Love him or hate him, the next round of the playoffs will greatly miss Joakim Noah. Sure, Noah went off in a few games and did work, but we’re going to miss Joakim Noah as the guy ripping on Cleveland in post game press conferences. I mean, would you rather see and hear Noah rip on Boston or would you rather see and hear Dwight Howard’s bad impressions of Stan Van Gundy again? It’s a dream, perhaps the grandest dream ever, but can you imagine what Noah would’ve said about Milwaukee? Bango would’ve beaten the shit out of random people in Noah jerseys and it would’ve been fun and interesting. Instead, the next round will be filled with stories about LeBron’s bum elbow and Dwight Howard’s impressions.
Joakim, we will remember you.
