In between those two quotes, he took a phone call from Pax telling him what he could and couldn't say.
Who doesn't like to strut, really? Right now, he's cock-of-the-walk. The big cheese. The head honcho. Numero Uno. And so forth.
If you take a step back and look at this, it's like day four of "can't get any worse." The first day I read about Noah going off on Adams and getting suspended, I said to myself "That's really bad. This can't get any worse." Then we read about the team voting to suspend Noah an extra game, and I was like, "That's really bad. This can't get any worse" . . . until the next day when Noah and Wallace had a brawl, when I thought to myself: "Okay, this is ridiculous. It can't get any worse." Of course today, Boylan felt the need to announce that he was in charge, as if it wasn't already set forth in his title. So what's going to happen tomorrow?

Actually I thought the Noah standing up to Wallace episode was a step in the right direction. The only real hope I see for him not being a big-time cancer is if he somehow gets it through his head that, career-wise, he's a lot closer to what Antonio Davis was for us (aging player on a team that's not really going to contend) and start acting like that, than continuing to act like Ben Wallace, superstar.
