LOL: Whoever Smelt It Dealt It

When he’s not busy talking heat to Legends like LeBron James, Bulls center Joakim Noah appears to be a pretty funny dude. During a recent interview Noah smelt something funkier than Bubbles and accused the reporter of laying a stinker. Noah spent the reminder of the interview trying to figure out who was responsible for letting one rip, but as the old saying goes, whoever smelt it dealt it. This doesn’t mean that Noah was responsible for the fart, because it some circles whoever denied it, supplied it. Via Terez Owens

Double Fight Night: L.O. vs O’Neal, Noah vs LeBron

Friday night provided a few almost scuffles around the NBA. Lamar Odom and Jermaine O’Neal nearly came to blows during the Lakers-Heat game and Odom was eventually ejected for pushing O’Neal. This fight might be a result of a little saltiness over the fact that O’Neal not only tea-bagged L.O., but also gave his boo Khloe some chin nuts not too long ago as well. Mrs. Odom was on hand to witness her boo boo getting shat on by O’Neal, which probably brought back memories of when he use to give her the “D” like a 2-3 (zone).

Artest Use To Sip That Yack At Halftime

You know Ron-Ron is on some other ish. Any dude that works at Best Buy during his rookie season, to take advantage of their respectable employee discount, is a legend to say the least. During a recent interview for Sporting News magazine, Artest admitted that during his time with the Bulls (1999-2002) he would occasionally take a few sips of Hennessy during halftime of games. “I used to drink Hennessy … at halftime, I (kept it) in my locker. I’d just walk to the liquor store (near the stadium) and get it.”

Considering the Bulls won a total of 53 games during Artest’s time in Chicago, his wanting to hit the bottle is more than understandable. During the interview Artest also admitted to getting it super-duper cracking during his rookie season, “When I was a 19-year-old father, whew. I was a single pimp! I was wild. A lot of marijuana and alcohol—even before (that age). … I (still) party and I have fun, but not like I used to. I used to drink every night and party every night.” We definitely don’t blame the dude. Via Sporting News

In The Face: D-Rose Shows Why Oden Is Dunkbait

Dunk Score: 9.8

This year there may be more 7-footers getting banged on by guards than ever before. First D-Wade caught Anderson Varejao slippin’ like a moist rubber, D.J. Mbenga has shown numerous times why his nickname around the Lakers organization is “D.J. Mbanged-on,” and now former #1 pick Greg Oden is doing his best to take the dunkbait crown. Oden got shitted on like one of Osi’s boos during the Bulls-Blazers (great video game) matchup Monday night. Derrick Rose went chest-to-chest with Oden and the best of the big man, delivering the demoralizing facial in front of Oden’s friends and family. Somebody wipe his face.

Check out Joakim Noah also sharting on Oden earlier in the game after the jump…

LOL: D12 Shows Chinese Squares How To Swag Surf

Chaser NBA Preview: Chicago Bulls

Last year’s record: 41-41

This year’s projection: 52-30

New Booty’s: James Johnson, Janero Pargo, Taj Gibson,

Holler Back: Ben Gordon, Tim Thomas, Anthony Roberson

After taking the Boston Celtics to seven games in one of the league’s greatest postseason series, the Chicago Bull were poised to challenge for Eastern Conference supremacy. Then in the offseason, they lost their most dynamic scorer, Ben Gordon to Detroit. Though Gordon’s lost is blow to the Bulls, they have assembled enough talent on their roster, to be an efficient , more cohesive unit on both ends of floor this season.

Coach Vinny Del Negro did a solid job last season, but made some questionable decisions in the matchup vs Boston, which cost them the series. The biggest key for Del Negro this season, is managing the game, his team and his point guard, Rookie of the Year Derrick Rose.

Derrick Rose entered the NBA as the #1 overall pick, amidst a lot of hype and hoopla. He did not disappoint his first season, and is on the cusp of being an elite NBA point guard. Though his decision-making, turnovers and shooting must improve, Rose showed an uncanny knack for getting to the rim, and at 6′3 can guard both point and shooting guard positions. His 36 point outburst against Rajon Rondo is the stuff of legend, and he is the single most important piece to the Bulls franchise.

Complimenting Rose in the backcourt, is veteran guard John Salmons. Salmons is a versatile, underrated, scoring guard that locks down defensively and isn’t afraid to take big shots. Salmons averaged 18 points a game after coming over from the Sacramento Kings, and is a much better option than Ben Gordon on the perimeter. At 6′6 Salmons can play all three perimeter positions, but most importantly defend them. He can bring the ball up and initiate the offense with more effectiveness than the one-dimensional Gordon.

In The Face: Preseason Euro Edition

Starring Bulls rookie Taj Gibson and AK47 as Salim from Slumdog Millionaire (not the legend).

Dunk Score: 7.6

Can somebody please tell us how to say “wipe his face” in Russian. This dunk might have got a better score if it was the regular season, but it isn’t, so Tis Tough. You have to give it up to Taj Gibson though on this one, he caught AK47 slippin’ like Ricky and now has a solid story to tell his grand kids or any mid to low level groupie he is trying to mash. In Kirilenko’s defense, the game was played in London so he was probably out all last night trying to shag the birds and fight some geezers.
