NBA News - Manu On Fire But Chapu Was Off

Dallas Mavericks 81 San Antonio Spurs 88

After having a couple of low outings, Manu GINOBILI was back to his very best. Not even getting in the face from the Mav’s Jerry STACKHOUSE could stop him from a tremendous game.

“It’s not a big deal,” Manu said. “We were both competing.”

Manu led San Antonio with 26 points. He started the game-breaking rally with a layup and a 3-pointer, then hit a 3 to cap it. He also was 11-of-11 from the foul line.
“When we were losing, we were flat. We had no emotion,” Manu said. “We needed a game like this. It’s good to see us react like this.”

He also dished out 8 rebounds, a game high 6 assists, 1 block shot & 1 steal in the process.

Fabricio OBERTO, being a starter, also had a good game 4 points, 5 rebounds & 1 block shot.

Toronto Raptors 100 Denver Nuggets 109

I’m a little bit concern here as I’ve realized that Carlos DELFINO’s has been reducing in recent games. Not so sure whether he was having off form situation.

In the defeat he had little contribution, playing only for 6 plus minutes and posting just one assist.

Chapu Rages At Coach Boylan

It wasn’t a happy ending night for the Bulls in their last match against the Indiana Pacers. Not only they blew a 13-point lead to loose the game but also heated argument took place on the Bulls bench between Andres NOCIONI & coach Jim BOYLAN.

Chapu was furious for being sent to the bench after only 2 minutes and 44 seconds of time playing.

When NOCIONI continued to vent loudly while sitting on the bench, BOYLAN stepped in and kicked him off the bench. The 6-7 forward spent the rest of the game in the locker room.


BOYLAN refused to discuss the matter after the game, saying only that it will be handled internally.

Chapu didn't answer questions, but he did make a statement in the locker room afterward:
''First of all, I want to apologize to my coach. I did a really bad thing tonight. My attitude was terrible. I'd also like to apologize to the entire organization and [general manager] John PAXSON. I'd like to apologize to my teammates. My actions tonight were really bad.''

I really do hope the both Chapu & the Bulls will put this unwanted episode behind them and move on from here. They still have an outside chance of making it to the play-off.

That was a great game by Manu. As usual, he made big plays and also stayed cool during the dirty throw-down by Stackhouse.

I believed the Bulls could take the Eastern Finals last year and I thought they would beat Miami the year before that. But I don't feel they're going to make it in this year. Still, I hope they keep certain players around for next season... Nocioni being one of them.
