"After losing just twice over a 35-game stretch, the Phoenix Suns have been defeated three times in their last six contests.

The Suns (39-11) look to get back to their dominating ways Sunday when they host the Chicago Bulls, a team they haven't lost to at home in more than 10 years. "


"Nash said he was feeling better Friday, and his coach sounded confident the five-time All-Star could be back in the lineup against the Bulls."


Hopefully Nash doesn't play, go bulls. Be sure to get your picks to click in

I dont think theyll risk Nash after the Stoudamire fiasco last year. Hopefully not at least.

yes sir, this will be tough game.. again.

I believe where 2-4 on the road trip. Lets not go 2-5.
please.

don't forget to get your picks to click in.

"Suns' coach Mike D’Antoni said the two-time MVP is likely to sit out his third straight game tonight when Chicago visits the Suns."


Good news for the bulls.

they showed a clip of Nash walking into the arena on esp, they said its a game time decision.

Hot-lanta got them last nite...the Bulls need a win to go 3-4 on da trip!!! Captain Kirk is avg. 21 points on the trip...GO BULLS!!!

Hinrich and Deng are going to have monster nights.

Nash is out

official Nash is out.
Is it just me or is tyrus thomas getting Alot of playing time? Im fine with it, esp. with noc out, but anyone else notice this?

He's starting tonight, 2 blocks. v. nice

Thomas off to a great start

wow @ Krhyapa nice end of quarter.

VERY solid first quarter. Nice to finally get off on the right foot, lets just keep it going for all 4 quarters now.

yes...all quarters...go Bulls...get Jim Grey off the air...what a chump!

Jalen who???

Off Topic : Nash is a hell of a stud, his numbers are up from last year, he is just crazy. Thank God we dont have to play him here.

bulls doing their annual "Come get back in the game" portion of the night, as the suns start a run.

way to drain it Kirk!!!!

Yes sir, if theres one bright spot of this road trip its been kirk doing v. well, same with duhon.

Good first half for bulls, Nice lead. Just finish the game now. and go 3-4 on the west coast trip = decent.

24 minutes to go...win the game! win the game! win the game!

God it would be depressing to trade Deng

hereee we go.
Bulls have done a very good job going to the whole, and getting rebounds. Wallace is looking v. nice to me.

Stop blowing leads you bastages

this team is so depressing.

10 turnovers in a freaking quarter?

Terrible Terrible quarter..
God damit. this got ugly, really fast.

and outscored 2-1 this quarter...32-16....saaad!

Barbosa just got crossed by Hinrich 7-0 run!

If theres anything good about these games, its teaching us pressure situations.

Ben wallace can't dunk. he was wide open and missed it. tyson chandler would hammer that down.

Finish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4rth quarter is a breath of fresh air so far. Got un ugly very fast...

Amare with the 5th foul.... nice play kirk

Looks like Ben Gordon hurt his finger... he is having it wrapped.

atta boy Kirk!!!!

damn Hinrich is looking good this quarter

You know it!!! Kirk is Mr. Clutch tonight...or as Anthony said lights out!

Are they intentionally fouling or something?

So far, So good =]

yup, intentionally fouling

Don't think the Bulls can blow this one,

Good win tonight.

Indeed a good win.
Tommorow = big day for mr. ronnie (me)

Get unbanned from Soxtalk .
And possibly get my drivers license . God, Im nervous.


Big bulls win.

29 for Captain Kirk...5-7 from downtown...that will make ya forget the #5- TO's and fouls he had.

Whats the story with PJ brown? Is he hurt? Or is a trade coming?



bwahahaha Suns lose by more then nine points for the first time in 50 games.

This was a big win, the backcourt played great.

The Hinrich Manuever!He played big today!

How did every1 think big ben played today?

There were alot of times were hed have a big rebound if i remember correctly, tho I may have just seen glimpses of the game, cuase i was watching on and off.

Further evidence that Steve Nash is in fact the unquestioned MVP of the league...

I agree, they are completely a different team without him. We relatively just spanked them at home.

That was a nice game. We still had one of those spans where our offense was completely useless but the 3 headed monster came up huge.

I also must say that when Tyrus Thomas is in the game he is a difference maker. He makes plays that help get our team in transition and he gets us a lot of second chance points. He's still nowhere near to being a good NBA player but he should be getting Noc's minutes, not Kryapa, imo.

Even with Nash out this was a huge win for the Bulls.

Indeed huge win.

And I also agree with tyrus in the lineup, its a difference maker.

Footnote to this game the Bulls ended the longest streak in NBA history from the start of the season not having a game losing by 10 points or more at all. This was Phoenix's first double digit loss, breaking the streak by the 97-98 Bulls of 45 games.
