Skiles given pink slip

So....Scott Skiles is getting fired before Isiah Thomas? Geesh.

Nice Christmas it should be for the Skiles family. Nice classy move, John Paxson. And here I thought you had more intestinal fortitude. Guess not. Yes, the Bulls should be doing better. Yes, the idea was that they were going to go far in the playoffs, not be one of the worst in the Eastern Conference--and the conference isn't very strong anyways. But when is it Skiles fault versus the idea that when management went out and signed Ben Wallace to a ridiculous contract when he was already in the twilight of his career.

And then there was the fact that Ben Gordon hasn't been able to hit water while sitting in a boat....combined with the lack of offseason movement the management did to improve their team this year, and you say that Skiles is the one to pay for it?

Again...Paxson...dude, come on! Seriously? You really think this is Skiles' issue? We're talking about a guy who took a laughingstock of a team after the likes of Tim Floyd ran it into the ground, made them into a contender again, and because they've started out badly this year---it's totally on him??

So....when does Paxson's actions or non-actions start getting questioned???
