this sucks the suns caught up, gordon once again struggled and its always jumpshot jumpshot and jumpshot, if hes not aggresive enough to drive to the basket, he'll keep struggle a player cant always rely on his jumpshots
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">All-Star Shawn Marion was too much for the Chicago Bulls to handle. Marion scored eight of his 28 points in overtime and grabbed 16 rebounds for his 20th double-double of the season as the Phoenix Suns rallied for their fifth straight win, posting a 107-98 victory over the Bulls. Raja Ball scored 19 points and Steve Nash added 14 points and 10 assists for the Suns, who have won 16 of their last 21 contests. Eddie House's 3-pointer with 1:42 remaining in the extra period capped off a 9-2 spurt as Phoenix opened a 101-94 lead. The Suns outscored Chicago in overtime, 15-6. Daruis Songaila split a pair of free throws with 18 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to give the Bulls a 92-90 lead. But Nash found Marion under the rim for an easy layup, tying the game with six seconds left. The Bulls had a chance to win the game in regulation but Ben Gordon missed a jumper over the outstretched hand of Marion at the buzzer. Chicago held a 75-69 lead at the start of the fourth quarter but Phoenix chipped away. Marion's offensive rebound and basket closed the gap as the Suns pulled within 88-86. The Suns struggled from the arc, making just 5-of-23 shots but forced 18 turnovers. Kirk Hinrich scored 25 points and Luol Deng collected 16 and 14 rebounds for the Bulls, who lost their sixth game in a row. Chicago shot 43 percent (41-of-95) from the field. </div> <div align="center"><font size=""1""> Recap l Box Score</font></div> Well the loses continue to pile up. I did not expect a win in this game anyway, but after having a lead so late in this game that collapse was our whole season in a nut shell. We can compete with teams that is not our problem, but we have no star to go to at the end that has ice water in his veins, and can be a clutch option. This new lineup won?t help us one bit I think Skiles was probably at a party last night and had a little too much to drink. Honestly though how can you expect a team to compete with anyone when you have a 6?3? player trying to guard a player who has five inches on him? I guess the Bulls are making a push at being the only team in NBA history to have the top two overall picks in one draft.
somebody could have gave gordon a pick when he went up against a 6-7 shot blocker long arm shawn marion
I just read on realgm how Skiles is preparing to shake up the lineup and is even considering putting Hinrich on the bench?! Why would you have your best player not in your starting lineup?

He did not move Hinrich to the bench even though it was rumored as well as discussed in another thread. http://www.justbball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48189
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting I-Miss-MJ:</div><div class="quote_post">Sweetney didnt even play did he? why not?</div> <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">After starting the previous 21 games, Bulls forward/center Michael Sweetney found himself out of the starting lineup Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns. That much was somewhat expected. Coach Scott Skiles had said he was going to shuffle the lineup, and Sweetney had a feeling he might be one of the odd men out after a couple of so-so practices. But what had to catch the 6-8, 270-pound Sweetney by surprise was that he never got off the bench during the Bulls' 107-98 overtime loss -- his first DNP-CD (did not play, coach's decision) of the season. Skiles had said Friday that a couple of players had taken a step back in practice. After Saturday's game, he was asked if Sweetney was one of those players and if that was the reason he didn't play. ''This was a difficult game for Mike to play in, just because of the pace of the game and the matchups out there,'' Skiles said. ''Rather than try to take guys in and out every time they take guys in and out -- several times [6-8 Boris] Diaw was the biggest player they had on the floor -- we tried to shorten the rotation, keep the smaller guys out there, so we didn't have to do that that much.''</div> <div align="center">Source</div>
