Thibodeau doesn't pay attention to rumors

A day after the Bulls won the opener of their Eastern Conference semifinal series, another national story emerged about the troubled relationship between coach Tom Thibodeau and the front office.

‘‘Nope,’’ Thibodeau, whose contract runs through the 2016-17 season, said when he was asked if the report was bothersome. ‘‘I don’t pay any attention to it. It’s all noise.’’
