Jazz at Bulls 7:00 CST

[Archie Moses]

I understand the league wants to protect players, especially when it comes to getting hit in the head - but that was the weakest flagrant foul call I've ever seen.

And yes, he was clearly going for the ball.

I have no problem protecting players heads and calling flagrants when they're deserved. I do, however, have a problem when every hit to the head is an absolute flagrant. People are making this harder than it should be, it's not that hard to see (especially with replay) if a hit to the head is deserving a flagrant.

The rule is the rule, I just think it's weak af just like I think 50% of targeting calls in football are. When you play a physical sport sometimes your head can get hit.

God I have so many arguments with the same dude at work about Rudy. He thinks guys like Jonas valencunius and DeAndre Drummond are better than him.
It seriously pisses me off to the point that if we weren't at work I would probably fight him over it.

Drummond is pretty damn good tbf.

LaVine reminds me a lot of Westbrook. Both super athletic and erratic. Can get hot at times but generally take a ton of shots and score a ton of points on bad efficiency. Both not the best shooters but can score. You can’t and won’t win with that type of player as your best player.

I agree that he takes bad shots and is erratic but he isn't all that inefficient. Not super efficient either but last season he was 47% from the field, 37% from three and 83% from the line on 6 attempts.
This year his overall field goal percentage is down so far (42%) but his three point shooting is up (39%) and his free throw percentage is about the exact same.

I bet he would be more efficient if he was getting the looks that a guy like Clarkson gets on the jazz team with the jazz system.

Ever since you saw the female picture of Archie, you’ve been wanting a piece of the action.

Bulls look like they are cohesive, play smart and aggressive, have great body language, play team ball and have an identity. Just need some talent and they will be contending.

I know people expected the Jazz to blow them out, but it is actually a good road win against an improving young team.

Interesting way to celebrate with Mitchell at 1:15? He and Rudy have some different kind of chemistry going on. It's healthy right?

I always wonder about that too.
I don't know what to think about it

He wasn't punched. He lost a contact. I've lost contacts dozen of times playing ball and never thought I was flagrant fouled.

Weak call.

Your comment has nothing to do with my comment.
My comment was saying that getting hit in the arm is different than getting hit in the head.

Your comment also had nothing to do with the other posters comment you quoted
His was about players that would intentionally hurt players and make it look unintentional. (I touched on this also)

It was his inner forearm. Watch at 4:17.

My you didn't read my full comment. Doesn't matter. Blow to the head. Nuff said.

Don't tell me it's Derek. Please don't tell me it's Derek.

It's derek.

And I wouldn't actually fight him since I like him (went to a game with him last year and had a great time actually) but his thoughts on gobert are the worst and I would want to fight someone who I didn't know if they were saying the crap he says.

He is like "of course has a good field goal percentage, he only dunks.". "Of course he gets rebounds and blocks and plays good D, he is 7 feet tall". "He can't catch the ball, can't shoot, can't dribble, has no coordination, etc"

But maybe there is hope for him. I had a conversation with him right after Trump was elected and he was super happy about Trump being president cause Trump was going to go after wealth inequality and the rich help the middle class and was going to drain the swamp and get rid of corruption.
I told him no one loves money and rich people more than Trump and trump was corrupt before getting elected. Do you think suddenly he is going to be a different person now that he has more power?

Will just this morning he was saying he wants Bernie to be the president. Freaking Trumper wanting Bernie to beat trump? That shows he can change lol

I didn't mean to quote the other guy's comment.

You compared UFC punching to the head or the arm as being different. Obviously. So I responded he wasn't punched. He wasn't.

Yes, the head should be protected. It's a physical sport and the guy made a play on the ball and Rudy lost a contact. It wasn't that bad, man.

You compared getting hit in the arm to getting hit in the head. Those are two different things.

Why did the refs call the flagrant last night? Do you think they would call the flagrant for the similar hit to the arm? Of course not. Two very different body parts.
You are better than that.

And like I said in my first post on this topic. I agree with you that dude was going for the ball. But he could also make it look like he was going for the ball and actually intentionally go for the head and try to hurt a guy and the refs not know. Therefore the rule should be that hard hits to the head, whether intentional or unintentional, are flagrant. Otherwise there is a slippery slope when trying to determine intent.

I have no problem when a player gets all head and no ball getting a flagrant. You have to protect the guy when he's elevated. They can come down awkward. No need for a hack to take out a player. The play then becomes a risk/reward moment for the defender.
