It’s been discussed for a while but now it’s official. The Chicago Bulls have officially fired head coach Tom Thibodeau.
NBA Report: Lakers Will Pursue Head Coach Tom Thibodeau
Last year before Byron Scott was hired, a report was released that Kobe Bryant “will wish for Tom Thibodeau to free himself from Chicago” and become the head coach for the Lakers. Well Bryant may get his wish. The Bulls have been eliminated from the NBA playoffs and there’s talk that they will part ways with Thibodeau.

The Chicago Bulls franchise literally probably has nightmares when it comes to Lebron. No matter what team they construct, or what game plan they come up with, they just can’t beat Lebron in the playoffs. Last night Bron and company eliminated the Bulls and it marks the fourth time in six seasons that he is responsible for ending the Bulls season, while they have never been able to do the same. Jerry Reinsdorf might be the real Bulls owner, but it is safe to say Bron owns them just as much!
(Video) NBA: Taj Gibson Gets Into Altercation With Fans After Object Thrown at Him During His Ejection
Things got pretty heated during game 5 of the Chicago Bulls vs. Cleveland Cavaliers series on Tuesday night. Taj Gibson got tangled up Matthew Dellavedova and in my opinion was unfairly ejected. Dellavedova held Gibson in a leg lock and Gibson tried to kick his foot free but it looked like Gibson tried to kick Dellavedova as he laid on the ground. In any event, Gibson was hit with a flagrant 2 and ejected from the game. As he was walking towards to the locker room, a fan threw an object at him.

Game 5 between The Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls did not end in a buzzer-beater, but was not void of excitement at the least bit. Another back and forth contest saw the Cavaliers come away with the win, but that came after Bulls forward, Taj Gibson, was ejected from the game for kicking the Cav’s point-guard Matthew Dellavadova.
NBA Report: Lakers Preparing to Offer Jimmy Butler a Max Contract
Jimmy Butler has been working extremely hard this season; he made the All-Star game, won Most Improved Player and now that he’s due for a new contract, he’ll get the max allowed. Butler will be a restricted free agent and the Chicago Bulls are expected to do everything in their power to keep him but he’ll certainly have other teams at his door. So will he directly sign with the Bulls or will he sign an offer sheet somewhere else and force the Bulls to match. Getting an offer definitely won’t be a problem.
