The Celtics did not almost beat the Bulls. Their run was about five-to-seven minutes to early in the second quarter to say that. The Bulls took the foot off the pedal right when Boston’s shooters got hot. And then they went cold again and the game was put out of hand.

Weird timing for Barkley to come out with this. Noah’s been pretty bad all year, but the last few games he’s been coming around.

Then again, when he’s spent several games dribbling the ball off the side of his leg, he has nowhere to go but up.

there’s something going on with Noah. not sure if he’s worn down from playing ball in Europe all summer or what, but he’s completely disconnected mentally. wouldn’t surprise me if he tested positive and got banned, if you know what I mean.

Noah did very, very well against the Celtics, who almost beat the Bulls. Chicago does not beat Boston without Rose. That said, the Bulls play team basketball but Rose puts them over the top, like Kobe with the Lakers, or Nowitzki with the Mavericks.

Yeah, I agree with Barkley that Noah isn’t playing the way he used to.

But this last week, he has been playing better. It’s not that his scoring is down or percentage, he’s never been known for that, it’s his energy and hustle.

But the past few games he has been able to show his energy and get all those hustle plays. Hopefully he can be like that for the rest of the season.

Means nothing Barkley is impressed with on one except himself
