Before the Bulls and Wizards even entered the gym, you could see this coming. On Monday, Nene talked about his burning hatred for the Bulls, most likely stemming from his ejection and suspension for throwing down with Jimmy Butler in the playoffs last year. Early in the fourth quarter of last night's game, Nene was at it again, making absolutely no effort whatsoever to play the ball on a Joakim Noah driving layup and instead hammering Noah in the face. He hit him so hard it left a red mark down Noah's forehead and nose.Not long after the karate chop, which was his fifth foul, Nene picked up his sixth foul for hip-checking Noah while positioning for a rebound. Nene got a nice send-off from the crowd as he left the game, finishing with zero points and six fouls. These two old dudes gleefully waved goodbye as he took his seat for the rest of the night.
