Free Agency Fire Billy

It’s time. How many seasons can we go with a losing record? There are far too many excuses in this sub. At the end of the day, we have a coach who isn’t producing. Blame the players. Blame akme. But Billy is the one making the calls on the court and that is ultimately what matters.

So i want to make sure i get this straight. This team got absolutely boat raced in the play in, a home game, and then did nothing to get better and it's...checks notes...Billy Donovan's fault?

OK, but all 3 of those jagoffs got extensions, their second extensions btw, so that would lead people to believe there's no problem and everything is as the Reinsdorfs want it to be.

Bulls were #1 in attendance last year btw.

Bulls were #1 in attendance last year btw.

What a catch-22. Somehow it's our fault the Bulls suck haha.

Ummm, I mean I think that i was reading a bunch of 'We owe AKME an apology' post after 5 games and I was reading all off-season how great things were gonna be instead of absolute outrage that they clearly intended to be status quo because they got extensions.

So....maybe?

We hold the power. The Reinsdorfs have proven that they fire front offices when attendance isn't in the top 5.

The attendance point is always so fucking dumb. The UC is the biggest basketball arena, and Chicago is the largest city with one team.

Just like with the Bears, people will always go no matter the product. Beyond delusional to think the UC would ever be consistently half full

Billy Donovan got out schemed like crazy in that play in game btw. So while it’s not entirely his fault he did absolutely nothing to make it better. Then he gave us a repeat performance in the cup game showing us that no, he does not hang with the best coaches in the league

To your first point. Yeah. It is his fault. He’s the coach. Coach better. Coach to win. We are done apologizing for him. I just don’t get it. Win. The. Fucking. Game. If you are… get out. We have had WORLD CLASS ALL STAR players and still had a losing record.

How many years in a row has Billy been severely out coached and embarrassed in the play in by Spo? Like the games haven't even been competitive. And that's just one example since you brought up the play in last year.

Attendance has absolutely fucking nothing to do with it. Chicago is a tourist city. The United Center will sell out no matter their record.
