I really didn't notice a lot of hate for Noah coming around. I think he has proven himself enough to buy him forgiveness time for bad performances. Plus his minutes have been limited with his ankle. People forget that he was at one point, going to be ruled out for the season to give him a chance to rest.

Booz on the other hand, his lack of toughness after his injury did raise eyebrows when a lot of Bulls specific fans weren't fully aware of his injury history and recoveries.

Noah's obviously still injured in some way...DO anyone honestly think a guy who has worked so hard the past few seasons, and a guy who was nearly leading the league in rebounding before his injury suddenly has stopped trying? No. I find that hard to believe. The Bulls should honestly shut down Noah the rest of the week because he is clearly still injured. That way, he has rested up for Saturday and can bring that playoff intensity.

Who's turning on Noah? When did this happen. This time I didn't even have to read his article to see how bad it was.

I think they should rest Noah the last 2 games and at least the first 3 games of the Pacers series. Longer if the Bulls start out 3-0. Let him heal. Asik and Thomas combined can make up a lot of what we lose without Noah. Gradually increase his minutes in the 2nd round, (if he's healed by then) so he will be in game shape for the EC finals.
