It’s Crazy, But I Kind Of Miss Scott Skiles
As I discussed earlier, defense will be the key to a successful season for the Chicago Bulls. That got me thinking about Scott Skiles. While he wasn’t the best coach in many ways, the one thing he was (and is, damn Bucks) good at is making his teams play excellent defense. Individually and as a team, Skiles made the Bulls play some of the best defense they have ever played in the history of the franchise. In fact, statistically they were the best Bulls defense in the modern era and one of the best in the NBA during the modern era. According to Celtics Hub:
According to that list, the 2006-2007 Bulls were the 8th best defensive unit since 1980. I’m not saying I wish we still had Skiles because we all know he would stunt Rose’s growth and be tuned out by just about the entire team, but boy was that defense good.
