Calipari to the Bulls?

[playmakr]

The name Lebron and Bulls in the same sentence makes me pass out.

But, he's not going to Chicago.

But, this guy just might.....

Avery was his own worst enemy in Dallas. His head got so big with the early success and he also didn't draw up very good set plays from timeouts, etc. It's not like Avery inherited a bad club either. He inherited a winner and then guided them to the biggest collapse in NBA history and the first #1 seed to ever get beaten by an 8. I bought into the Avery hype at first; but I think the players finally turned on him and he had NO control of Josh Howard.

As far as Calipari I heard him speak at a coaches convention a few years ago after being fired by the Nets; he was super bitter and made lots of sarcastic remarks about how "he forgot how to coach" when he was in the NBA. I don't think he'll jump back into that.

Not the first....but the first in a 7 game series...

New York and Denver both beat #1 seeds as 8's...but that was in 5 game series...

New York made the Finals as a #8...

IMO the Denver victory over Seattle was a bigger upset than the Dallas upset...That Seattle team was nice as they had the best record in the league that season and a favorite to win the championship...that was actually the first 8/1 upset BTW

Avery Johnson would be a great hire for the Bulls... John Calipari would not.

Calipari just doesn't have the demeanor I woul be looking for in a NBA coach, that fiery attitude wears on your players over an 82 game season. Brad Stevens (evenutally) would be a great NBA coach in my opinion.

The Mavs core (players) while talented is just mentally weak, that's why they have limited success in the playoffs.
