The best thing for this Bulls team IMO is that Gordon leaves, and they get an experienced coach to mentor Rose, Thomas and Noah. Seems like they have a great young core of players, but some of Vinny's decisions in this series were just bizarre. How many minutes did Lindsay Hunter play again?

The best thing for the Bulls will be if they learn from the mistakes of a couple of years ago. Good young team coming off a playoff sweep against the defending champs (Heat) and a 4-2 series lost against the Pistons. All of a sudden, they are trying to trade half the team for Kobe, guys were turning down contracts etc. Hopefully they build on this performance.
