Re: Let's talk about George Karl
Is Karl one of those coaches that the players don't like at all (eg. Skiles)?
I really think the Nuggets could be doing much better with a new look coach.
Look what the Bulls' players are saying about their new coach, and I think that's EXACTLY what this team needs;
Quote:
When Monday's practice was opened to the media, it appeared that the players were finished working and ready for a retreat to the locker room. But then they snapped back into action and spent about 20 minutes on shooting practice.
With that in mind, some players were asked what's different about the Bulls now that Boylan is in charge and gave a variety of answers. All agreed, though, that it's been a positive change.
"Everyone's kind of happier out there," Deng said. "He's really done a good job of just bringing us together, understanding that if we're going to win, we need all of us."
"I think guys are real enthusiastic for some reason," added rookie Joakim Noah. "I don't know why, but that's just the way it is."
As far as what's different about the actual practices, Noah suggested the Bulls are spending more time reviewing game video and working on individual skills.
"We watch a lot more film on the things we could have done better," he said. "We didn't do that a lot before. Instead of just running up and down the whole time (in practice), there's more emphasis on exactly what we're doing."
Deng felt the practices have been more pleasant because Boylan is asking the Bulls to play at a faster tempo.
"We run a lot more," he said. "When we practice, everyone tends to get shots up and it kind of makes the game fun for everybody."
