I won't remember Skiles as an above average coach for my Bulls, but as an assassin in NBA Jam: Tournament Edition.

You mean players revolt when they get cussed out for 48 minutes a game? Get right outta town!

Oh and Fire Isiah!
Now he's benching Curry for Lee, which is smart, but gee Noah and Aldridge for Wilson Chandler and Curry! nice job.

How can anyone be fairly athletic, and be a bulky 7 footer, yet be unable to avergage double-digit rebounds!

@The Legend of Vincent Tremblay: That's not as frightening as hearing back during Grant Hill's rookie year that his finances were being watched over by Marcus Liberty.

I'm just glad that nobody is blaming this on Paxson. After all, Skiles was the one responsible for (1) signing Ben Wallace and letting Tyson Chandler go, (2) trading LaMarcus Aldridge for Tyrus Thomas, (3) drafting such superstars as Joakim Noah and Rodney Carney (in turn traded for Thabo Sefalosha), and (4) refusing to trade Ben Gordon or Deng in a package for Kobe.

I blame Skiles' fall on his waffling with the no-headband rule.

I've had the pleasure of sitting right behind Kirk Hinrich's spot on the Bulls bench a couple of times...Pete Myers just wanders around, smiling like an idiot, happy to be there. So this should be interesting.

Also, Grandma tells a pretty good story about having been his real estate agent for a brief amount of time when he was still relevant as an NBA player. Good times.

Good point...but who gets to be Juicegirl? OJ's daughter (can't remember her name)...and Alfred is Ron Goldman, right?

@Lisa: No, they're going to help each other out. What we're witnessing is the beginning of a new super duo:the Juice and the Juicer.

Assuming, that is, that they don't kill each other while arguing over which one has to be 'Boy Wonder.' My bet is on Clemens, since steroids have also given him the ability to fit into the smaller codpiece.

The man was a straight-up 3-point machine on NBA Jam. He doesn't need this low-level job.

Clemens' attorney launches his own 'probe' into the Rocket's steroid allegations. OJ Simpson approves.

For the record, Pete replaced MJ after retirement #1. Let's all hope Isiah becomes available and can "come home" to lead the Bulls. Actually, let's don't.

Memo to Larry Brown:

You've got some meaningless front office position with a talentless team and the Bulls have a talented roster in need of a coach. Chicago is also one of the 3 NBA teams you have never coached. The next time your phone rings it will be Paxson on the other line.

In other words, make it happen.

Skiles himself said not to feel sorry for him. "There are a lot of people who get fired at the holidays and they don't have money. I do. So don't feel sorry for me."

maybe the expectations will be a little lower this time around for Myers.
