Bulls center Joakim Noah made some pointed remarks towards the city of Cleveland over the weekend. He didn't address the media on Monday morning, but did make a few comments as he walked to the team's bus. "I don't care," Noah snapped. "At all." Noah told reporters on Sunday that he was not enjoying his time in Cleveland. He was then asked if the boos he heard during Saturday's Game 1 at Quicken Loans Arena bothered him. Noah responded: "What? That Cleveland sucks?" While members of the media and the Cavaliers have taken offense to his comments, Noah's teammates support him. "That's Jo, man," guard Derrick Rose said. "He's just trying to win. That's the way he plays. That's the way he talks. If you see him you always know he's in the room. Actually it makes all of us play harder because you know every arena he goes to, everybody hates up. It makes us play harder, and we just love shutting the crowd up."

Jared Dudley said Cleveland is one of the worst Cities to visit during the season on Twitter earlier this season. I'm sure Noah isn't the only NBA player who thinks this.
I have some sentiment toward Cleveland (big Mark Price fan)...but that city is something of a sewer. I've seen worse, but it's definitely not making anyone's top 5 destinations.
Cleveland is probably the most miserable metropolitan city that I have been to. I get the feeling that anybody that lives there only does so because they either grew up there or got a good job offer there.
I was totally OK with what Noah said about KG, but he needs to keep a lid on some stuff, for his own good. He is free to speak his mind about whatever he wants to because that is a constitutional right. But he will also suffer the consequences if he continues to spout off negative comments on a regular basis.
I don't have a problem with him making digs at the team or the city, but it's stupid on his part to give the Cavs clipboard material or make himself a target of the fans.
The city does suck. Everyone needs to know it. Forbes has Cleveland very high on their list of most miserable cities, along with St. Louis, Buffalo, Chicago, Detroit, and Memphis.
Their similarities are the hustle, rebounding, and defense. Hayes can't shoot and Noah has a decent jumper. Noah can sometimes act like a prick and Hayes reportedly is like one of the nicest guys around.

I agree. Cavs probably in 4. But my hatred for the Cavs will not allow me to support them....so still, go Bulls. Though to be honest, I'm not even a Bulls fan....but since Houston isn't in the playoffs , I'm basically pulling for whoever the Cavs are playing against.
