[/h2][h2]Bulls' Noah to sit three weeks[/h2]

The Chicago Bulls' Joakim Noah will miss three weeks as he recovers from plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
"It's a very difficult injury," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said on Wednesday. "It's very difficult to treat. He might rest for three weeks, he might rest for two months and come back and it's still bothering him. Rest will help usually, no question. But he's got to come back, fight through the pain.
"We'll give him a few weeks and hopefully he reacts better to that sooner. But that's the plan right now."

The latest news from Bulls reporter Nick Friedell. Blog
Noah, the Bulls' leading rebounder, has not played in the Bulls' past two games. On Friday, he played 27 minutes, the most since Feb. 3, against the Portland Trail Blazers but has missed the next two games.
Noah, in his third season, averages 10.7 points and 11.4 rebounds a game.
"I don't know if you do replace him," Del Negro said. "He's the second-leading rebounder in the whole NBA. And brings a lot of energy, a great spirit to the game for us. Gets us up possessions. Gets us out on the break. His offense has been developing all year and his development overall has been [good].
"It's a big loss, but other guys have to step up, and we're going to have to manage it. This biggest concern is rebounding the basketball. When we play bigger front lines, not having his length back there is an issue. Like I said, other guys have to step up and play well. And other guys have to pick their performance up until he gets back."
Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Brad Miller did not practice on Wednesday.

Aren't you the ring leader of the "John Hollinger is an idiot" bandwagon? He's either an idiot and his stuff is irrelevant or it's not.Originally Posted by CP1708
Wow, Hollinger just burst a few Mavs bubbles that were building.
And where's Osh? Dude told me that Ron Artest was some force in the statistical department, but he's 28th at his own position in Hollingers made up stats. So uh.....?
I'm not overly concerned about his crap on the Mavericks... They may not be the Lakers (and I'm very comfortable with that assumption) but his stuff suggests they're not in Denver and Utah's league either, which I think is nonsense... I don't care what the Mavericks resume as a whole says... What they are after the trade has nothing to do with what they were before. It's an entirely different team, and one playing without Erick Dampier and without Caron for a quarter of the games they've played... So they're beaten 7 playoff contenders in this stretch, but we're gonna poopoo it because they've done so by winning close games and playing better than said playoff contenders down the stretch of games?

I'm too lazy to find my post but I think it was in this thread at the beginning but I said Durant was better than Melo before the season started and people were all up in arms.
CP....you are taking Hollinger serious now? HMMMM
Absolutely get driven mad by Hollinger. Dude is a blowhard. Read that thing, and every point he makes, or tries to make goes back to his "formula" or his ratings, or his this or that.Originally Posted by Nowitness41Dirk

"if you take out this game, they go from 12th to 11th in my made up ratings, wow, I have my own ratings, look at meeeeee!!!!"
I remember after the Christmas game, Cleveland was #1 in his ratings, they go INTO LA, beat us, and the next day, LA was #1 in his rankings, Cleveland #2.
But um, I was told I can't summarily dismiss his writing, cuz that makes me stupid or something like that. I'm sure they'll be in here to agree with him and say how smart he is shortly.

Is there anywhere I can find first and second half (game, not season) team splits, preferably of the defensive variety?

KD vs. Melo is apples and oranges at this point...Durant is obviously going to surpass him long-term but at this point it's a wash.

You're so adamant about patting yourself on the back because John Hollinger did a general comparison and had Durant ahead?
It may not even be true now, but it certainly wasn't before this season.

I'm with you... For the most part, I think he's full of it... Some of his stuff is helpful if you take it for what it is, but that's about the extent of it...
He thought before the season that Marcin Gortat made the Mavericks a legitimate contender, but now Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood don't? Nothing we saw before the trade, IMO, should have changed anybody's opinion that drastically on what this team was...

My issue with the dude is instead of saying "hey my +#*@@%% formulas might not tell me everything" dude tries to justify it some how. Like just take your L and give it up.

Kevin Durant has been better than Carmelo Anthony for the last two seasons.

Hate watching a players full talent not be maximized and it's becoming evident (as was always presumed) Mike Brown has done that on offense with LeBron.
Not to say it's much of a difference, but there was a little higher ceiling there.
Small ball, open court with Lebron = even more greatness.
Fool had 10 points and 8 assists in the first 10 minutes.

Lou Will had a 10/10 night going until he threw up a 3/4 court heave to end the 3rd.
C'mon Lou, think about your stats...
He always comes back to ATL and kills tho...
