CJ Watson

So first Mayweather and now Bulls fans making threats...

PD: So where do you stand with C.J. Watson now?

JH: He put the running shoes on. Floyd was ringing his phone, C.J. even had to change his number. But he is a very nice guy – with a very controlling mother.

Golden and Maymon have very little, if any, chance to play in the NBA.

To suggest such a thing probably means you don't follow the NBA too closely. Neither one of them are going to be good enough to play in the league. Now, Stokes is a different story. He'll be a high draft pick should he do the smart thing and stay here at least three years

I disagree. Golden and maymon both have a shot at the league, both have a lot of work to do though

If they would have ruled that a flagrant foul, the Bulls would have won. He stopped a dunk by pulling him down by grabbing both of his shoulders from behind. Or, if the Bulls would have gotten back to defend just 7 seconds in the full court instead of selling out for the offensive rebound, that might have led to a win. But, the idiots throw it all on the player who got them there for not holding the ball.

Great backup PG. The Bulls were finished as soon as Rose tore his ACL.

I think CJ could be a great starting PG on some teams. The Bulls' best player is the other PG. So, whenever CJ's in, the team's best guy is on the bench. I'd like to see what CJ could do on a team whose best players are at other positions.

I haven't seen a replay of the foul since right after it happened. Did anybody else think it was flagrant? Unless I'm having a case of revisionist memory, Asik was pulled down from behind by his shoulders, yet nobody on TV ever suggested it should have been flagrant. They immediately blamed Watson. The would-be dunk by Asik must have looked wide open to Watson, given that it took a flagrant foul to stop it. It's not like Watson just gave the ball up so someone else would get fouled. He was going for an easy play. It wasn't his best available decision, but it wasn't the bonehead move some people make it out to be.

The contact around the shoulders was incidental. This is almost exactly the same as the McBee flagrant we had a great debate over. If you ask me, it was just a hard foul with incidental contact. Asik got the right call, but Skylar got shafted. I still can't believe how adamant those commentators were for saying McBee's was "textbook flagrant."

Here we go again.

Very simple, mcbee contact was INTENTIONAL. His left had want going for the ball, it was raking the player, nowhere close to the ball. He was reaching for the player, not the ball, it was the correct call.

There's a difference between the definition of flagrant fouls between college and pro. Having said that, I think the one in the bulls game was flagrant. Also if you watch it again, the guy trailing Watson, just shoves Watson in the back with both hands, in disgust, right as the other foul is called. They easily could have given that guy a technical or a foul as well. NBA home cooking at its finest.

I missed the other foul. I was shocked that the commentators didn't even debate on TV whether the foul at the rim was flagrant.

I thought it was too. The guy that got fouled had a WTF look on his face when they didn't call the flagrant. That being said, Watson should have just dribbled the clock out if possible. Even if dude dunks it, the Sixers would have had 7 seconds to get the ball in and take a 3. That's the stuff that's easy to see from your couch but not so much from the floor. I bet he never makes that mistake again.

He also had just thrown an excellent pass for a dunk on the previous trip. I think he should have dribbled too, but if Watson would have missed at the line, which is possible, he would have instead entered the offseason thinking about the dunk he could have set up.

Had they gone up 3, they could have gone with the fouling strategy to prevent a 3.

Hate the Bulls. Glad CJ choked it at the end of the game. And no it was not a flagrant foul. Typical hard playoff foul. Does it make it right? Go Sixers
