Sullinger Receives Large Praise From Chicago's Bigs

The Boston Globe has a story today about the Chicago Bulls' twin terrors of takedowns Joakim Noah and Carlos Boozer having nothing but praise for Celtic's budding big-man Jared Sullinger for his gritty performance on the boards in last night's heartbreaker of a last-minute loss.

So take heart, C's fans...last night might have been a hard one to deal with for the hour or so that followed the stumbling, drunken lob that was the Belinelli game-winner (okay, maybe I totally oversold the whole hour thing), but watching the development of Sully and the impact of Avery Bradley on the overall defense of this team should have you excited about the possibilities and hopeful for the short and long-term future.

But, if you want to sit there and stew in the juices of last-second loss thinking about the jump-ball-tie-up call, the lack of Bradley, or the merits of fouling early at the end of regulation then here's a little fuel for your fire from the gaping chasm of a mouth on that espouser of evenhandedness about all things Garnett -- Joakim Noah -- as reported by ESPN's Chris Forsberg.

If you ask me, though, we should just focus on the upcoming struggle for the Super Bowl between the Patriots and Ravens (6:30 p.m.) and the revenge game between our guys in green and the Detroit Pistons instead of that lucky son of a b**ch Marco Belinelli who just happened to...aww, who am I kidding? 14-hours, 24-hours, tops and I won't even remember his name.
