One of the key matchups in the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and Bulls has been Chris Bosh against Joakim Noah. On paper Bosh is the better player. The six-time All-Star has averaged 20 points and 9.2 rebounds for his career, though his numbers took a hit this season as he deferred to LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.
Noah, on the other hand, has yet to make an All-Star team and posts just 8.5 points and 8.4 rebounds for his career. This was his best statistical season, in which he averaged 11.7 points, 10.4 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game. The Bulls center is a superior defender and excellent passer. His greatest value lies in the intangibles he brings to the court, specifically his infectious energy.
The two big men have guarded each other at times during the current series. Bosh has been the better offensive player, scoring at a rate of 24 points per game and carried the Heat offensively during stretches of Game 3 when Noah was in foul trouble. Yet, Noah has exceeded Bosh in just about every other statistical category, including; rebounds, blocks, steals and assists. His passing out of the high post and help defense has been particularly impressive.
Bosh and Noah are both in their prime, ages 27 and 26 respectively. Bosh has the name and the numbers, but Noah’s value to the Bulls is immeasurable. Which one would you rather have on your team?
Whats up this is kind of of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.
I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding experience so
I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
I think the admin of this web page is genuinely working hard in favor
of his web site, because here every stuff is quality based information.

WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for canon g12
I agree with Pauly S. Bosh is also not attractive. I otherwise do not agree with anything else Pauly S. said there. Noah is very good and probably deserves some all-star love soon, but I’ll take Bosh. Being unique doesn’t make you better. It’s sort of like the discussion I had with Pauly Knep about having a good center, and how overrated that “advantage” is. I’d still take LeBron or Wade individually over Dwight Howard. They’re simply more complete players.
“There’s only one Joakim”- that’s what your mama said.
Oooooooh!!!!!
Joakim may be the ugliest guy in the Eastern Conference
You want to talk ugly? Bosh looks like a cross between Snoop Dogg and Voldemort — a serpent with an overbite. He is U.G.L.Y.
And his skills are no different than dozens of other big men scorers in the league. There’s only one Joakim.
