After canceling practice on Tuesday, Thibodeau admitted to reporters that the Bulls have serious problems at the present time. Among those problems: locker room cohesiveness.
“We have a problem. This is more than just basketball, it’s locker room issues. We’re ready to make a change if we have to.”
Apparently the Chicago Bulls set aside the “locker room” issues on Thursday night after dismantling the San Antonio Spurs in a systematic fashion. But, will one win against a top tier opponent save Tom Thibodeau’s job with the Chicago Bulls? It is unlikely. This is a league where anybody can beat anybody else on any given night. The Bulls will have to put together a long string of winning performances to offset the last week and a half of pathetic basketball to save the job of their coach.
