Phoenix Suns vs. Chicago Bulls game thread

[Evil Ash]

Well, this should be interesting...

 

[100%CardsFan]

To say the least.....

 

[arthurracoon]

Barbosa is going to get the start and he will see a lot of playing time for a while.

Scott Williams has been placed on the injured list for 5 games to make the trade.

 

[arthurracoon]

B. Colongalo is on and says the trade is about the future and financial flexibility.

 

[arthurracoon]

D'Antoni is very excited about the foregin players.

 

[Billythekid]

Will be interesting.

Lets GO SUNS!!!

 

[jbeecham]

I think the Suns will be lucky to break 70 pts.

I just killed the other game thread, because I do think it is much better to have just one thread on the same topic. This could be ugly, but it will be interesting to see how they play tonight. If either JJ or Shawn Marion had a bad night shooting the Suns are going to lose by double digits.

Hopefully Barbosa will have a great game.

12+ points 4+assists 2+steals

 

[Billythekid]

suns will play real loose. Should be good to see what barbosa can do running the whole show.

I give the Suns a good shot at winning tonight, only because it's the Pathetic Bulls.

If the first 5 minutes are an indicator ... they will be lucky to score 50!

According NBA.com box scores Ben Wallace is on the bench for us.

I like the trade!

Shawn Marion MUST start playing much better. Casey Jacobsen just passed on a wide-open three-point shot. He has backed to fire lay on those shots. That is what he is here for.

Ouch, that stings

 

[slinslin]

LOL

16-3 Bulls 4 minutes to play in the first?

#1 pick here we come.

 

[slinslin]

Man why is Googs playing? WHY? WHY? Couldn't he go to the IR?


18-3 first quarter almost over.

 

[Joe Mama]

Joe Johnson should be posting up every time down the floor.

I know I was positive about Casey Jacobsen for a few games this season, but he is not an NBA player. He plays decent defense, but he does nothing on offense.

Chicago is just packing the middle of the floor and giving the Phoenix Suns nothing inside.

They have only scored one basket with under four minutes left in the first quarter.

They should have placed Tom Gugliotta on the injured list instead of Scott Williams. I'm not sure what they were thinking there.

You mean 1 for 12 shooting isn't good enough for you?!

 

[KloD]

On a side note...
Today's trade must take away a little from Scott Skiles as I'm sure he wanted to win tonight in a game, not have it handed to them by an understaffed Suns squad. I guess he will just be glad to get the W. Is this on television? Could it be the only Bulls game to not be on WGN or whatever the Chicago station is?

 

[Jerbob]

The only positive I can see from this so far is that we got a leading scorer in exchange for Archibald. The negative is that thus far Harvey is our only scorer with minutes left in the 1st.

Then we would be down to 7 players that are active today!

18-3 first quarter almost over.

Mercifully!!

Suns are hanging in there.

Barbosa has scored but hasn't really distriputed the ball.

If they inch closer you never know what might happen.
