Joakim Noah appears to be vastly stronger than he was when the Bulls were eliminated in last year's playoffs by the Boston Celtics.

"I felt like in that (playoff) series against Boston, that's one thing I needed to do better," said Noah, who estimated he added 10 pounds over the summer. "I felt like I was getting pushed around a little bit too much. It was important for me to lift a lot of weights. I feel stronger. I feel like I put on good weight, because I'm still running the floor well."
