Joakim Noah Hating On Cleveland

[Who]

He and Varejao play very similar games and have a knack to get under people's skin.  

Noah is just much more vocal with the media.  Probably because he speaks much better english.  

I know what Noah is trying to do and I appreciate it.  Getting into the head of the Cavs is the Bulls only chance of winning.

I hate him, but I would love him if he wore the wine and gold

Noah is way more talented. 

Care to explain why?  Their games are very similar.  Weak jump shot.  High energy, good rebounder.  Can finish at the rim.

I agree, the two players are very similar.

They have a comparable impact defensively. Also, comparable impact offensively, although Varejao is the superior offensive player due to his ability and activity off the ball and away away from the rim than Noah (more dynamic). A large difference on the backboards though which swings the comparison firmly in Noah's favour.

Joakim Noah is the superior player by a solid margin but Varejao is close enough, he's in the ball park. Ditto for Al Horford.

I'm not a huge fan of Noah.  It's fine to get under an opponent's skin, but he gets under his coach's and his teammates', as well.

Noah's smarts is what sets him apart.  He's a very intelligent player, great passer and although he has an awkward looking shot, he's a better offensive player than Verajao as well.  He might also be a better rebounder, but I'm not sure about that. He's a clutch player too. This guy has intangibles galore. I know he can be a knucklehead, but I'd love for him to be a Celtic.

Can you imagine working with so much ugly day in and day out?

Absolutely second that

I love Noah's game. He needs to keep his mouth shut though, win a series in the playoffs and then you can yap all you want.

people can criticize him, but he is absolutely right.  i like him.  i like players that arent afraid to be themselves and be honest, instead of answering things the way they think people would want to hear.  i love his game too.  i agree with others in this thread, he would make a great celtic!

I agree he would be great here, but admitting that makes me ill.
