IGT: BULLS vs Thunder Friday December 25th @ 1:30pm on ABC

[knoxville7]

i wouldn't he was great all year but he was def improving in recent weeks

you do realize that for the entire SEASON he is rebounding and assisting at a greater rate than his near MVP season a couple years ago, right? oh and he also has the same defensive rating per 100 possessions as he did that year when he won defensive player of the year

the only report I know of about noahs knee being bone on bone came from Cowley who is a moron and seems to love to report anything negative about the bulls. have to take into consideration where the info is coming from. even last year noah was more productive than the average NBA center in the league. the major dropoff was his shooting, and everyone took that to mean the end for him even though shooting was never why he made it into the league in the first place.

big props to you though for being man enough to admit to being wrong about him :snoop:

I have no problem admitting when I'm wrong. Contrary to a lot of other people on this site, I know that I'm not going to be right all the time and being wrong is not only possible, but inevitable. We would save a lot of space and wasted time if people accepted that instead of resorting to straw man arguments and other fallacies. Not naming any names though, of course

I wonder if Fred is planning to up Noah's minutes in the playoffs. I think he could easily play 30-32 MPG in the playoffs and if that's the plan, I could understand the logic of keeping his minutes down in the regular season. I still think he should be closing out games though. No question.

agreed! I just hope the shoulder doesn't impact his shooting negatively(it was his right shoulder if I remember correctly), he was just starting to find his shot around the basket again, would hate for it to derail that again temporarily

Edit - just looked it up and it was the left shoulder....right on cue with the incorrect from time to time thing lol

He was starting to finish better around the basket for sure. I think he'll be fine. Who needs their left shoulder anyways?

If any player on the team does, it's Noah. He probably finishes left more than he finishes right lol.

That is true. It's actually weird when he uses his right in the paint.
