Bulls Defy Odds With Win Against Cavs

Filed under: Bulls, Cavaliers, Playoffs

CHICAGO -- Joakim Noah still describes LeBron James as "very good, very good," which is intentionally short of calling him king. Noah still rips the city of Cleveland. The Chicago Bulls are still ripping into James from the bench.



Of all teams to trash talk James and the mighty Cleveland Cavaliers, it seems ridiculous that it's coming from Team Dysfunction, the Bulls, where an under-prepared coach and his overly hot-tempered boss are fighting, physically, behind closed doors. It is doubly laughable that it's coming from Noah, best known in Chicago for arriving on draft day a few years ago looking, roughly, like a clown.



And triply ridiculous? Chicago 108, Cleveland 106.



Somehow, Noah seems different when he's pulling down 15 rebounds in the playoffs.



"I don't want people to think I'm some kind of circus freak," he said. "Just cause I say things like, 'Cleveland sucks,' doesn't mean I'm not going out and giving all I've got."
