Tom Thibodeau wins coach of year

Good for Thibs, he deserved it. You could bring up Doug Collins of Philly or George Karl of Denver, but Thibs made a good team into the best team in the NBA during the regular season.

The first-year head coach led the Bulls to a 62-20 regular season and the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. He's a great coach and like he did in Boston, he hat the team buy into defense. The Bulls can obviously score some points led by the pg Derrick Rose, but play great defense.

He was also able to lead this team while losing Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah for big portions of the year.

Good job Thibs you deserve it.

Tom Thibs Goes To Chi Town

Celtics "defensive coordinator" Tom Thibodeau is going to Chi Town to coach the Bulls next year. I'm a big Thibodeau fan and thinks he deserves the job over a lot of people. He has deserved a head coaching job for the past 2 years, however, I'm a little disappointed in the timing of this. I wish he just waited until after the finals so it wasn't a distraction. I think this team can handle adversity very well figuring they are all veterans, but I wouldn't risk it.

I'm glad he went to the Bulls over Hornets, because if LeBron does go there, it will be very interesting how he will interact with Queen James.

Anyways, I hope we can win it this year, because BMack said to me yesterday, we might be losing Thibs and Doc at the end of this year.

Hurricane Thibodeau Heading To New Orleans

The Hornets are looking for a new head coach and it looks as if Tom Thibodeau is going to be their man. The guy who got the Celtics focused on defense is going to be a giant loss if he leaves. Doc may be making the right calls during the game, but Thibs is the defensive mastermind behind it all.

This is all another reason why the Celtics need to win it this year, because they are going to need Thibs when it comes to Lakers (If we beat the Magic). He has changed the whole mindset (along with Doc Rivers) of the Boston Celtics and the Hornets got a steal with him being their guy. He also has been deserving of a head coaching job for years now and his name fits Louisiana so well too.

Kings Hire Paul Westphal

The Sacramento Kings offered their coaching job to two candidates on an eventful Tuesday in the NBA, ultimately reaching an agreement with Paul Westphal after Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Kurt Rambis turned the job down.

I don't know what the deal is with Tom Thibodeau and if that means the defensive guru is coming to Boston, but I certainly hope so. No words can really explain the defensive impact this guy has made with the Celtics. With a healthy K.G. coming back, I really don't see the Celtics winning anything but a championship. So Tom Thib's please come back to Boston and let's win a couple more.

Tom Thibs Update

As the Lakers prepared for today's start of the NBA Finals, their top assistant -- Kurt Rambis -- is believed to have emerged as the front-runner for the job. But sources close to the situation say Paul Westphal's chances remain strong, with the former Phoenix and Seattle coach and Los Angeles resident having interviewed in Las Vegas on May 13.

Meanwhile, Boston associate head coach Tom Thibodeau was also waiting while the sentiment remained that he still is being considered.

Asked if all three candidates still were in the running, Geoff Petrie said, "I guess at this point, if it was a horse race, it may end up being a photo finish."

From my standpoint it was a blessing we even got him back for a second, so i'm rooting for Kurt Rambis to get this job. Thibs is a huge reason the Celtics are so great defensively, and if we could get him for one more year before the Big 3 window is closed it would be huge.

Tom Thibodeau To Interview For 76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers are moving forward with their head coaching search and confirmed Monday they will interview Boston Celtics assistant coach Tom Thibodeau.

This scares the hell out of me, but lets face it Celtics fans, this was inevitable. Thibodeau is a hell of a defensive coach, and we were blessed to even get him back for one more season. He should take just as much credit for last years championship team as Doc Rivers and Danny Ainge. If he does go to the Sixers, that will suck, but I will wish him nothing but good luck.
