- Side note: I have always been a fan of Joakim Noah, but after the performance he had on Sunday, and this whole season as a matter of fact, I have the most respect for this man. Sure he complains a bit sometimes, but he has more heart than anyone else in the league does. I always appreciate someone who gives a 110% effort day in and day out, and if anyone deserves to complain ever in the NBA, its Mr. Noah.
