Was I not clear about Noah? He hasn't played well since the playoff series last year, so last year doesn't mean shit. That's history, time to focus ln the present. He's been awful for whatever reason, and the Bulls need less of him and Gasol getting murdered in the paint and no one fighting on the offensive glass. Assists from Noah don't mean shit right now. It looks cool to fans, but I'll take my assists from Rose, Brooks and Gasol who is actually a scoring threat from the outside. Let Noah grab some rebounds and play some damn defense for a change. He can still pass from the post.
I get it. I really do. You hate Noah. I chuckle when I read stuff like: "He's been awful for "whatever reason"." And there is the ever-so humorous "The Bulls need less of him"???? What the hell are you talking about? They need absolutely MORE OF HIM. They need MORE of a Defensive Player of the Year, a 1st team all-NBA, thei best passing big man in the league,etc. There is a reason why Noah's production has been greatly down this entire year. ONE REASON and ONE REASON only. He's still getting back into basketball shape from a significant surgery. You try to make it appear that all of a sudden he became a wasted asset for other reasons.
