Boy, that escalated quickly. It was merely a week ago when the Chicago Bulls fired head coach Fred Hoiberg after a 5-19 start to the season and promoted Jim Boylen to head coach. As some might recall, Boylen was an assistant coach for the Spurs for two seasons, including the 2014 championship.
His first order of business was to instill some toughness into a team that fell from 0.500 and a 2017 playoff appearance to just 27-55 last season and appears destined to be one of the two worst teams in the league this season.
