They aren't going to call that in that situation, but why Asik?

Thats about as obvious a flagrant 1 as there is. If you it's in the rule book you have to call it

The foul not being called on Watson was a good thing, it should have let him dribble another 4-5 seconds before they could foul him.

 

He just did the dumbest thing, gave the ball to Asik in a situation where the other team wants to foul.

 

f*** you Watson, f*** you.

He could have dribbled for like 2-3 more seconds had he just pulled up. Ugh.

Did anyone else go from thinking there was no way we were gonna lose the game to immediately thinking theres no way we were gonna win the game the second Watson made that pass to Asik?

When Asik went to the line, I was hoping for 1 out of 2 and overtime. He made 4 FT tonight. He was due to be way off. I don't understand how someone can play basketball everyday and can't make more than half their free throws.

This wasnt about the refs, this was about 2 people who are stupid.

 

1) CJ Watson, you never give the ball to Asik in that game, unless he is wide open under the basket and even then you want to dribble the f***ing clock out, you know the play you ran every other f***ing possession.

 

2) Thibs. Why were the Bulls crashing the rebound when they are up 1, what are you thinking? Why did you let the 76ers roll the ball up the court, which is about 3 free seconds the possession before. That is the game right there Thibs and simply using your brain would have changed the outcome.

 

What a joke, nonsense.

I don't know how you let a guy go the length of the floor in 4.8 seconds in that situation. If they didn't call a foul, it was an easy tip in anyway.

 

The best player on the floor gets to run the entire length of the floor. No one stopped him. What a lapse. They deserved to go home after that.

That's just it. Anyone's fouled its 2 shots. You know Asik is going to get raped there and will go to the line. It was a poor decision. Another poor decision was Asik throwing the ball in with 2.2 seconds left and not throwing it down court the only way they had a chance.

That was college basketball at it's worst. Hard to believe these guys are pros as badly as they played (both teams).

 

When I hear people talk about how bad the game is in the NCAA's, they need to be forced to watch tape of this playoff series.

Kendall letting CJ Watson have it. Says the Bulls need a new back up point guard. Said he was afraid of going to the line at the end of the game.

 

Jordan Taylor!

 

Thats who I want the Bulls to draft in the 2nd.

It took the Bulls making 2 massive mistakes that should never be made to lose that game.

 

I hope someone holds Thibs accountable for this mess, because it wasnt Rose or Noah being out, that lost some of these games.

You are kidding that Rose and Noah not playing isn't the reason the Bulls lost games.

Even if CJ missed both fts, the Bulls would have been in a drastically better defensive position as Asik would have been on the block so Deng doesnt end up under the basket with Taj, unable to guard on the play. If you watch Hawes, he basically blocks out to keep them from being able to run down the court.

 

Anger rising.

CSN said CJ had the best FT percentage of the Bulls on the floor. Kendall said he was scared. And not only that, if he dribbled away from the basket, a couple more seconds might have come off the clock.

With Noah and Rose they win easy, thats not the point.

 

The point is Thibs had the talent to win this series and just watched meltdown after meltdown.

 

If the Bulls want to beat a team like the Heat, Thibs cant make these mistakes. Thats just the unfortunate truth, and Im not satisfied being 2nd place.

This series was close with the Bulls two best players out, and you don't think that is why they lost? Replace Rose with Watson for even five minutes of each of these games, and this series is completely different.

Thats not the point Im making.

 

The Bulls should have won this series without Rose and Noah. They were up 15 in a game, they were up 11 game in a game and lost both. They were up tonight and lost again.

 

Sure they didnt have Rose or Noah, but this was a 1 v 8. When the Bulls play the Heat, they wont have the advantage of dramatically more talent. Mistakes like these will crush.

 

Its just a bad harbinger, because they could have won this series.

I think if they had Noah healthy the entire series, the Bulls would have won in 5. With both, its a sweep.

They also won't have Watson and Asik on the floor in those situations.

I feel let down by the coaching. How can the same mistake be made over and over and over? Do it junior high style and tell them they have to make x amount of passes before shooting if you have to.

 

But CJ is probably at the top of my to blame list...I just wish the coaching didn't allow a backup player to cost us SO much.
