Don’t try to downplay Luka’s greatness

This wasn’t a case of opposing fans overpowering the home fans

This was everyone in the building celebrating a single player which rarely happens

If you really want someone with ties to the organization you should be doing everything possible to get Will Hardy from Utah
That would be nice, but Utah isn’t letting him walk for nothing short of a ridiculous trade.

He has definitely showed to be a bright young coach even while navigating obvious tanking obstacles. Lmao
 


The data isn’t public, and to our knowledge, it’s never been shared in this form before. Stotts was able to extract and isolate the specific data we needed, and after a month of obsessive digging, what we found was – while perhaps anticlimactic – illuminating: there’s no clear or consistent pattern showing Thibodeau-coached players are more likely to get hurt than anyone else.

Injury spikes during his Bulls tenure can largely be attributed to Rose and a lengthy absence from Richard Hamilton. But aside from those exceptions, there’s no continuous or notable trend. While it’s fair to wonder whether heavy minutes might have subtle or long-term effects – and while Thibodeau’s approach may still be out of step with evolving sports science – the data doesn’t support a definitive link between his coaching style and injury risk.

Still, the process of looking into Thibodeau’s record revealed a broader, perhaps more unsettling trend: injuries have been rising across the NBA for more than a decade, regardless of coaching style, playing time or load management.
