    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the season nearing the halfway mark, San Antonio still appears to be the big favorite for the NBA title. But don't tell coach Gregg Popovich.

    Popovich isn't exactly saying it, but there are signs that the Spurs, despite being the league's best defensive team and having Tim Duncan, are worried about, of all things, small ball.

    "I know some people think it's not going to last, but that's because they don't want it to last," Popovich said about the conventional wisdom that running teams like the Phoenix Suns and Seattle SuperSonics will collapse in the playoffs, when the halfcourt game usually plays a bigger role. "Those guys aren't going to forget how to run and they're not going to forget how to shoot. Can they win in the playoffs playing like that? I don't see why not."

    That's why, according to league sources, the Spurs recently came in search of the Bulls' Tyson Chandler. Don't worry, Chandler isn't going anywhere. Eddy Curry isn't likely to be departing either. Even I'm on board with that. With the way the Bulls have played lately, it makes sense to let this team finish the season together. The Bulls are second in the league in opponents' field-goal percentage, one of the key barometers of defensive play.oach Scott Skiles should get a lot of credit for that. This isn't to say Curry, still a poor rebounder for his size, is a Bull for life. But it makes sense to ride it out until summer and perhaps sign him to a reasonable contract, which the Bulls tried to do in October before his agents asked for $80 million.</div>

    What do they think we are stupid? Chandler for Rasho that is crazy Rasho is no where near as good as Chandler. He had a good contract year in Minnesota had a franchise high in blocked shots 8 in one game averaged career high in points, but then he dissappeared. We have also shown intrest in Jason Richardson and Troy Murphy from Golden State.

    LIke the Warriors will give up J-Rich or Murph, it is obvious they are the team's offense

    They cannot ruin this NOW. Just when they finally started to come together.

    They won't, so don't worrry about it. Bulls managment likely sees that this team is finally putting it together and it's not likely they're going to dismantle that core.....at least not yet.
