Would you trade Noah for Paul Pierce?
2012-01-19 16:12:00 Disclaimer: This has absolutely nothing to do with Jo’s early season struggles- I have no doubt that he’ll turn it around once he gets into game shape. If there’s anyone in the NBA who needs to be in top shape to play his game effectively, it’s Noah. And no, I haven’t joined the Sam Smith... Read more »
Mr & Mrs Noah
2011-11-18 20:49:00 Before my blog become dusty with cob webs, I guess I should write something. As the children grow older, there are less and less things to blog about. It started early Oct, when my children Sunday School class was preparing to do a performance at Prize Giving Day. My children came home with a script. I ...

Joakim Noah to play for Team France
2011-07-12 09:54:00 Joakim Noah is taking his talents to France. No, not to play professional basketball overseas if the NBA lockout extends to the fall — as Utah’s Deron Williams plans to do. Instead, he will represent the French by playing for Team France. According to ESPNChicago’s Nick Friedell: “Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah is scheduled to...
Monta Ellis is not worth Deng or Noah
2011-06-06 14:00:00 I've seen several trade thread ideas where Monta Ellis ends up with the Bulls, there's Aggrey Sam's column suggesting we send out Joakim Noah, or there's this the Golden State Sam Smith suggesting we send out Luol Deng for him.Both these ideas are horrifically stupid....
What happens tonight to the drunk who ragged on Joakim Noah?
2011-05-25 00:00:00 Noah picked the wrong slur Now that everyone has exhausted (I hope) all the handwringing over Joakim Noah's slur, we have yet to see what will happen to that jerk of a Miami Heat fan who set off the episode. Reports indicate that the insufferable, drunken fan had been on Noah for much of the game with a lot of loud, vulgar insults. Will there be a repeat performance tonight? Will anyone suggest that he shut up? Or has subjecting everyone to your potty mouth now become a part of our culture, if not a right, not to be challenged. Commentators from all corners tsk tsked Noah and suggested that a fan has a right to sit there, spewing...
Noah Fined For Anti-Gay Slur -- Should Anti-Gay Slurs Really Be NBA's
2011-05-24 18:26:00 Recently the NBA, in partnering with GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network), debuted its newest public service announcement, this time dealing with the use of anti-gay slurs. The PSA, featuring Grant Hill and Jared Dudley of the Phoenix Suns, urges viewers to "Think B4 You Speak", and features a group of young men and women giving the vocal buzzer to a trash-talking ballplayer who utters the phrase "I can do this all day. Your moves are just gay". As you're likely aware of, Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah was fined yesterday by the NBA for uttering an anti-gay slur towards a heckling fan in Miami. Noah was fined $50,000 for the incident, which had such great timing it seems...
What Should Have Joakim Noah Said to that Miami Heat Fan?
2011-05-24 07:06:00 What Should Have Joakim Noah Said to that Miami Heat Fan? (Fan Poll!)
Joakim Noah fined 50k for directing an anti-gay slur towards a fan
2011-05-24 00:17:00 So Joakim called a drunk fan a f*ggot. He was fined 50k for it. I think the fact that the NBA was perpetually running ads during the game to not call people 'gay' probably contributed to the hefty fine.I can't say I'm entrenched in the gay community enough to know how this type of thing affects the community. Does it breed a negative attitude towards gays? I grew up in an era where the term 'gay' was just a universal word for something that sucks. I probably used the word 10,000 times before having any concept of what it meant (granted, I never used the term f*ggot with any regularity and certainly not after knowing what it meant).After understanding what...

Thibodeau: Boozer better without Noah a myth
2011-04-04 06:36:00 Thibs isn't buying it.It is the theory that Carlos Boozer is more productive without Joakim Noah in the line-up.The Bulls coach says he attributes the improved play of late from Boozer to improved health, and a concentrated effort to get the ball in the post. That is something Thibodeau was asking for this week."That's myth," Thibodeau said. "When you study the statistics, (Boozer's production) is very similar. I think a big plus for us is the versatility of all our big guys. They all complement each other well.""It's a compilation of things and I think a big part is he's feeling a lot better," Thibodeau said. "So he's running the floor, he's getting some baskets in transition. He's getting a...

