WHOA Didn’t expect this to happen 

Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah acknowledged he suffered a setback in his dealing with plantar fasciitis in his right foot and said he is doubtful to play against the Brooklyn Nets in Game 1 of their playoff series on Saturday.

Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah won't play Saturday night against the Indiana Pacers because of ongoing problems with plantar fasciitis in his right foot.

On Monday night, an NBA employee asked that injured Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah leave his team’s bench because his outfit was deemed unacceptable by the NBA. An outfit that – and this is coming from someone who lives in Indiana – probably ranked higher on the Mr. Blackwell list than most in attendance at Monday night’s Indiana Pacers/Chicago Bulls contest.

Boston Celtics forward Kevin Garnett is still a dirty player, at least according to Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah.

Last Friday’s tragic grade school shooting in Newtown, Conn., affected anyone who suffered through the detailing of events in a significant way; whether it meant questioning the preponderance of firearms in American society, how to handle and treat potential mental illness, or merely clinging a little tighter to your child’s hand before they skip off to the bus stop in the morning. Judging various personal reactions to the tragedy won’t do much for anyone, so harshly calling into question Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah’s admission that he won’t be pantomiming an old-timey six-shooter routine after hitting a jump shot isn’t really in anyone’s best interests.

Chicago Bulls head coach Tom Thibodeau said Wednesday that he spoke to center Joakim Noah about his decision to shoot a 3-pointer against the Orlando Magic just to try to win Big Macs for fans at the United Center.
