Report: Tom Thibodeau to Coach Bulls


According to reports circulating around the web, Tom Thibodeau has accepted a three-year contract offer from the Bulls. The offer was made within 48 hours after he interviewed with the Bulls' executives on the eve of Game 1 of the Finals. Although there is no official announcement yet from the Bulls, NBA prohibits announcement of any deals during the Finals to avoid any distractions, an announcement is expected to be made as soon as the Finals ends.

Thibodeau turned down an offer from the Hornets because he wanted to interview for the Bulls. That's determination from a guy who risked his first real opportunity to coach and NBA team just for the chance to be considered a prime candidate for the Bulls job. It's not as if he was being arrogant, he just wanted to go after what he felt was best for him. He got what he had hoped for and now we ask...

Why Tom Thibodeau?

Well, Tom is a well-known defensive coach. He has been widely endorsed by current and previous coaches and considered to be the most ready among the assistant coaches in the league. He relates well with players and is well-respected by them. Thibodeau has served as an assistant with seven teams over 18 NBA seasons, finishing in the top-10 defensively 15 times. The Bulls expressed their priority on defense and Tom is the best out there when it comes to defense. Although some say he is just a defense-oriented coach, Bulls' execs believed otherwise. A reporter from the Chicago Tribune reported that they were as impressed with his offensive schemes which centered on drive-and-kick(much like that of Skiles' system)and pick-and-roll.

The challenge now for Tom is to make this roster commit on the defensive end. Transform Rose into a better defensive player. He has to change the make up of this team. He is inheriting a very good young team which just needs a good leader/teacher who held each player accountable no matter who they are. He must maximize the Rose-Noah duo and create a system that exploits their abilities. Expectations are very high in Chicago because of the rich history of the franchise, that alone is a tough one to carry on as he becomes the next Bulls coach.

Did the Bulls hire a great coach? It still remains to be seen. But they hired one of the great minds in the NBA, a well known defensive coach.It is a great start for a franchise itching to return to prominence in the NBA.

NBA FINALS Game 1: Lakers pound Celtics for 102-89 win


Kobe Bryant scored 30 points to lead Lakers past the Celtics in a convincing Game 1 triumph and now lead the series 1-0. Pau Gasol contributed heavily with 23 points and 14 rebounds on 8-14 shooting. Pau shrugged off the "SOFT" label by dominating the paint and the defenses of Garnett and Perkins. Pierce led the Celtics with 24 points on 6-13 shooting night. Ray Allen was in foul trouble most of the game.

Kobe was his usual self, hitting jumpers and floaters. He was able to dissect the Celtics' defense. Pau was pretty effective inside with his post moves. Artest contributed as well together with his defense on Pierce.

Frustration was evident from the Celtics players. Their big men were outplayed by Gasol and Bynum. Garnett was missing some point blank shots and Perkins had little to contribute with only 8 points and 3 rebounds.

We expect the Celtics to make some adjustments in Game 2. For them to win, Rajon Rondo must be aggressive and should take over the game with his speed and play making ability.The Celtic must tighten their interior defense for them to have a chance in this series.

Game 2 will be on MOnday at 9 am.

The LeBron Song « Sports 1140 KHTK

Check this out! This is a song made by Tim Frantz, a Sacramentan (native of Sacramento), to lure Lebron James to come and sign in Sacramento. I know, I know, Sacramento is the last place he'd go to but at least they made their intention known. The tune is gotten from the "Thong song" tune. So just hear it out. It is very funny and hilarious but a great one!
