I like Noah, but I tend to hold players who punch above their weight in a very good light. Like Nate Robinson or Shane Battier

Noah's a pretty good player, but she's still a bitch.

I am sorry, but Noah is not a top center in the league.

There really are not that many good centers in the NBA. And the comparison to Varejeo is off, because Noah is much better.

Noah is a PF with no outside shot trying to play C.

And the douchebag still runs his mouth in the post game conference.
Dude, shut up you're down 0-2.

Did Shaq give Noah a shot to the grill? I saw it on Rizzos Twitter, but wasn't able to watch the game.
Another gem from Twitter......."add winning as one more thing Noah can't do in Cleveland."

Completely agree. 25 and 13 tonight? Solid.thedynasty1998 wrote: I used to hate him in college, but I have to be honest, I actually respect his game. I never thought he'd be half the NBA player that he is now.

Its solid, but he isn't the focus of the Cavaliers defense.
Top PF's and C's in the league demand the focus of opponents.
If Cleveland plays defense on Noah like Chicago "tries" on LeBron he wouldn't reach double figures. He wouldn't get half the rebounds either.

Oh please. I watched the same game you did, I didn't see a player that impressed me any more than he had before. We got caught up chasing Rose and our defense was awful for 3 quarters. If no one put a body on me I could score too.

And did anyone see his press conference after the game? What a tool.

Joakim Noah...not sure I know who this is. Wait - isn't he the older brother of that kid that went pretty far in American Idol that one year? And his dad played tennis...c'mon now.
Noah reminds me of AV from a hustle standpoint, but I'd take Noah's offensive game over AV's any day. Now, I like AV more because one, he keeps his mouth shut, and two, AV plays some serious defense. I will say this, I think the Bulls are sitting at home watching the playoffs minus Noah.

When asked if he regretted any of his comments about Cleveland, he said, "No. What, you guys like it? I've never heard anyone say they were going to Cleveland on vacation. What's so great about Cleveland?"

Noah played well tonight. He's not the smartest guy to be running his mouth while his team is down 0-2. But it's not his fault. He played out of his mInd tonight.

OK Cavs fans let's get some perspective here......if Noah played for the Wine and Gold would you like him as a member of the team? Do you hate him because he plays for a competitive team? Or do you just hate him regardless of the team he plays for?
BTW I would hate his French crybaby ass regardless of what uniform he put on.

I dislike him because he continually runs his mouth. He could have easily dropped the subject and focused on winning games, but he continues to talk shit even while losing games.

So you are saying he is a distraction to winning games for the team? Should the coaching staff and/or ownership reel that in so he doesn't hurt his team? Would that happen if he played in C-town?devil1197 wrote: I dislike him because he continually runs his mouth.

Just a honest question for the people on here. What is so bad about trash talking? That is what 95 percent of NBA players did growing up on the playgrounds. The only people that seem to care about it are fans. Unless it becomes real personal like talking about someone family, etc, then I don't mind trash talking at all.
