Game two of the Bulls-Cavs playoff series may have been the most bizarre ever for Bulls center Joakim Noah.

First, he got into a Twitter dust up with Ohio State QB and Cleveland native Cardale Jones, who does not like Noah much. Jones started the rant after he thought Noah slighted him by mouthing, "You ain't in the SEC" as Jones tried to hype the crowd during the game. However, Noah said his comments weren't directed at Jones because he had no idea who he is.
Noah on Cardale Jones: "I didn't know who he was until this morning."

Noah says he didn't say anything to Jones. He didn't even who Jones was.

"I didn't know who he was until this morning. But I wish him nothing but the best. I like Urban Meyer, I guess."
That capped a really strange Game 2 for Noah. Noah reported that a fan spit tobacco on him (yuch!), and Noah then came into contact with a fan who said something to him on the way to the locker room.

He ended up getting fined for the contact as well.
Joakim Noah was hit with a 25K fine for pushing a fan in Cleveland by the @NBA.

Strange all around.
