The Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers faced off on Easter Sunday in a matchup that put 2 against the 3 seed in the Eastern Conference against each other. The Cavs pulled off a win over the Bulls in a contest full of highlight plays from Kyrie Irving, J.R. Smith and LeBron James capped off the victory with his first triple-double of the season. Plus, to add to the drama, the Bulls and Cavs don’t like each other.
Well, not so much the Bulls and Cavs, it’s more of Joakim Noah and LeBron James not seeing eye to eye for a few years now.
Lets take a trip back to LeBron’s first stint with the Cavs when he and Noah got into it and Noah had some not so great words for ‘The King’ and the City of Cleveland.
Now, we fast forward to the present day and during yesterday’s game against the Cavs. The ‘non-violence advocate‘ and Citizenship award nominee, Joakim Noah, decided to go at James again and call him a not so nice word.
Now after the game Noah decided to continue to take shots at the Cavs and their possible second round playoff collision.
Following from ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
Joakim Noah on the Cavs in the playoffs: "If the opportunity presents itself and we can play Cleveland I would be very happy"

Well, as it looks right now in the Eastern Conference, the Cavs might have a very drama-filled playoffs if all goes according to plan.
In the first round, they could potentially go against Dwyane Wade and the Miami Heat and if both they and the Bulls make it out of the first round, they would meet each other in the second round then if the Cavaliers survive they’ll have to play the Atlanta Hawks on their way to the finals.
Oh boy, the playoffs are only 12 days away and the anticipation grows. I really, really, really, really hope these 2 get to face off because I can definitely see a hard foul coming James’ way.
