Nocioni cries foul too much and when you fall on the floor every other play against a team that runs like the Suns your destroying your teams chances. I still think Noc is good but he whines so much on the floor.

No freaking spiff, you gotta switch that or something...no way you let Barbosa get that nice of a look. FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK Nash/Marion/Amare has to be the best trio in the league. Nash wasn't even great tonight but Marion/Amare were freaking monsters. The Suns, not the Mavs, are in the finals last year with a healthy Amare/Thomas. I think they beat the Heat as well. If they're healthy come playoff time, they're my pick in a stacked west. |

Our first lost leading into the 4th this year?

God I love teh Suns, but tonight they make me sick. Easily my favorite team in the West. They were tough as fish last year without one of the best interior players in the league, sick. |

They were tough as fish last year without one of the best interior players in the league, sick. I live in Phoenix...and I still hate 'em. Did anybody else seem to think that every time...EVERY time Phoenix came out of a timeout...D'Antoni had a set play that scored? God that game was a kick in the nuts. And please...get well quick Kirk so I don't have to see much of Duhon anymore. |

Wow, that's a tough one to swallow. Although I did have the feeling someone on Phoenix was going to make a big shot. There was just way too much time left on the clock. I really wish Gordon would have held the ball a little longer the second before, but with the easy two coming from Nash's foul, I can see why he put the shot up.
I really hope, even in a loss, this game gives them a lot of confidence. They should be thinking of how tough they played one of the best teams in the league without Kirk Hinrich. Or the opposite could happen, and they slump a bit. Hope that doesn't happen. Great job by BG7: 41 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists. He is quickly becoming the most important player on our team. I see big money in store for him. Also, I don't know if you guys have or not, but I have been voting for the All-Star game everyday. I urge you guys to vote for Deng, Wallace, Gordon, and Hinrich, just so when the coaches decide the reserves they look at our guys and see there is some support for them. Peace out. |

Sorry....I'd have a hard time voting for Wallace as an All-Star. |

Sorry....I'd have a hard time voting for Wallace as an All-Star. Why? His numbers are down, but I have no problem voting for him. He's more worthy than Shaq who will be getting a starting spot after sitting on the bench for half the season. Shaq is leading in votes for center over DWIGHT HOWARD! Maybe fans shouldn't vote at all. I mean, Jason Kidd was flirting with averaging a triple-double for awhile and will have to get appointed an All-Star spot by the coaches, Howard can't beat Shaq in voting. Sickening. The reason I've been voting for the Bulls players is because everyone else votes by their favorites. Under that logic I have no problem voting for Big Ben. |

He just hasn't had the impact he's getting paid to have. How the hell are the Bulls 18th in fg% defense after ranking 1st the previous two years? |

While he may not be helping, I would say our guards are preventing penetration much more poorly than they have in the past 2 years. |

Ugggghhhhhhhhh On any other night, I respect the Suns, tonight...well I hate em! Bulls played and proved they can run with them...I would rather lose by one point than get blown out...still that was a tough one. Oh yeah and is Ben Gordon filling the void of "we do not have a scorer" yet??

Damn. That really hurts. They led the whole damned game, only to give it away at the end. I really can't believe we contained Steve Nash that well, even with Kirk out of the game. Once again, Chris Duhon deserves some big credit for his D, as does the whole Bulls team. They really held down Phoenix, they just couldn't execute themselves when it mattered.

Even if we lost, I think there's some good in it...at least I'll probably think there's some good in any game where the Bulls take Phoenix down to the wire and hold the Suns to 43 points in the first half and under 100 for the game. They play THAT sort of defense, get it fully in sync gradually but peaking around playoff time, and suddenly this team becomes a threat to anyone. |

QUOTE LEG UP: On Leandro Barbosa's game-winning 3, Steve Nash used his left leg in a tripping movement to force Ben Gordon inside and give Barbosa the space he needed to pull the shot. Had Gordon not tried to avoid Nash's leg and allowed himself to be tripped, I'm not sure if the officials would have called the foul on Nash, although it was clear that he was a moving screener. "Stripes" hate to make game-deciding calls on off-the-ball actions. ^^^from the dailing dime at espn.com |
