Noah on Nene: "Roid rage." 

Post#1 » by Fiktion » Sat Apr 26, 2014 8:22 am

http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/20 ... story.html

Going on midnight Friday, Joakim Noah, America’s most ornery, nails-on-a-chalkboard player, rubbed salt on the wound.

“Looks like you’re going to lose Nene for a game,” the Chicago Bulls center said to no one in particular as he shuffled down the hall outside the Verizon Center press room. Almost cackling, he added, “What a bummer. [Stinks] for you guys.”

A few steps later, he mouthed, “ ’Roid rage.”

“You can’t control when you play physical, things get hot,” Nene said afterward. “It’s over. . . . You need to move [on], that’s what I’m doing.”

In the most inaccurate statement ever uttered by a man thrown out of a game for escalating a physical confrontation, Nene added, “We maintained our composure.”

Suddenly the little man in Noah's head that helps him cope with having no answer for and being abused by Nene in game one--- just days after being named DPOY--- has grown a set.

I wonder if Noah actually thinks Nene uses steroids. Nene has had a pretty fast recovery. If Noah is just referring to why Nene got angry, then Noah should really learn to keep thoughts in his head to himself.

Noah can't stop Nene on the court so he hopes the NBA can stop him. It's sad that the Bulls can't beat us just playing basketball. They have to resort to cheap tactics.

Noah has always been a troll to make comments to the media. It's all part of the Bulls strategy to fluster you and make you make mistakes.

Karma will find Noah, no worries.

As greg williams would say, "Lets test those knees" or something of the like.

It won't shock me if Noah tests positive for some PED in the future.
Tre Johnson is the future of the Wizards.

I find it funny he accused him of that, the old adage whoever smelt it dealt it :P

But I was speaking more to the fact that his coach is probably gonna run him into ground with all those minutes. Wouldn't be surprised if he suffers a non-contact injury.

So correct me if I'm wrong, but the guy fresh off getting into it with a security guard of all people at Verizon Center is the one accusing somebody else of roid rage? Right, just checking...

"Wait, Nene could get suspended? Cool, cool, I can finally mouth off..." - Joakim Noah.

I actually for some reason agree with Noah :lol:
After Rose broke both his knees, I gave up on the hope that we'd make it to the NBA Finals again. It will probably be decades before we see another championship. Hello Treadmill, here we come.

It's the shoes!

I was trying to get a Noooooaaaaah chant going to mock him after he FINALLY got called for a moving screen yesterday but not enough people went along with it. :(
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Joakim Noah is one of the biggest cry babies I've ever seen. He's also a dirty player. And the fact that he'll soon be home watching games delights me to no end.

Noah is a fraud and is being exposed this series. Before this series I would have argued that the wizards half court offense is below average but Washington has constantly gotten great looks in their half court sets, particularly when the pressure has been ratcheted up in the fourth. Noah has not been an impact this series and has been owned by nene down low.
