"One NBA scout courtside insisted that, "Vinny ran three [different] plays the whole half and barely made any [play] calls. We don’t even know what to write down. They had a lot more variety last year, a lot more ball movement. It was almost like Vinny said, ‘Screw it, you guys figure it out.’ "

Your Chicago Bulls!

Vinny answers his critics

So basically, since none of us have played in the NBA, we have no idea what we're talking about. I didn't realize you needed to be a basketball genius to figure out that losing by 30 points every night is bad, but apparently you do. Stupid and arrogant is no way to go through life, Vinny.

"If we were losing close games you could blame the injuries," one Bull said. "But this?"

So now we have anonymous players ripping VDN in the press.

[This is exactly right, though I suppose such a statement isn't all regarding VDN. But point differential matters, and even when healthy they weren't good enough, and they're not just losing now but getting absolutely destroyed.

I still don't think VDN is fired this soon. Hollinger mentions that they have a big homestand coming up, but the next 3 games include Boston and L.A....so there's still plenty of room for more torches to be lit, and I don't think the Org. respects the fanbase enough to worry if they're upset already. -ed]
