DeMar DeRozan With The Sweet Dish To A Wide-Open…Joakim Noah?

The Chicago Bulls’ reigning Defensive Player of the Year Joakim Noah never gives up on defense, not even when he’s on the bench.

Whether he’s showing off his handle or making bold proclamations about the Bulls’ post-season prowess, there’s never a dull moment around Noah, and we wouldn’t put it past him if DeMar DeRozan’s errant pass on this play was all part of his elaborate plan. If you watch it closely, Noah – who’s conveniently wearing a white practice jersey similar to the Raptors’ unis – remains standing as the play transpires, just long enough for DeRozan to mistake him for one of his Raptor teammates.

Noah, for his part, was somewhat circumspect after the game as to whether he was actively trying to trick DeRozan into throwing him the ball. Regardless, the Bulls went on to win 116-103 and hand the Raptors their third loss out of their last four games. After sitting out Monday’s win against the Hornets, Noah played 28 minutes and had nine points, five rebounds, and five assists to go along with the turnover he forced above.

Rest assured, DeMar, we’ll be seeing you on Shaqtin’ A Fool next week.
