What Does He Have To Do?

Seriously, what does Vinny Del Negro have to do to get fired? His team is getting blown out, at home, and the only teams they can beat are the bottom of the barrel. The Bulls are about to lose two more at home (Boston tonight, LA Lakers on Tuesday) and at that point if VDN doesn't get fired, it's clear it's never going to happen. The offense is completely disjointed, half the team looks lost on defense, and other than Noah, Deng, and Rose no one is playing up to their potential.

Other NBA News:

Allen Iverson is back with Philly, and they are yet to win a game with him on the roster. Is it a coincidence? I have no idea, but it's freaking HIGH-larious. AI wanted back, he wanted to start, and I wonder how long it will be before he starts calling out his coach and new teammates? This is so much fun, fans shouldn't be aloud to have this much fun.

The Suns keep winning, and they are beating good teams. Why is this relevant? Because once the playoffs start their record is irrelevant. They will lose to the Spurs, Lakers, and possibly even the Nuggets. The only their regular season does is set me up for disappointment once the playoffs start.

This whole season has already been about where will LeBron, Wade, and Bosh end up in the offseason. The rumors are flying and even someone like me (who loves this kind of talk) is already sick of it. As of right now, Bosh looks like he'll leave, LeBron and Wade will most likely stay put.

What is more interesting is what is going to happen to Carlos Boozer? How he hasn't been traded yet is one of the stories of the year. Everyone knows he won't be back next year, so at this point wouldn't Utah take anything, as in any player that would crack their rotation and not kill their cap? I would think players like Tyrus Thomas, Jordan Hill, anyone from the Warriors, would be very high on the Jazz's trade talk list. Yet we hear nothing.

The Blazers are Fucked...AGAIN! Oden is out for the year. Outlaw is out for who knows how long, and Rudy has been in and out of the lineup. The Blazers had a chance last year to make major moves but chose to stand pat, and now they are paying the price. This team is no closer to winning a championship than the Jazz are or the Heat, or any other middle of the rung team. I feel bad for Oden since he was finally putting it together, but the Blazers could have added serious players to their team and instead all they ended up with is a backup point guard who is getting paid starters money.
