After bashing the city of Cleveland, Joakim Noah was booed heartily last night by Cavaliers fans but didn't let it affect his game. The Bulls center still had career playoff highs of 25 points and 13 rebounds and was the main factor that kept Chicago in contention before falling to the Cavs, 112-102.

A three-point play by Noah gave the Bulls a 53-52 lead early in the third quarter and set off the first of several choruses of "Noah sucks!"

"Whatever gets him ready to play, gets him going, is fine with me," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro told the Chicago Tribune. "Jo's going to speak his mind. When you do, you've got to back it up."

Noah made himself a permanent enemy of Cavs fans by saying, "I don't know about Cleveland, man, there is nothing going on . . . It's bad, man." After Chicago fell to 0-2 in its playoff against the Bulls, he said he had no regrets about the remark.

"Not at all," Noah told reporters. "Do you like it? Do you think it's cool at all? I never heard anyone say I'm going to Cleveland on vacation . . . My whole life I've been booed. It's OK. I have my friends, I don't care."

And I thought I hated Cleveland a lot....

He and Kanye West share the same disease - terminal diarrheaofthemouthitis. :crazy:

MrCleveland i was gonna post a topic about Joakim Noah's comments about Cleveland but you beat me to it. Joakim is a fool if he thinks there's nothing happening in downtown Cleveland. He said there ain't nothing but factories there. That's a damn lie. Downtown Cleveland has several clubs and restaurants in the Flats. As many times as he's been to Cleveland, why would he say some dumb sh*t like that? So what if he's never heard anybody say they aren't going to Cleveland for a vacation? That doesn't mean that the city sucks. I've been to Youngstown, Ohio before several times and it's definitely nothing going on there LOL. Now if he wants to diss a city, he should be dissing Youngstown because that's the most boring city i've been to hahahahahahahahahahaha. My cousins live there and that's the only reason why i've been there to visit. One of my cousins who lives there told me he can't wait until he graduates from high school so he could get outta that city hahahahahahahahahahaha. He said that about 9 years ago i think. I'm sure he's gone by now LOL. I haven't seen him since then.



I hope Cleveland wins today. They should've won the last game if it wasn't for those free throws they missed. Lebron missed 6 free throws and Maurice Williams missed 3 free throws. My brother today said that Mike Brown has to be the worst coach in the NBA right now in the playoffs hahahahahahahaha. I agree with that. I don't like him and i never have. I don't like the fact that he's not playing Daniel Gibson at all and he's not playing JJ Hickson that much. I was also upset with him for not playing Joe Smith and Damon Jones that much when they were with the team about 3 years ago in the playoffs.

Noah has never been to Lakewood. There's a lot happening there, and with the 20+ point margin yesterday Noah should eat his words with a spoon and if he wants to dis a city...have him dis Detroit!

I think Detroit is worse than Cleveland hahahahahahahahahahaha. But Cleveland is a terrible city because there's nothing going on there and Joakim Noah is right. The malls suck there. The jobs suck there. The winter sucks there. That's why i moved from Cleveland LOL. I know i have Cleveland as my location on here but i live in Maryland now. If it didn't snow, if i had a good job and if the malls were good in Cleveland, i would've stayed there. I was thinking about moving back to Cleveland when i retire from working because the cost of living is less expensive there than Maryland but now i think i'm gonna stay where iam. I'll just come back to Cleveland to visit in the summer because i like being there in the summer. I still have a lot of relatives there. I miss my grandparents who died there.
