I am sure that earlier today, you have heard the news that Chicago Bulls GM John Paxton annouced that he has fired head coach Scott Skiles, and for the 2nd time this decade, the Chicago Bulls have changed coaches on Christmas Eve, the other team they have done so, when Tim Floyd re-signed on December 24, 2001. But Chicago Bulls fans, what do you think of this move? I am not a Chicago Bulls fan, but I think that this one of the most curelest thing that a GM can do at holiday time. Now I know that I have asked, before if you think that Scott Skiles is the right man for the job of head coach of the Chicago Bulls. I am predicting, like in the past, John Paxton will rush into naming a replacement, even no matter who will be interim head coach. How long do you think it will be before he annouces the next head coach, who do you think he will hire as Scott Skiles' replacement, and why do you think that he will take this long, and why do you think that he wll hire this coach?

That's life man. You gotta face it. I send my best wishes out to the Skiles family, wish them a very Merry Christmas. It is truly harsh, but some things just have to happen. Gregg Popovich told Avery Johnson and his family about him getting cut from Spurs sometime around Christmas, and Pop said it was probably the hardest thing he ever had to do as a coach. About Skiles' getting fired, if the Bulls had a better record it would've never happened. I'll be honest, Chicago disappointed me greatly. I predicted them to be an elite Eastern Conference team and them to make it to the East Finals vs. Boston. The coaching wasn't the only problem Chicago had, it's the players. They have alotta talent, but they don't have a go-to-guy; we don't even know who the team leader is. Gordon and Deng are not consistent performers.

GOD DAMN..I'm so pissed off....I couldn't believe John Paxson did this...Skiles is not the person to blame...It is the players..If I were him, I could have changed the roster as soon as possible..They are not the same team I've been cheering before the last couple of years...I'm so Depressed everytime they lose..so I just decided not to watch any of their games and only see the highlights...They need a star or a go to guy..that can deliver and give them W's..

The move by the Bulls is normal for a GM to do if his team is not doing well.. The Bulls should try to get Jeff Van Gundy to coach the Bulls...

__FACTS__
1. They Paid Ben Wallace too much, he shoot low percentage and all he do is block shots and rebound, and he rarely do that now, he was better with the pistons because of the veteran circle they have
2. Tyrus shouldn't try to gain weight, he is decreasing his athletic ability
3. They need a physical point, because they don't have a low post threat
4. They have too many role players
5. Deng, Kirk, BG7 are secondary stars
6. THEY ARE NOT PHYSICAL

IF I WAS GM, BELIEVE I WOULD TRADE KIRK TO SEATTLE FOR A FIRST ROUND PICK, WHO KNOWS THEY MIGHT GET DEANDRE JORDAN, OR DERRICK ROSE
