While we wait for the real Luol Deng to come out and play and Tyrus Thomas to go back to actually making some shots, Bulls Live says love or hate Andres Nocioni, he is not a dirty player. Richard Jefferson disagrees.

Deng is shooting just 31%. Tyrus Thomas is down to 26%. Noah is shooting just 36%.

Has anyone noticed that Joakim Noah has not played double-digit minutes in the last 2 games? He played only 7 minutes against the Grizz and barely made it on to the scoresheet with one block, one foul and one turnover. He played only 5 minutes against the Magic. With the exception of Demetris Nichols, no Bull is averagine less PPG and MPG than Noah.

This is annoying. He is a first-round pick. Sure it’s early in the season, but this isn’t the start anyone envisioned for Noah. I think most of us were thinking averages of 10 & 10. Now we have to be hopeful for 10 minutes?
