So do I

and it’s true on top of that.

Joakim on whether he ever tried tennis: "I played a little bit. If anybody on the Bulls wanted to play me, I would kick their ass."

Also, this was the whole line:
“What is so cool about Cleveland? I’ve never heard someone say I’m going to Cleveland on vacation.”

Or until he eventually starts to suck and everyone hates him again.

But enjoy it while it lasts because this is great.

I can't bring myself to hate a guy that plays with heart

That’s why I loved chapu’s game… until Skiles broke his will

by JustAnotherFan on Apr 22, 2010 8:21 AM CDT up reply actions  

Why would he start to suck?

He’s an athletic 7 footer, with a strong work ethic and intelligent. Unless he gets hurt, he won’t suck until he’s old.

He's ultimately just setting it all up for when they lose the series

Cavs can beat us all they want but no matter what they do in the postseason, Cleveland will always suck

If the Bulls don’t make the playoffs I won’t need to watch basketball, its on to basketball.

At least we know Joakim will never leave as a free agent

to go to Cleveland.

Though he’s not helping in the Lebron recruitment effort by trashing his hometown.

I’ve long accepted that Lebron’s not coming here, though, so i’m not worried about that.

Vinny: "[Thrust] means pace, it means getting the ball out, it means getting your back to the sidelines, it means extending your outlets, it means getting the ball up the court into our early offense with plenty of time."

Lebron knows Cleveland sucks though

by Camry on Apr 20, 2010 7:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

Lebron's from Akron

I think he’s said he’s from Akron, not Cleveland several times. Even wore a Yankee hat to a Yanks/Indians playoff game.

Yea prince jame is fro Akron

But i Love the FACT that Noah isnt afraid to speak his mind, great shit, i wish rose was a little like thiss

by Blog-a-bullshiter9 on Apr 20, 2010 9:48 AM CDT up reply actions  

I think Noah is far too cultured to go anywhere that isn't a big city like the Chi, NYC, or LA. He grew up in France

and New York. He would be really out of place in a shitty town like Milwaukee.

Kirk Hinrich sucks. The end.

by fundamentallysound on Apr 20, 2010 10:58 AM CDT up reply actions  

Milwaukee is hardly a place you'd call "shitty."

It’s not the zenith of high culture, but you could do a lot worse than a nice city by the lake, and only an hour away from Chicago.

by Ozzie Montana on Apr 20, 2010 12:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

you know

it’s a very livable city. Has original theater productions, and pretty good orchestra, tons of very good restaurants (Wisconsin has lots and lots of better than average restaurants people can afford), and great brew pubs. What more could a 25 year old want?

Meh.

If I’m going to Wisconsin on a vacation, I’m going to Madison, as that’s about the only fun spot in the state. I’ve been to Madison a couple of times and it’s been a blast, especially on Halloween.

 I went to High School in Milwaukee and outside of sneaking into the UWM campus here and there I was pretty bored.

Metal sharpens metal.

True, but LA can burn in hell for all I care. Give me SF in that equation.

And the whole country is fat, that’s not exactly reason to move out of a city.

I lived in Milwaukee for a year

And it was quiet as hell there. Like a ghost town. But it is liveable

by T.Moore on Apr 20, 2010 1:30 PM CDT up reply actions  

Milwaukee is pretty culturally devoid. It’s like a ghost town even on a weekend during the day. It’s nice and clean but seems to be boring as hell.

by C Smoove on Apr 20, 2010 6:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'ts not hurting him..

You think people who live in Cleveland or Detroit, don’t know that Cleveland and Detroit blows? LeBron has spent quite a bit of time in Cleveland at this point, he knows it’s awful.

by Dils on Apr 20, 2010 12:41 PM CDT reply actions  

he can talk all he wants…and he should, if it helps him to feed off of ‘hate.’
He definitely he should be great from now on out, he is pretty much the most hated (oops sorry, ‘honest’ and and ‘energetic’ in chicago) player in the league.

Joey Porter did it, and it helped him. Best thing for fans in cleveland to do would have been to just ignore it, treat him like any other player, because he uses it as a tool to inspire himself, and it showed yesterday. Everyone knows he’s an immature punk (but not stupid by any means), who’s game doesn’t even remotely compare to his mouth, but obviously is able to raise his game immeasurably through his emotions, cleveland fans played right into his fans

It would seem to me, that you feel threatened by the Eric Ghiaciuc acquisition.

Most hated player?

I think the Boston starting 5 is way above Noah on that list.

by diedaily23 on Apr 20, 2010 2:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

It would be fun to have the most hated player in the league on my favorite team.

Alas, Noah’s got a long road ahead of him to attain legendary hater’s ball status.

He's probably the most hated player in Cleveland

Alas, Cleveland isn’t the entire United States. Noah, as others said, has a way to go to be the most hated player. Kevin Garnett isn’t exactly likable anymore [and I was a fan of him all throughout the championship season too … and like a year after that … but … ugh, he’s just devolved].

Also, Noah’s good. He’s probably like the 5th-ish best C in the league, and getting better. I don’t know if he’s an immature punk as much as just honest with his opinions. So sometimes he says controversial things. Oh well?
Noah is AWESOME. Like, Noah was one of my favorite players coming out of the draft, and I am immeasurably happy he’s on the Bulls. I’d probably be a fan if he was on any other team … but I’m happy he’s on the Bulls.

This second ‘round’ of comments though, since he’s heading back to chi-town and most likely won’t be back, simply smacks of butthurt.

by johnnyphoenix on Apr 20, 2010 2:16 PM CDT reply actions  

…still, you gotta like the bad blood in these playoffs series a la Heat/Celtics Cavs/Bulls, although I would Noah rather trash talk the cavs players individually or call them out as a team more rather than the city stuff. I’m sure most of the Cavs players don’t really care about that, doesn’t concern them, and none of ‘em are from cleveland anyways so why should they care… Most NBA players aren’t like back in the day where players associated with their cities more often…they’re more individualistic today in a lot of ways.

If he kept calling them out as a team then there would be much, much more bad blood on the court, which would be cool. Right now I’m sure don’t think they like each other much, but nothing like what it could be if things got ugly between players in the media and on the court. I mean, fans booing a player isn’t really a big deal.

yeah i'm sure they are

giving him a chance to follow up – or as david aldridge said on tnt “apologize” (for which i saw no need, honestly).

kinda like with his comments re: KG… i’m sure he was asked about it and gave his honest opinion, and it’s being portrayed like he just came out with it.