Shots fired! Paxson says Del Negro never owned up to mistake with Noah
2011-03-08 22:19:00 Per the Sun Times: "It never should have happened, and I never should have done it," Paxson said Monday. "It was a heat-of-the-moment thing, and I was very frustrated with the way we were playing."What also disappointed me is that [Del Negro] never owned up to making a mistake. That says more about him than it does me. I was trying to protect my player [Noah, who was coming back from injuries], I did it in the wrong way and I'm not proud of that."But if choking and jabbing Del Negro was the price Paxson had to pay to hire rookie coach Tom Thibodeau, then the Bulls appear better for the "mistake." "Tom came in with a positive plan and...
Derrick Rose's No-Look, Through the Legs Pass to Joakim Noah For the J
2011-03-01 14:36:00 Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls coasted to a 105-77, blowout win over the Washington Wizards last night. Rose finished with 21 points and 9 assists, one of them being NBA's "Assist of the Night". It was this amazing pass to Joakim Noah for the dunk. h/t: Sharapova's Thigh...
Oh, Noah!
2011-02-24 05:26:00 He controlled the opening tip. He got the Bulls' first rebound. (He also had the Bulls' first turnover, but who's counting?)He got the Bulls' second rebound. Then the third and fourth--and six more before he went to the bench in the first quarter.Yes, Joakim Noah was back.After sitting 30 games due to surgery on a ligament in his right thumb, Noah was in the Bulls starting lineup Thursday night. And it was like he never left.Noah was his usual ball of energy, patrolling the boards, tipping the ball, running the floor and dropping in easy baskets as the Bulls returned to action after the All-Star break in Toronto.In the end, though, even Noah couldn't save the Bulls. All-Star Derrick Rose...

How would the Bulls have fared with a healthy Noah? Let's experiment.
2011-02-23 05:01:00 Joakim Noah/Getty Images File PhotoIt's appropriate that Joakim Noah looks somewhat like a mad scientist with his wild hair and mischievous grin--because he's part of an experiment RedEye has conducted.How badly did the Bulls miss him?Yes, we know there are other factors involved besides points and the fact that players don't always play to their averages, but if Noah hadn't missed 30 games to injury, the Bulls could potentially have compiled the best record in the NBA. "If" being the key word in that admittedly long sentence.We approached the Noah question like a science project, and here's how it turned out.QUESTIONHow did the loss of Joakim Noah affect the Bulls' bottom line: their record?HYPOTHESISThe Bulls would not have lost many of...

Boozer helps Bulls crush Raptors in Noah's last game before surgery
2010-12-16 14:42:00 Carlos Boozer simply dominated the Raptors all night long. What little chance the Raptors had disappeared when we found out Andrea Bargnani wasn't going to play. The Raptors had no threat to space the floor, and no size to deal with Carlos Boozer. It wouldn't have made a difference had he played, the Bulls fought off boredom for most of the game, and while the 19 point win against the Pacers was closer than the score, this 17 point win against the Raptors wasn't nearly as close as the score....

Bulls Center Joakim Noah to Undergo Thumb Surgery, Miss up to 10 Weeks
2010-12-16 04:29:00 Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah has bravely battled plantar fascitis last season. Playing through the pain, he blossomed into one of the best youne rebounders in the NBA, and a double-double machine. His 2010-11 season will be much like his '09-10, in that Noah will be battling a nagging injury through it. He could be gone for up to 10 weeks. It was announced tonight that he will have surgery to repair a torn ulna collateral ligament in his right thumb. The surgery will be performed tomorrow morning by Dr. Mark Cohen and Dr. John Fernandez of Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush University Medical Center.

The Bulls' starting center could be sidelined for up to 10 weeks. Noah played with the injury Wednesday night against the Raptors after team physicians determined he could do no further damage to the injury. ............ There is still a small chance the surgery could be delayed. But at this point, the Bulls are scheduled to announce the surgery on...
Give the Bulls, Noah a hand--please
2010-12-16 02:07:00 Something struck me today as I read about Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose and surgery and missing 10 weeks and tendons and ligaments. The Bulls have a hard time keeping their hands safe. First, Carlos Boozer trips over a gym bag and misses a couple of months. Never mind the questions about how it happened. The fact is, it happened. Period. Next, although we didn't know it at the time, Joakim Noah injures the tendons and knuckles in his right hand. The team officially termed it a sprained right thumb Wednesday, but his problems began a few weeks ago. Now, we hear he is having surgery and could be out up to 10 weeks, according to the Tribune. Damn. Maybe he...

Noah, Bulls Not At 48-Mins
2010-11-29 04:31:00 Joakim Noah has been putting in work on the floor of late, "doing it big" as he would say. The improved Center is firmly at 16PPG, 13RPG and 2BPG on the season. An All-Star qualifier you say? Although impressive, Noah still has the urge to express he and the Chicago Bulls could do better over the course of a full game. "We're not a 48-minute team," Joakim Noah said. "We have to improve on a lot of things." While true, don't be remiss by not applauding his honesty, because without him this team would be lacking leadership -- albeit temporal -- a presence in the middle, and most of all one-less exciting watch. And even though his Bulls' record refers...
Joakim Noah, Derrick Rose Finds Energy Late Over Suns
2010-11-25 06:40:00 Tonight's near loss was similar in most ways to last night's obvious loss, in that Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose had no answers for players whom at one time were on the Bulls' depth chart behind them: LAL, Nov 23: Shannon Brown -- 21 points in 28 minutes PHX, Nov 24: Hakim Warrick -- 23 points in 36 mintues The game didn't favor Bulls until the later parts of the fourth quarter, stalling most stretches due to Derrick Rose's foul trouble and players such as Kyle Korver, Luol Deng and Ronnie Brewer opting not to be found during times where there was an obvious need for someone to takeover. However, a stellar pairing of Rose and Noah late got Bulls...
