Bulls center Joakim Noah has been virtually invisible, particularly on offense, in the first two games of the second-round playoff series against Cleveland. But Tom Thibodeau has no plans to bench him, per the Chicago Sun-Times.
Noah has just four points in the two games. He is 2-for-8 from the field and 0-for-4 from the foul line. He is averaging eight rebounds, but has been beaten consistently on the defensive glass by younger and more active Cavaliers power forward Tristan Thompson.
It is hoped that Noah feeds off the energy of the home crowd and performs better Friday night when the series moves to Chicago for Game 3.
