I <3 Joakim!! He's became the heart and soul of the team and if there was an MVP for this series it would be him. There hasn't been a single game where he hasn't produced, I love this kid. I don't think there are many 7'0's that could make that same play and finish like he did in a pressure situation. Unbelievable. Hope he has another huge game 7!

It's crazy how much I used to hate Noah when he was at Florida, and now I love the guy. He's definitely one of those guys you love to have on your team but everyone else seems to hate him.
I'll say this too: Even if it wasn't in the NBA, there's nothing like previous championship (2x) experience to prepare you for a series like this. You really can't underestimate the power of his big game experience when considering how well he's played in his first playoff series against the reigning champs. |

I think that attitude is infectious and is great to have. I agree I hated those championship teams at UF and I was positive that Horford was going to be the only one that made an impact in the league, but Joakim has turned into quite a player. |

Anyone who wants to hear the radio call of Noah's slam by Swirsky, it's at about 1:00 in this ESPN clip.

Solid game again tonight for Noah, despite being misused.

Noah really had a great series. Had double digit rebounds in 6 of the 7 games (avg 12.8/game) while averaging 1.85 blocks/game in just over 34 mpg. If he can put up #'s like that next season, I'll be very happy.

Noah will be an 8 and 10 guy next year if not 10 and 10. All he needs is to add some strength which I'm sure he'll do.

I keep saying...all we need to do is take his weed and hide it around the Bulls weight room under some of the higher level weights on the machine, and tell him that he gets it once he can lift that much. |

I have to say I've been hard on Noah the past two seasons. However, I can't say enough about his effort/play in the Boston Series. NOBODY wanted to win as badly as he did. He played every defensive possession like it was his last.
Jo could be our Center for the next 8 years. I hope Jo is a Bull for his entire career. |

I like it... If the Bulls moved to California, they might be able to get away with doing something like that, lol.
