Overall I have to say Pop has done a masterful job this year and fully deserves the award. He may not have made the moves he needed to make in timely fashion, but in the end they got done and he got his veterans to the playoffs healthy and has kept them healthy (so far, knock on wood). Thibs can't claim the same. And even if Rose was still healthy, I'd say she's still full of something (Amare Stoudemire's dick?).
She's just another two-bit bitter ESPN writer who loves NY and hates small market teams like the spurs and also the fact that she doesn't have the power to hand them a trophy every year.
She's one of those people that we all know who still worship Jordan, and want the Bulls to return to the glory days of yesteryear. Thibbs' record is padded because the Bulls play in the eastern conference. You would think that even a professional analyst could figure that out.

I would say she is a hack, but it would be insulting to all the hacks out there. She says "if this sports thing doesn't work out" she will go to LA to write for The Young And The Restless. I think she's onto something. She has no business reporting sports.
Remember her getting suspended for this gem? "Rooting for the Celtics is like saying Hitler was a victim. It's like hoping Gorbachev would get to the blinking red button before Reagan. Deserving or not, I still hate the Celtics." Then she was suspended again for telling Green Bay fans to give Favre the "Duracell treatment" - as in throw batteries at him. And then later wrote that John Calipari was like Charles Manson?
Making her a national reporter for ESPN was some kind of social experiment that should have been abandoned long ago. She adds nothing to the sports she reports on, and gives no value to the fans. Her only claim to fame is writing outrageously stupid shit to increase hit count. I'm not mad that she said that about Pop - it's what she does. I just don't like her taking a job away from a competent sports writer.
