Vinny Must Go – Part Deux
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | Chicago Bulls, NBA, Sacramento Kings, Sports
Vinny Del Negro – Head Coach of the Chicago Bulls – must go! And he must go now. The Bulls hit an all-time low on Monday night at the United Center – blowing a 35-point lead (79-44) to the Sacramento Kings on their own home court with just under 9 minutes left to play in the 3rd quarter. The Bulls went on to lose in 102-98 in regulation. How does that even happen?
According to Del Negro: “This one stings. We stooped being aggressive, got a little complacent there and they jumped on it. We’re not good enough to take a minute off, never mind a half.” Guess what Vinny – you’re going to have a LOT of time off very, very soon.
It was the biggest comeback for a win in the NBA since the Utah Jazz overcame a 36-point deficit on November 27, 1996 to rally to beat the Denver Nuggets.
Throw in these other Bulls’ losses in the month of December alone, and you can see why Vinny’s days are numbered: a 32-point loss to the Toronto Raptors at home; a 2 point loss to the 1-win New Jersey Nets at home; a 35-point road loss to the Atlanta Hawks; a 26-point home loss to the Boston Celtics. Ouch.
If the Bulls lose to the Knicks in New York tonight, the Bulls could – and SHOULD – have a new coach before Saturday’s game against the New Orleans Hornets at the United Center.
