DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) -If Vinny Del Negro woke up feeling a little uneasy Thursday, Scott Skiles and Tim Floyd probably would have understood.
After all, Christmas Eve hasn’t been kind to Chicago Bulls coaches.
Skiles got fired two years ago, and Floyd was forced to resign in 2001. But for all the speculation about Del Negro’s future, Scrooge was nowhere in sight this time. Then again, with a 10-17 record, there isn’t much cheer to douse around the Bulls these days.
Not after a rash of blowouts. Not after a loss to the New Jersey Nets. And not after an epic meltdown against Sacramento this week that did nothing to quiet the critics.
Del Negro says he has “to get better” and so does the team.
