Center Joakim Noah will miss his fifth straight game tonight against the New York Knicks at the United Center with plantar fasciitis of the left foot.
Noah participated in part of Monday's practice and experienced some soreness Tuesday morning.
"We're just gonna take it day by day," Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro said. "He's feeling better, but the doctor and [trainer] Fred [Tedeschi] feel we need to rest it a little more to heal it up. Hopefully, he'll continue to respond to the treatment."
I hate to see Tyrus Thomas traded, but he doesn't seem to fit in with the Bulls plans anymore. He better do an immediate 180 turn and get on page with his teammates. That means hustling, playing under the basket, rebounding, driving for layups, blocking shots and playing tenacious defense while settling for the minutes he get when entering the game.
I wish some one would simply tell Tyrus, "Let your play on the floor speak for your game!"
