Do it!

Hopefully the boys bring their track shoes today...

Make the Suns play your game. You cannot win this game if you try to outrun the Suns.

This is an important game. Im curious to see how we stack up to the elite teams in the west at home. Im also curious to see how we match up with them athletically.

Anyone know if Hinrich and Wallace are feeling better and ready to be in the lineup?

Hinrichs still listed as day to day but Im sure hell play this game and Wallace isnt onthe injury report at all.

I don't think Hinrich plays tonight...


have you put your pick to clicks in?

Thabo to start for Hinrich per the radio

If the Bulls want to be elite they need to continue to defend their home court

that will be good seeing thabo on raja bell two tall guards. Should be a good game.

I hate this starting line up... Deng and Nocioni are the only scoring options

Even Nocioni has been kinda disappointing lately.

30 minutes to tip... I'm excited!

I think Gordon is gonna get a lot of minutes this game to keep us flowing offensively. Im very excited to see this game.

We need to watch the pick and roll. Thats killing us.

Big ben has looked really solid so far...

When he plays aggrsive offensively its a good change of pace for us.

Were looking good so far.

Thabo doesn't look so hot tonight

this new ball is killing the Suns...

Deng and Gordon aren't helping them much either.

Hinrichs 26th birthday today..

Bulls lookin good.

To bad Tyrus Thomas is one of the least skilled offensive players ever, yikes.

Gordon + Deng = good as usual

Gordon covering Nash... this could get scary

Our offense definitely is dealing with the new ball better then phoenix

Well it was a great quarter and a half of defense, with the Bulls only giving up 26 points in that span. All of the sudden the Phoenix O has reaasserted itself. The Bulls need to stop the bleeding quickly.

LMAO Deng arguing a call and the ref doesn't wanna listen so Skiles clearly yells...
"You better listen to him he never says anything to anybody!"

Went to a shot of Skiles at the wrong time as he said, "F*cking b*tch" about the bad call on Noc.

I'm terrified that they are going to T up Nocioni everytime he fouls... he needs to keep his emotions in check with these facist refs.

55-43 at the half. HOlding PHo to 43 pts in a half is huge, hell many teams can't hold them to 43 in a quarter. The Bulls offensive flow has actually looked better than the Suns to be honest. Now we have to hope that the Bulls legs hold up for the second half. Excellent game so far, and kudos to Chris for the effort so far on Nash.

Nice play by Deng

Amare decided to show up... ugly start to the third...

Even though the Bulls couldn't shoot, Phoenix only scored 20 in the 3rd. Closed the gap some, but the Bulls still kept them behind. Need to hit our shots in the 4th, big time.

They need to get Gordon more involved on the offense.

The offense as a whole needs to step it up. They stand there and hope someone does somethings. They need to run more without the ball. Better ball movement and more activity on offense.

Bulls are 2/7 in the 4th quarter if I'm counting right.

Just hit a few shots and this game is over.

Ref's must be from Arizona.

Amare is simply amazing.

Heh.

Noc got molested but no whistle

Noc with a double double, deng close to one

This is one of the first times I can recall Little Ben being in foul trouble.

Ben Gordon with a helluva play!

When Gordon is getting to the line he is a huge offensive lift. His driving has gotten much better as of late.

If he wants to be a dominant player in this league, that's exactly what he needs to do. Get into the lane and get the driving working. The outside shot will probably always be there, but if you want to be great, you have to drive the lane. It dismantles the other team's defense, creates open shots for teammantes, and draws fouls.

Either Nocioni flops all the time or he gets hammered on every play.

Nocioni is playing like spiff in the 4th

He ends up on the ground and gets called for a foul.

Huge shot by Ben

Please, just no 3s

Wow, we cant let them get anything tricky on offense.

Ben hits both free throws. This is huge. It's all on the defense now. And all this without Kirk.

Isn't that a new career high for Gordon, 41?

You gotta be kidding me
