Can you believe that John Paxson.......?

fired Scott Skiles?

Between The Bulls. Bears, Cubs, and Sox, I thought the most able coach to manage a Chicago pro team was Skiles.

These f...ing stars like Ben Wallace, the lazy Tyrus Thomas, and the over-paid Kirk Heinrich still are stealing money from the Bulls. Especially that low-life Wallace.

    I thought Skiles actually brought the team and the fans some hope!

    Its the way the game is (professional-wise) your expected to take a crappy team that may look good on paper and turn them into a NBA champioship team. Yeah right (LOL)

    I thought that was wrong, right before Christmas.

    I guess Mr. Scrooge really hated the man that dished-out 30ast in a game.

    Wallace is coming off ankel injury, but its turning into a career injury!

    Are you serious? Scott Skiles is a 3-4 year coach, great at rebuilding a team, but nothing else. He did the exact same thing in Phoenix. He is not a championship caliber coach, and never will be the way he coaches. He did a great job for a few years, but to those who say this team is under-achieving, you might want to take a look again and realize that for 2 years they over-achieved. This is an average team that was given high expectations. If you ask me, Paxson AND Skiles should have been fired. They both did a great job rebuilding, and over the past year have thrown that away. Tyrus Thomas for LaMarcus Aldridge? Thabo Sefelosha drafted over Rudy Gay? Not to mention passing up on Kobe.. Paxson needs to go next.

    You are right on with this one ice....it's a shame that Skiles took the brunt for under-achieving overpaid lugs.

    Ozzie Guillen better look over his shoulder if his team has another bad year. And that's 2 seasons after a World Series win.

    I cnt believe it I truly believed Isiah was going to be the only one fired his year, if he wanted a silver lining to this season beginning why didnt he look at the knicks. But you are being hard on wallace he is having a tough time.
