If the Bulls knocked off Cleveland, this thread probably wouldn't exist today. Sure, the Bulls' GarPax might have forced Thibs out if the Bulls won a championship, however it was hardly "proof" a month ago. The rumors have serious heat now that the Bulls got eliminated, in embarrassing fashion. Without this critical piece of evidence, simple things like MA going back home and Paige going to KU are hardly "proof." TJ coming back (excluding Romar quote) was the only plausible thing to start some smoke.
