Dwyane Wade whipping the Bulls into shape and changing the loser culture in Chicago

[kobeunderbite]

As a rookie NBA coach last season, Fred Hoiberg was seen as a friendly players’ guy who got walked all over by his players at times. Jimmy Butler begged Hoiberg to coach the team harder.

This season, Hoiberg doesn’t have to yell at his players — Dwyane Wade is doing it for him.

Hoiberg gave carte blanche to Wade to stop practices and call out teammates’ mistakes, and Wade is taking full advantage, reports Nick Friedell of ESPN.

“The coaching staff really doesn’t need to say much because before you know it, every time I turn around D-Wade is stopping the play and he’s cursing guys out as well,” Bulls power forward Taj Gibson said. “And it’s great and our young guys are understanding to it. They’re still in here early; they’re staying late. And they understand what we need to do and that’s really good for us early.”

Can Wade really right the sinking Bulls ship?

Hopefully so. Last year was a disaster.

Hopefully Wade's leadership can help the Bulls win more.

I think the Bucks were a playoff team before Middleton got hurt.

In my mind there is a spot open, and the Bulls could take advantage of it. Butler has to become more of a threat from 3 point range though.

They dont have the personnel to really do much

Wade taught LeBron how to be a winner, so I sure as hell hope he can do the same with the Bulls.

You and obama cheer for the same teams...and are from the same city

Wade is easily the best player the Bulls have had since #23 left town.

From a "career" perspective Wade would be the best player almost all NBA teams have had in a long, looong time... since he's a certain first-ballot HOFER.

That being said, he has yet to play one single game for the Bulls so the jury is still out on the sort of player he is / will be in the "present"... and for your sake he'd better not play like that first-ballot HOFER because if he does the Bulls will be going to the Finals this year.

DIscuss why that thought upsets you...

Its actually true...donthe research...
Bulls have no outside . Threats and no real inside threats and no interior defense beyond taj...lol
And a very weak bench...
All they have is three big names...two of which are last theirmprimes while the other is vastly overrated....

so you did all the research and feel your findings are far better than those pros that evaluate rosters? and virtually every other source that compares the rosters of the two teams

The magic have been evaluated lazily since day one...never have any so called experts ever had a clue what they are talking about regarding the magic...they definitely dont research them half as much as other teams...and the proof is by them being painfully dead wrong about them 99% of the time.

now you're just sounding ridiculous
the pros evaluate EVERY TEAM before and during the a season- and you're silly enough to say they just know nothing about the Magic
they have NOT been wrong about them and most correctly predicted where they would finish in the past - give or take a few games

[LeBronMonsterDunk]

All the professionals in the NBA predict the Magic will suck (yet again), but a Mexican poop painter in Orlando has the real inside scoop on the team.

10-15 games off is not give or take a game...and no they dont have a clue what they are talking about when discussing the magic..same way you clowns have no idea...
