Chauncey's numbers against Philly tonight:  12 points on 10 shots, 9 
assists to only 1 turnover, 3 steals and a nice job on Iverson (5 for 
16).  Are we satisfied yet?  Can we forget the trade talk yet?  
(Especially for Sprewell -- rumor has it that his track on the next "NBA 
Raps" CD will be "Coach Killa".  And for those of you who are so excited 
about potentially losing Minor's or Barros' salary in such a deal, bear 
in mind that Spree signed a HUGE deal a season or so ago -- I think he 
has 5 years left at $7MM per).

Sure, Chauncey made a couple of bad decisions down the stretch and 
Pitino sat him.  But so what?  HE'S A ROOKIE.  HE'S PLAYED IN ALL OF 
NINE NBA GAMES.  He may be more of a "guard guard" than a classic point, 
but who cares?  We have him for three years -- let's see what develops.
