You're right it is a upgrade. We will just score more points when we lose.



You think the defense will get worse?!

He was Chicago's fall back if they didn't get Hoiberg, and for some reason I saw reports of him interviewing in Utah which never made sense the way Utah exceeded expectations.

in 3 years (and I do hope I am wrong) but they will fire Demps


Demps has this year and a team option. They won't be firing Demps in 3 years, he'd be in the first year of a new deal.

Most of us expect natural player development alone to push us towards the 50 win mark next year even with Monty. AD is one of those players that can drag a bad team to the playoffs, the real test won't be regular season success but postseason success. An area where many of us feared Monty's weaknesses would rear their head the most. Monty's winning % in the playoffs: 2/8 .200 Gentry's: 12/9 .571 Those numbers alone don't tell the whole story, but you feel comfortable enough comparing 43% to 47%, might as well compare 20% to 57%.

Last year.

Gentry has flaws. Every name we heard has flaws. It's not a 10, but it's not a 2 either. I'm not sure there is a clearly better candidate available.

Gentry seems to align best with what Demps wants. Demps made the hire. He'll live or die by it.

I think this is by design. Benson and Loomis just took away his last excuse.

We have Gentry and Baby Thibs on board. I'm not saying you have to like it, but this is the hand we're playing for the next 9 months at least, so you might as well settle in and hope for the best.


I guess you didn't notice the avatar change. I'm done venting about the hire. Like I've said, I hope he proves me wrong. I'd rather be wrong and the team win than be proven right and see the team falter.

You won't. My guess is this dude is just trolling. He's been a member since 2012 and his first post of this board was a week ago. He'll be gone before the season even starts.

I have a feeling you will be telling us we were all right sooner rather than later.
