Joakim Noah Triple Double (23 21 11)

[Fafnir]

Is .457 from the field really that efficient for a center that doesn't really shoot jump shots?

He's a .500 career shooter.

He's also been dealing with plantar fasciitis this season.

Plus they've had him take on a bigger role as an offensive facilitator. He seems to be touching the ball further from the hoop more this year.

Which has resulted into him pulling a Sabonis and averaging 4 assists per game this season.

I find it hard not to like the guy. He's clearly not a two-way player the way Garnett is, but he'll scrap enough on offense to be relevant, and the defensive/rebounding impact can't be ignored.

Yeah, He can facilitate well too. He averages 4 to 6 assist compared to Chandlers 1. He's a better shot blocker than Tyson as well.

I wouldn't mind him playing for the Celtics, if we can somehow make that happen

Umm, Noah has never been a nobody.  He was a top 10 draft pick in 2009.  I always liked his athleticism and energy on the court.  Now he is really coming into his own and he's gonna be practically untouchable if you are thinking trade talks.

23 points 21 rebounds 11 blocks

Wow this nobody is slowly turning into a somebody.
I love this kids hustle.
A 20/20 game is incredible, and to top that he has 11 blocks.

Gotta hand it to the kid, as much as he gets on my nerves when we play the Bulls.

I'd love to see him in Celtic Green someday.

Now if you want to play the rewind game... If we were trading Perkins again, I'd rather have made a package offer for Noah instead of Jeff Green.  I think we could have had a couple more titles in Boston with a lineup of Rondo, Allen, Pierce, KG, and Noah.

I have said all along that I would have taken him 5th in the 2007 draft (he went like 9th or 10th to the Bulls) while we traded Jeff Green, Delonte West, and Wally Sczerbiak to Seattle for Ray Allen. Does Seattle accept Perkins, Delonte West, and Wally Szerbiak to Seattle for Ray Allen? Does Minnesota accept Perkins and Jefferson (etc) for KG?

How many championships would we have won with Noah, KG, Rondo, Ray Allen, and Pierce as our Starting Five? Three Championships maybe???

You guys are finally warming up to Joakim Noah. He is no Joke!

Celtics aren't going anywhere without KG. If KG hadn't been injured, we would have still won 3 championships in a row. Stop overrating Noah.

Good for him. A good performance with 11 blocks o_o o_o o_o

But even Fab Melo could get 23,21,11 against Spencer Hawes JK

Props to him for a game-of-his-life, that will go down in the annals of history! Best game of his career

By the way. Goes to show.

SPENCER HAWES IS TERRIBLE
At D and O. Everywhere.

Please show respect for another posters ideas, even if you disagree with them!

Spencer Hawes is 24. Also, he'll likely be an undisputed starter if he were on our team.

Despite his stats, I think his game is terrible. His defense is poor, his offense is poor, he's not good.

I'd take Bass over him in a heartbeat

Well, Hawes is pretty much Bass in a 7'1 body with better rebounding/shot blocking skills and three point range. No contest, in my book.
