Holy city of wind news Batman! I honestly didn’t want to do another Chicago Bulls post today, but how can I not bring you up to date on Paxson vs. Del Negro.
After a loss to the Phoenix Suns on March 30, an irate Paxson walked into the coach’s office at the United Center and confronted Del Negro over a narrow breach of a management-imposed minutes limit on injured forward Joakim Noah.
Sources said Paxson first grabbed a hold of Del Negro’s tie and seemingly tried to provoke him with two successive jabs into his chest. Paxson was even heard to angrily challenge Del Negro to a fight.
Now that’s playoff intensity dang it! Assistant coach Bernie Bickerstaff spoiled the awesomeness by breaking up the potential fight.
But for the record, I think Vinny would’ve totally creamed Pax, but Paxson woulda put up one helluva fight going down. You always gotta watch out for the quiet ones.
