As a Knick fan, I just want to go on a little rant about Tom Thibodeau really quick.... Everyone was like.. omg he is such a great Coach.. Im so glad the bulls ended up with him rather than Mike D'antoni, see Mike D'antoni's system doesn't work look how good the Bulls are playing in the play offs when the Knicks were out the first round blablabla
All I have to say is Tom Thibs has done nothing that D'antoni hasn't done... In 2005 D'antoni got his team from winning 29 games the previous year to winning 62.. pretty much just like the Bulls... He got them to the Conference finals before they were knocked out, soon to be the same as the Bulls... and He won coach of the year just like Thibs....
He's pretty much the Anti D'antoni...Where as D'antoni was obsessed with offense Tom Thibs is obsessed with Defense... His offensive coaching sucks.. Its so bad that other teams even with Mediocre or terrible defenses can stop them from scoring even one bucket for several minutes at a time. They don't spread the floor well, they never get their shoters like Kyle Corver open shots so he always has to rush them... and if a team like the Heat just clogs the lane so Derrick Rose can't drive in and attack the basket they've got absolutely nothing offensively.
Mark my words Bulls are going to be the new pheonix suns of the Eastern conference. While I don't think Tom Thibedau is a terrible coach by any means, I just don't agree that he is any better than Mike D'antoni.. And I don't think D'antoni is a bad coach either.
