Earth to the Bulls Front Office: Your Team Isn’t Championship-Caliber

The Chicago Bulls led the Cleveland Cavaliers in the final seconds of Game 4 in their Eastern Conference Semifinal series last May.

You may or may not know how this ends.

Simply put: It’s the game where LeBron James hit the dagger that basically brought the fatality of Tom Thibodeau’s career as Bulls head coach.

The Bulls lost Game 4 after James’ improbable game-winner, then lost the next two games and were sent home by the generation’s best player for the third time in the last four years.

Thibodeau’s departure was inevitable after the Bulls were eliminated.
