GMs are like the media... everything they think they know about the league is based on last season. Plus polls like this always devolve into popularity contests, so none of the votes are informed or based on rational thought. The has never been much love for Chicago based teams nationally, so the Bulls must earn respect, unlike NY and LA based teams. Just sayin...
We all know Rose is far and away the best PG in the league, and will challenge LeBron for the MVP if he stays healthy. We know the Bulls are better than Indiana. We also know Thibs is a better coach than Spoestra and Rivers. I do give the nod to Pops as the best coach overall because he's won more championships than anyone else.
