Very true rami. But thibs needs to implement an offense that will expose the players strengths. And as we all know, the bulls need another guy that can create his own shot.
The Heat defense is pretty much too good for the Bulls' offense no matter which way you slice it though. Korver cannot get open looks and is one-dimensional and easy to defend because James, Wade, Bosh, and Chalmers are all great at closing out on shooters. Brewer has little offense and you can sag all the way off of him. Deng depends largely on Rose and cannot deal with a guy like Wade or James guarding him. He can't create for himself and all he can do very well on offense is that wide open uncontested jump-shot. Noah is decent at everything for his size but he is not a great offensive player at all. Asik speaks for itself. Gibson most lives on pick and pops and put-backs. Boozer was a turnover machine.
I really don't think Thibodeau could have done much more to make them a better offensive team. He could have left Noah in instead of Asik but, I hate to say it... Noah is soft. He was emotionally spent and was psychological out of it after he made mistakes. Defense comes easier for Asik.
