    I thought that was pretty weird. Noah was unstoppable offensively in the first half... how many times have you been able to say that? Then all of a sudden, the game gets close down the stretch, and Noah's nowhere to be found.

    This one's a head scratcher. I read where Noah left the locker room after the game and wouldn't talk to anyone. Seems like he was pissed.

    The team is under a huge strain. They've been playing above their heads, but Thibs keeps telling thm to go higher. Thibs is right to push, but I understand why Noah might crack

    If he wasn't sending a message, he's an idiot...and i don't think he's an idiot.

    I hope that they've talked it out candidly man-to-man. This team's not good enough to overcome serious discontent from a key player like Noah.

    I expect that. No other way to handle this.
