Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau needed just three words to sum up Joakim Noah's big night on Thursday. "He was spectacular," Thibodeau said. Noah had 23 points, 21 rebounds and a career-high 11 blocks for his third career triple-double, and the Chicago Bulls ended a two-game losing streak with a 93-82 victory over Philadelphia.
Noah had a great game. Hawes having a good game indicates to me that both teams shot like crap and the centers got lots of boards. Hawes is a guy with range. He certainly took Noah further from the basket than most would. 100 rebounds for both teams.
Goes without saying: I love Joakim as a player. But he needs help Thankfully, Kirk is rounding back into form, right Denny?
