The get c.j. Watson out of our 2nd string thread

[houheffna]

Again. Gotta disagree.

Being down by 8 to a D'Antoni team is like being down by 4 to a Popovich team.

What the Knicks did happened only like 5 times in the last 30 years! It was a fluke game, and Thibodeau recognized it.

And with those reserves in, the Knicks actually slowed down, they were over 70 percent from 3pt. I applaud Coach T for what he did.

I really don't like CJ Watson coming off the bench for Rose. Since Rose is such an offensive point guard, I would like to see a hard nosed defender who looks to pass first to add some diversity to the position.

My philosophy is that you play your best players in the final minutes, when the game is within reach.

Your's is different. I respect that, but we aren't going to agree.

i like a pg who can create his own offense. it would be nice to get a pass first pg, but at the same time, there's not too many options out there at pg available. i mean how do you want out of what's left? what are you willing to trade for? Let's be realistic cj for what he's getting paid is a pretty good deal. I mean it's not as awesome as pargo, but hey, whatever.

 

[WindyCity7]

Totally off topic but cj s been gettin down lately.................... In 2k11

 

[WindyCity7]

cj is garbage

 

[pinkizdead]

Cj isn't total crap. there's going to be a huge drop off from derrick rose to cj watson. it makes him look worse. If the other players on teh bench were able to get some of their offense, the fact that cj was a scoring pg wouldn't look so bad. I'd rather have cj at 3 than kirk(kurt) at 9.

plus how many minutes do you want your backup pg playing? 10-15? cj isn't killing us. Bogans playing more than 5 minutes a game is killing us. I'm just thankful that Scal didn't play significant minutes. i hate that guy.

almost any pg backing up rose is gonna look like crap. but when cj comes in the bulls flow just goes away, the offense looks lost out there. the thing is, cj isnt really a pg, he is more of a sg. sg trapped in a pg's body.

 

[pinkizdead]

i agree wholeheartedly. He's had some decent games as of late. he's been distributing more. If he continues to play decently, i don't think he'll be too turrible. Bogans is just killing us out there with his offense. If the guy is going to take 1 shot a night, put him on the bench and start some1 else.

yeah this game he was meh, but his previous games have been better. hopefully he can keep improving because we are going to need him.

Watson

Bench went 3-18 with 10 pts tonight.. Watson is killin us!! Bet we wish we hadn't traded Heinrich now!! He would have made this second team look a lot better.. we gotta figure something out because when Boozer comes back Taj goes to the second unit and someone has to get him the ball..

 

[JCM]

welcome the forum. introduce yourself in the roll call thread!

 

[jloya124]

Watson is just an average point guard at best. For the Bulls, he's never going to be super or even an awesome backup. Let's give him a little more time to try and prove himself, then I'll jump on the bandwagon to get rid of him lol

 

[JCM]

hey another new member!

 

[jloya124]

I did introduce myself just now in the roll call thread. Glad to be able to voice my opinion on here about the Bulls!

I'm not sure what Bulls team the people who are anti-Watson have been watching.

The Bulls star player is Rose. That means he's going to be playing most of the game and aside from blowouts there's going to be maybe 8-10 minutes a night where his back up is going to play. For that short amount of time all you want someone who doesn't lose you the game, and someone who does it cheaply so you can spend your money on positions of greater need.

Watson is doing that. His individual stats aren't good right now, but I don't care. His shooting will probably come around, but even if it doesn't, we're not being killed while he's out there. Teams aren't going on runs against us while Rose rests. That's all you want from the backup PG on this team.

I don't think Watson is a stud, but he's not the bum that most people make him out to be.

I also don't think Bogans is a turd, he's just not a starter for a team with limited offensive weapons.

Bulls weak point is SG and probably will be for some time. Unless we can package up Korver, Bogans, and Watson for some quality starting SG, dont see us getting anything until the offseason if there's still an MLE (Probably wont even be a season next year...)

The Bulls Have Issues in the Third Quarter...I think you Guys are straight with the players u have a good squad (IT WOULDNT HURT TO HAVE A BETTER SG though) the team chemistry is were it needs to be and wit Boozer back,it will take the load of Drose. Bogans is a ok SG and Deng is top 10 SF's u jus gotta think about the energy it takes to guard Kobe.That could wear on ur offensive Game.Taj Gibson off the bench wit kover,brewer,James Johnson and Omer Asik is a good bench.I also like Watson,I see the bulls winning the Eastern Conference Finals
