Our speed could be the big factor tonight. Sure, they have a lot of size, but they are also big men that played a double overtime game last night. We can literally run them out of the gym.

Dont forget the overtime win in GSW on Tuesday. You can tell at the end of the double OT in LA they were tired with the exception of Brooks.
This is also AZ were all teams seem to regain a lost mojo when playing in the valley

Should be some interesting match-ups. Who does Tucker guard?

And I'm still waiting for someone to explain the "obvious attempt at humor" in devil's post and how a new member would recognize it as such.

That's a valid point. I assume that any new poster has been lurking for quite a while, but that may not be the case.

I dunno, I feel like this is a proper welcome given the climate of this place recently. Better to let him know what he is getting into straight off the bat.

Man Derrick Rose has just fallen off the cliff since that MVP year.

It just makes me appreciate Steve Nash more.

In regard to name calling, it should not be permitted for a new poster or an old poster. It minimally calls for a warning or in some cases, a ban. In this case, a warning has been given.

Lets try and blow them out and rest our starters.

We have a big game against GSW tomorrow night.

D. Rose put up 30 points on Golden State a few days ago. But he had 11 turnovers in the win there. Wow. Against LA last night, he shot 7-26. Wow, Wow. He is shooting .395 from the field, very Kobe-esque.

Bulls haven't lost in Phoenix in a very long time. Maybe it's cause of the nice weather in contrast to Chicago weather but that needs to change today.

If the Suns win, I think the Suns bench is going to have to get them over the hump.

Len with 1 personal foul. Needless to say, he needs to stay out of foul trouble. How good would Pau Gasol look in a Suns uniform?

The Suns look like the team that's playing on the second night of a back to back and third night in four days.

A weak start.

It's sad to watch Kieff try to box out any of Chicago's big men. It's like he's an 8 year old while they are all men.

We could have found out last year.

He wasn't going to stay a Sun when he became a FA and the Suns would have had to give up a lot to get him. Also if I recall correctly he was injured a lot last season.

IT with a big 3 to end the 1st quarter. Usually the Suns never get a good shot off to end a quarter. Caveat: IT really did not have a good look as he was continually fouled outside before he took the shot.

Don't get me wrong, I was against the idea of trading for him.

If the Suns could have gotten Pau for the right price and he committed to being a Sun long term, I would not have been against getting him. However, I don't think he wanted to be a Sun.

Stop calling Mirotic "Teletovic". Good Lord, ESPN announcers are making me want to to listen to Steve Albert.

I have been very effective in tuning Albert out and just listening to Eddie Johnson.
