<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Apparently it led to a dispute in the locker room as rookie Joakim Noah complained about the attitude on the bench and argued with veteran Ben Wallace. One witness said Luol Deng had to step between them to ease the tension.</div> Gordon with the killing comment of: <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"We just didn't play well," Gordon said. "It is what it is."</div> http://chicagosports.chicagotribune.com/sp...-home-headlines If thats not the attitude of **** this team, I don't know what is. Boylan has truly let the inmates run the asylum. Gordon's been bounced down to the status of bench player, not 6th man. The sixty million dollar man is handing out suspensions for players who call him out on effort. This just might end up worse than the Knicks. You don't go for a whole scale change. You send Wallace's ass home Tim Thomas style, and let the team gain back their chemistry. I think it has to be clear now he is the cause of all the teams problems. Then just wait for some idiot to come along and take him, otherwise, just let him waste away the next 3 years, ruining his NBA career, and putting the mark of "loser, cancer" on his legacy.
This has been a great can of worms to open up for all involved. But I can't say I blame Noah too much when Wallace was yucking it up on the sidelines in the 3rd, after being benched for the night for being godawful, and Noah at least looks like he gave a shit out there.
what a complete waste wallace has benn. its obvious the only guy on this team, who is any type of a vocal leader, is Noah. Which is sad considering he's only a rookie. This team is soft mentally.

He's been conspicuously inconspicuous at many of the most telling moments of the season. Not really related to the original point, but still, this guy is not a team captain.
This is a ton of lulz You'd think instead of pissing each other off, they'd be more united than ever. But you never know, pissing each other off may unite on the court, the Bulls just lack motivation. I do not Gordon's attitude...Yeah, "it is what it is"...but that isn't a "we are on the verge to better" type of comment. Gordon is a good scorer, but his handling skills are so bleh that even his good scoring is looked down on. So BG, fix this.
The problem with Wallace is he already has the ring and really left happy with Detroit. Shaq left LA angry and wanted to prove them wrong. Wallace needs to get energized. On the other hand, Noah has no right to be taking shots at players because he has no impact on this team so far.

Just because he opens his mouth (too much I might add) does not make him a leader, it makes him a big mouth. Just as he was in college, just as he will be in the Pro's. I find it hilarious that someone who just runs around like a crackhead on the court has the balls to call out a two time DPOY winner who also happens to have a ring on his finger. I was under the impression that in order to "call someone out" you had to be worth a shit yourself to begin with.

My way of looking at it is that it's probably the first time ever the "What have you done for me lately" mentality produced the correct result in the NBA. To put it even more simply, Noah 1) Gives a shit and 2) Has a future here. Wallace 3) Doesn't give a shit and 4) Has been a detour on the road to wherever the hell this team is going.
