Wed: Chicago @ Atlanta

Got home from church and saw the 2nd half. What's there to say? The Bulls mailed it in (except for James Johnson, who played great but I thought shoulda gotten a flagrant called on him for the hard foul on Crawford).

I don't think that was remotely close to flagrant, it actually was almost a good block but he got his arm a bit. Very sensitive we have become and it's disgusting to me but yeah i grew up watching the game back in the Piston Bad Boy era/Knicks thug gang they had in the early mid 90's.

The Bulls looked like they didn't give two **** about that game, i think something is really foul going on in that locker room. Even though it's the last half of the back to back an the Hawks were rested up, the effort looked embarrassing even from a Hawks fan perspective. They weren't going to in anyway but they were out of that game by Mid 2nd quarter. You could tell.

He got his arm all right ... AND put Crawford's shoulder under his armpit. Then Johnson followed through to the ground, followed by Crawford only able to lie there.

Doing that in a tight game is one thing; doing it in a 30 point blowout is another. I'll add that Crawford wasn't trying for a crowd-inciting dunk, just the "and one."

Well...this was the 1st game of the year that had no suspense what so ever unless you were betting on it. The Bulls had a classic "mail one in right before the coach get's fired" type of game.

Time to watch the John Wall show vs UConn now...

+1 - At least this was better than our effort against the toronto. It also worked out to be the pre-game so we could watch our future sg in action.
Your off to good start - it should make for an interesting second round in the playoffs. good luck!

True, the foul was unwarranted at that point in the game. But that doesn't make it a flagrant. I was a little upset about that one, he fouled him HARD. But while it was the wrong time for a foul like that, it wasn't flagrant imo.

Forgot this was on ESPN. Prepare for the stupid "Joe Johnson is the most underrated superstar in this league" remarks.

Here's a good drinking game, take a shot every time some moron refers to us as "young" and/or "athletic."

They say both of those atleast twice a game. I love listenign to people call games on teams they have no idea bout!
