A Tale Of Two Chicago Big Men

Feb 28, 2005 12:45 PM EST

It seems that when one is playing well, the other struggles. In the seasons early going Eddie Curry was the Bulls go-to big man while Tyson Chandler was nowhere to be seen. Lately, Chandler has become the Bulls' fourth-quarter closer, blocking shots, patrolling the paint, snaring rebounds. Curry can barely find the court at crunch time, having played two fourth-quarter minutes in the last two games, part of his four-game funk.

Curry is nursing a sore hamstring and amid the Bulls winning has been silent about his frustrations. "I have to be more consistent on defense and rebounding," he said.

"At this point, I know I'm going to be out there for awhile in the fourth," Chandler said. "Coach [Scott Skiles] is letting me get into a groove, so I'm comfortable out there and that gives me confidence.

"I have to be the floor general and keep everything intact defensively. I know other players will do their thing offensively. When it comes to the other end, I feel like I'm the captain out there. I love the respect that [Skiles] shows me."
