Chris Andersen says he was signed with the purpose of guarding Joakim Noah in case the Heat and Bulls met in the playoffs.
Anderson said he told Noah that in the hallway after the Bulls halted Miami's 27-game win streak in March. If that's the case, Birdman hadn't exactly been doing a stellar job this series prior to Monday's Game 4. Noah, who is playing through plantar fasciitis, was averaging close to a double-double before Monday's six-point, nine-rebound performance that included 1-of-6 shooting from the field. Anderson has been a pretty useful piece for Miami since joining the Heat, but his impact will be limited to energy and defending the opposing team's big man.
