| McDonald's |
Ok, that's not
exactly what Herm Edwards said 10 years ago, but it's what Joakim Noah was
shooting for Tuesday night.
Here's the
deal: each game the Chicago Bulls score 100 points at home in the United
Center, McDonald's hands out a coupon for a free Big Mac to everyone in
attendance. On Tuesday, with the Bulls leading the Orlando Magic 99-93, Noah
heaved up a three-pointer with 3.8 seconds to play in hopes of scoring two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun for everyone.
“I got caught
up in the moment,” Noah said after the game. “I regret it a little bit. It
wasn’t a good shot."
The Bulls got
to 99 points when Noah made one of two free throws with 23 seconds to play.
Maybe missing that one free throw, leaving the crowd 1-point shy of free burgers,
put a little pressure on Noah at the end of the game.
Bulls Head Coach
Tom Thibodeau was on Jim Rome's radio show today and didn't sound pleased with Noah's
late-game shot selection, saying only that he had talked with Noah about the
shot.
Lighten up,
fellas.
There were less
than four seconds left to play and the Bulls had a six point lead when Noah's shot
clanked.
The game was
over. Times are tough, and dammit, people gotta eat.
