Bulls' interrim coach Myers will be stressing sacrifice

The last time Pete Myers stepped in as interim coach, the Bulls lost by 26 points at Dallas and by 11 points at San Antonio on successive nights in November 2003.

Gabe Kaplan would be a better coach than Pete Myers. "FASTBREAK...FASTBREAK... .FASTBREAK"..is all Gabe can say. What does that tell you about Pete Myers?

[Tony]

Pete Meyers?!?!?!? You've got to be kidding?!?!?!

[Marc]

Pete Myers? Ron Adams? Mr. Boylan? Is this a joke or is Paxson serious? None of the 3 clowns can hold a cup to Skiles in terms of coaching...Paxson has a roster full of babies, small babies who can't play defense...and Pete Myers is going to rescue this slop of a roster? Big Mr. Boylan? Wow, things just keep getting worse and worse for the Bulls...and I think it's hilarious...I just hope they finish with under 20 wins...now that would be something great for Paxson to see...I just want it to happen...I'd rather have that then be teased with a half-hearted effort at the 8th seed in the East...Bulls are a joke led by a bigger joke...

I bet you miss me now!

Lake Geneva Marc eloquently expresses the situation.
If Paxson had real intestinal fortitude, HE would take over the coaching and put it to the underachievers.

Give Pete a five year deal! He's the man!

Seriously, nobody is asking Pete Myers to save the season. The fact that Boylan is being talked to about finishing the season as INTERIM head coach says as much. Obviously someone has to fill the role until a new head coach is hired.

And it's strange, but I still have complete faith in Paxson as GM. At every turn, he's made the moves he had to to make the Bulls better. Of course, what about the low-post scorer we've obviously needed? A lot of us hoped before the season that Tyrus and Luol would improve their post scoring and we wouldn't have to go outside the organization to get someone else. Look for Pax to go and get a guy like Gasol since that hasn't happened.

I don't want to pile on Pax because of his history with the team. BUT, couldn't he remember that his teams had Michael Jordan? That a superstar is needed to take a NBA team to the next level. It has been clear for a while that they don't have that player here. They needed a player to build around! Pax missed the chance.

[Jack]

Seriously what has Johnnie Pax done? He has 3 or 4 dwarfs playing guard, the man in the middle was known only for defense and now he can't even do that. The rest are just add-ons to fill out the roster. The Bulls are far worst than the dog days of Artis Gilmore. With the follies of the White Sox I'm leaving pro sports watching altogether. I'm moving to Alaska and change my name to Igloo.

So does this mean I will soon be able to take my 2 & 6 yr old kids to a game without declaring bankruptcy?

You see they are trading tomorrow's fans for the here and now money and forgotten the game

Is someone watching the game? They still suck! It doesn't matter who coaches, they suck!
