Noah's injury good for the rest of the NBA

Our intern Cheyenne is at it again, touting his beloved Chicago Bulls:

The Chicago Bulls have lost forward Joakim Noah for 8 to 10 weeks because of an injury to his thumb that needed surgery.

If the Bulls had Noah in the lineup throughout the regular season, they could’ve had the best record in the NBA. But without him, point guard Derrick Rose and forward Carlos Boozer won’t be able to build chemistry, and Noah won’t be in top form when he comes back.

Chicago’s Big 3 should be familiar with each other come playoff time, but the Bulls won’t have the first or second seed in the Eastern Conference. The rest of the NBA is lucky, because the Bulls would beat any team on any night had the Big 3 gotten the chance to mesh. Just wait till next year if you don’t believe me.

I know the Bulls will prove me right, but maybe not this year. We don’t need LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh or Amare Stoudemire. To Carmelo Anthony: if you now what’s good for you, go to Chicago and get a ring.

If the Bulls got ’Melo, the NBA would be done — the Bulls would dominate every team. That being said, the Chicago Bulls still will be a very talented team come April, and probably will make it past the first round of the playoffs.
