Tom Thibodeau was fired by the Chicago Bulls earlier today. Everyone saw it coming, even if the Bulls had faint hopes of extracting compensation from either the Orlando Magic or New Orleans Pelicans. Those two franchises called the Bulls bluff and Thibodeau was sent packing. The press release announcing the decision was seen by many as petty on the part of the Bulls organization. This is, of course, par for the course when talking about the Bulls. BlogaBull has covered it thoroughly already.
It's impossible not to draw parallels back to the last time the Bulls were good, when Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen and Phil Jackson won six championships.
