Come on back when your team routinely trades away its best player and plays in front of a half-full arena.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Knicks Fan feels your pain, and ignores it. Come on back when your team has the worst coach and GM in your team's history, and has the most expensive and unlikable roster in the league.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Skiles is a burnout disciplinarian. Those kinds always have a short shelf life. The Bulls will revive under someone else, make the playoffs, then fail to advance past the second round because they're not as good as the top 3 teams in the East.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/616612301888538671/comments/default/2620792414955585151'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/616612301888538671/comments/default/2620792414955585151'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2007/12/firing-scott-skiles-solves-nothing.html?showComment=1198528200000#c2620792414955585151' title=''/><author><name>DMtShooter</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17773877707208485532</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.epiccarnival.com/2007/12/firing-scott-skiles-solves-nothing.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1549089718489651445.post-616612301888538671' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1549089718489651445/posts/default/616612301888538671' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
