It's time for Bulls fans to justify this "he's running players into the ground because he plays them 40 minutes". Are you children? Did you just start watching this sport since 2010 when the Spurs way took over the league? What is it?
Butler is averaging 41.5 MPG in the playoffs so far. Cool. Jordan's career playoff average was 41.8 MPG, Kobe's is 39.3 MPG(lower mostly due to the fact he came off the bench his first couple of years, his playoff high was on a title run was 43.8 MPG), Lebron's career playoff average 42.5 MPG. This is a SOFT ass trend that has started in the league and had made certain fans unbearable. Players don't break by playing 40 plus minutes per game in the playoffs, that's what STARS are meant to do and it gives their team a FAR better chance of winning the longer they're out there on the court.
Fair enough if it's a guy like Noah and he's coming off an injury or even Rose who clearly shouldn't be playing that much, but some of yall need to jump off of Thibs because he likes playing one of his best players a lot of minutes because it used to be a common trend for about 70 years of basketball.
Ridiculous comment. Thibs' status as a top-tier coach is not mutually exclusive with him having to find a new employer after the season concludes (which only becomes more readily apparent as more stories about the toxic work environment come out).
