The Boylen stuff has been brewing for a while now. The players didn’t like him before he was named head coach. Gar wanted Hoiberg fired last year and replaced with Boylen. I’ve heard stuff here and there, and after Saturday’s loss, my Bulls buddy said all hell was going to break loose, and looks like he was right.

The Bucks are currently in first place in the East but are a half game back of the Raptors.
The Bucks are a half game ahead of the Raptors. I get what you're saying but even the NBA acknowledges the Bucks are 0.5 games ahead.
Did anyone else see that ridiculous non-call in last night's Warriors-Rockets game? Wow. I'm not a Rockets fan (or a Harden fan), but I'm glad Harden nailed a circus shot to help mitigate that idiocy. What the hell happened there? Think the NBA will address it?
It was a horrid mistake, but I sure hope the focus is on how great that game was, and Harden's heroics. Wildly entertaining second half and OT.
Butler continues to be a cancer. I can't understand why any team would want him (hence, the reason he has been traded twice is a short period).League sources have told ESPN that Jimmy Butler has aggressively challenged coach Brett Brown on his role in the offense, complicating an already tenuous chemistry among the team's Big Three hierarchy.Butler has been vocal in his contesting of Brown and his system, including a recent film session in Portland that some witnesses considered "disrespectful" and beyond normal player-coach discourse.
This is the third coach in a row that's he's had issues with. I wonder what the problem is?
To be fair, Hoiberg had issues with a lot of people and is not being considered for NBA jobs. Jimmy had no problem with Thibs, he had a problem with the roster. If Thibs was still coaching the Bulls, the Butler trade likely doesnt happen.That being said, this isn't a great look. Cancer is a bit strong, but he's having trouble finally being on a very good team and not being the man. People downplay the role of it, but thats why coaches like Kerr and Phil Jackson have been so successful, not cause they are X and O masters, but because they manage personalities so well. Butler certainly isn't the only guy who has had an issue in situations like this. Should be interesting given Brown has only been the head of a rebuilding team up until this year and came from a Spurs attempted ego-free culture.
