re: Bulls fire Thibs

Thibs overworking guys is more than about MPG. It's about out of game time as well. Noah and Deng both being washed at 30 isn't a great look when you add to it the eye test of his team looking exhausted toward the end of the year.

Noah played 30.6 mpg this year. Since Thibs has been in Chicago he has averaged 33.18

That isn't an extreme amount of minutes at all.

Deng is a swing man. While he did play heavy minutes at 38ish per its pretty normal for SF/SGs to start slowing up around age 30. It's not like he was shite this year either.
