If the Chicago Bulls were a car, then their engine fell out last year. There were a lot of issues surrounding the team; however, most of them had to do with either head coach Fred Hoiberg or All-Star Jimmy Butler. The Bulls missed the postseason due to all of their problems, and Hoiberg will be on the hot seat if it happens for two years in a row. Mistake were made, but these were the ones that ultimately cost them a shot at making the playoffs.
Jimmy Butler Should've Led By Example
Getty ImagesJimmy Butler's foray into vocal leadership this season was an absolute disaster. It didn't get the Bulls any more wins, and it also irritated his teammates. He needs to lead by example next year.
Joakim Noah Shouldn't Have Been Benched Publicly
Sam Sharpe-USA TODAY SportsJoakim Noah never asked to be benched, but that's what Hoiberg said to ESPN in the early season. This rubbed Noah the wrong way, and he'll probably look for a different team this summer as a result.
Fred Hoiberg Should've Been More Assertive
Getty ImagesHoiberg was passive-aggressive with the Bulls all season, and he paid for it in the end. If he doesn't bring a sterner voice in practice on the defensive side of the ball, then Chicago should start getting used to the lottery.
Derrick Rose Must Accept His Limitations
Getty ImagesThe point guard who was once the NBA's MVP has limitations now. Derrick Rose needs to understand the weaknesses of his game and change his approach accordingly. He was shooting way too much last year, and he must become more of a distributor.
Taj Gibson Should've Watched His Elbows
Getty ImagesThe season's entire tone was set when Taj Gibson broke Rose's orbital bone in the first day of training camp. It was an accident, but Gibson needs to tone down the hustle a bit when the Bulls haven't even played in their first official game yet.
