A Knicks-Bulls matchup that feels like an October playoff game while eating all the Halloween candy my wife was planning on handing out this weekend… Let’s F*cking Go!!

For all needing:
Damian Lillard has not forgotten how to shoot, the Bulls aren’t going 82-0, the Nets aren’t going to miss the playoffs and the season is like 2% over.
Stop drawing conclusions this early.
Sincerely,
Me. – 7:48 PM

Joakim Noah always has been a worldly guy and he’s invested in NBA Africa. But he always has kept a footprint in Chicago through his @NoahsArcFdn and said as a Bulls ambassador, he will be here more often now. – 7:45 PM

I really can’t believe it but the Knicks are one of my must watch teams right now – 7:43 PM

Who would you rather have? Both were championship centers with Chicago ties.
Player A: 12.9 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 2.0 apg, 0.9 blocks, shot 33% from three, 50% from the field career.
Player B: 8.8 ppg, 9.0 rpg, 2.8 apg, 1.3 blocks, shot 0% from three, 49% from the field career.
Go! – 7:38 PM

Outside of Joakim Noah Night and Zach’s thumb injury, this game should be a good test of #Bulls‘ interior defense. Randle is one of the tougher matchups they’ll see in the East. – 7:32 PM

Joakim Noah packed a lot into his short Knicks career. Read about the socks, cadets, anthems, PED, kerfuffle w/ Hornacek.
Also consider this as he’s being honored in Chicago:
Noah was paid more by the Knicks ($72 million) than the Bulls ($70 million)

It’s nice that the Bulls have officially made Joakim Noah a teams ambassador, but the two have been working with each other for years to keep Jo’s Noah’s Arc Foundation a force in the community. Good news is we’ll see Jo around a lot more. – 2:32 PM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop
It’s not often you see Tom Thibodeau spending time at a party instead of preparing for a game.
That’s the kind of impact Joakim Noah can have.
