I never had a problem with him other then his constant foul trouble. I never wanted them to trade him as I felt his numbers blasted Ben Wallace. But Ben brings leadership so all in all it is a catch 22.
It's kind of like they (Chandler and Curry) spent their so called college years in Chicago and then went to a new team. I think Red said that during the game.
<div class="quote_poster">MrJ Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">http://www.suntimes.com/sports/jackson/280...T-jax02.article Why do big men flourish after leaving Chicago?</div> They have both had better seasons, but both their teams remain under .500. While the Bulls are on pace to surpass their win total from all four/five years in which they had Chandler/Curry. Anyway, I always liked Chandler and Im happy for him. He seemed like a guy who fed off confidence, and got down on himself win he struggled. Skiles is not the coach that will apt you on the back and say "every things going to be ok" and ultimately I think that hurt Chandler in the long run. BTW: Bulls beat the Hornets last night by double digits.
We did beat the Hornets.....a nice spanking. Chandler has found a team that is better for his playing style.
