Noah has more to say about Garnett

First of all, one quick item relevant to tomorrow’s game against Golden State: Warriors guard Monta Ellis was in the starting lineup at New York on Wednesday.

Ellis, who started the night as the NBA’s leading scorer at 27.9 ppg, suffered a back injury on Monday against Toronto and stayed overnight as a precaution. By Tuesday, the Warriors didn’t think the injury was serious and obviously Ellis is feeling healthy.

--After Wednesday’s practice at the Berto Center, Joakim Noah and Derrick Rose were featured on WMVP’s “Lunch with a Legend” series. Or in this case, “Early Dinner with a Famous Duo.”

Noah took the opportunity to once again express his dislike for Boston’s Kevin Garnett, calling him “ugly” at one point and “a very mean guy.”

No reason to think calling out KG is bad strategy for the Bulls. Noah already called Garnett a dirty player after the playoff skirmish with Miami’s Quentin Richardson last spring. The first time he saw the Celtics this season, Noah collected a career-high 26 points.

After insulting the city of Cleveland in the playoffs, Noah produced the first 20-20 playoff game in franchise history.

The more Noah talks, the more he focuses.
