Noah is no one's favorite in Cleveland.

The Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls has been less than kind to Joakim Noah thus far.

After finishing 2-of-4 from the field in Wednesday's Game 2, the Bulls center was caught on video pushing a fan as he walked off the court. Noah says that there was nothing to the exchange, and that he was "just saying hello."

Later, Noah reportedly told a security guard after the game that a fan spat on him, but it is unknown whether the two incidents are related.

This may come as no surprise, since Noah has talked smack about the Cavaliers before, stating that he never thought he would say that he was excited to go to Cleveland.

Noah also started some beef with Ohio State quarterback Cardale Jones, reminding the national champion that he "isn't in the SEC" like Noah once was. Noah, however, told the media on Thursday, "I didn't even know who he was until this morning."

Chicago dropped the second game of the series 106-91 to Cleveland after hustling for a victory in Game 1.
