The matchup for the game tonight between the Chicago Bulls and the hosting San Antonio Spurs will be between Bulls' forward Carlos Boozer and Spurs' forward Tim Duncan.
In their first meeting of the season during the Rodeo Road Trip, the Spurs easily defeated the Bulls in a 103-89 victory. Duncan was out for that game with a knee injury, but the team didn't need him as they easily handled the Bulls. Boozer had a good game with 14 points (7-15 shooting) and 8 rebounds in 29 minutes. While he had a good game, the team had a +/- of -24 with him on the floor and he'll be sure to make up for that this game.
What Duncan must do on offense:
He has to keep attacking Boozer every chance he gets. Carlos Boozer is very passive on defense and probably a worse help defender than man. With Duncan picking and rolling or popping for most of the time, he'll be leaving Boozer thinking twice about his defensive assignments. That will help the Spurs break the Bulls'...

Spurs still a well-oiled machine without Parker
For all those riding along on the Tony Parker MVP Bandwagon, the road to the Maurice Podoloff Trophy has hit a few potholes. And it's not because Parker is out for a month with a bum ankle.
No, because the Spurs never seem to hit any potholes.
San Antonio just keeps winning, moving to 2-0 without Parker after rolling over the Chicago Bulls in the second half in Wednesday...

In a recent interview with BasketUSA.com, De Colo discusses various random subjects and you also can get the feel for how his teammates are off the court in San Antonio.

Tony Parker turned 30 this season, just two days prior to the San Antonio Spurs' 86-84 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Parker drained the game-winning bucket -- a wide-open mid-range shot, created by both pristine offensive execution and Russell Westbrook's costly defensive mishap. It was a sign of things to come.
Since then, the Frenchman has produced his finest...

Thibs is all business, all game long, even in blowouts
It's widely-known around the NBA that the head coach of the Chicago Bulls, former Celtics assistant Tom Thibodeau, doesn't take crap from very many people and also doesn't care very much about what others think of him team, himself, or even his actions as coach.

March 06, 2013
I’ll admit it. I was wrong about San Antonio Spurs' Matt Bonner in the three-point contest this year. He wasn’t too slow, his form didn’t hinder his performance and if it wasn’t for the special “clutch gene” flowing in Kyrie Irving’s blood, Bonner would have probably taken home the trophy.
Recently, Bonner joined Paul Shirley and Justin Halpern on their podcast...

State of the Spurs: Fine without Parker?
It is a cruel-but-ironic twist that nobody outside of LeBron James has done more damage to Tony Parker's long-shot MVP candidacy than Parker's own teammates.
The Spurs point guard out hurt. An ankle injury is expected to keep him away four weeks. "The Spurs hardly even realize he's gone" is saying too much, but they did crush the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday...

That’s the kind of **** that was coming from my nose two weeks ago while battling a sinus infection. Seriously, I used 2.5 rolls of toilet paper over three days during that war. And the snot was canary yellow.
As for Boris Diaw’s snot issues, it just seems that the Spurs big guy was fine last night after clearing this hog.
He finished with five points on 2-3 shooting in the Spurs...

In today’s NBA with such a prevalent “me” first attitude it is refreshing when you get a player who works hard but still embraces the team first attitude and his role.
