Although coach Tom Thibodeau stopped short of naming someone to take Joakim Noah's starting spot at center for Saturday's game with the Los Angeles Clippers, he did say he was leaning towards Taj Gibson.
Whether he starts or not, Gibson figures to play starter's minutes during Noah's absence.

As a Bulls fan here in Phoenix, It KILLS me when I see other teams making trades , trying to get better, and my BRAIN DEAD Bulls standing pat. Loss to the Clippers at home ? REALLY ? Foreman knew he would be without Boozer the first 6 weeks of the season. What did he do ? NOTHING ! Now, the Bulls will be without Noah til March , what does Foreman do ? NOTHING ! I think it's a rule that to be a GM in Chicago, you have to be the absolute WORST in the buisness. Foreman , Jerry Angelo , Jim Hendry ( way to stock pile starting pitchers Jim !) They make me sick !
