    Jackson Vroman/Luol Deng

    Note: Luol Deng has a chance to slip into the Bulls starting lineup, either for Othella Harrington or Andres Nocioni after 2 outstanding performances, where he is averageing 20+ points.</div>

    A bit of a surprise here but both Ben Gordon and Quentin Richardson are due for impressive games. Quentin hasn't been known throughout his career to be a defensive specialist, Gordon is slightly undersized also. I'll expect 18+ point performances from both players.

    The big match. Amare Stoudemire and Eddy Curry are both very physical players in the post. Curry is playing his first game of the season after his suspenion for the fight involing Brandon Haywood in a pre-season game. Both players are evolving into big time players. Should be a great matchup to look for down low.
    -----------------------

    Keys to the Game:

    -Get Eddy Curry into foul trouble

    -Don't let both of the rookies for Chiago (Gordon and Deng) have breakout rookie games. Don't let Deng have the same type of performance that he had against Indiana.

    -Run, Run, and Run some more, the Suns have to do what they do best with this small quick lineup and that is run.

    <font size="2">Courtking's Prediction:</font> 100-92 Suns move to 4-0 :thumbsup:

    Nice preview, although I'd suggest that you go more in depth in the analysis of the game. The Suns are undefeated so far this season, a very surprising feat from a team that was not projected to go into the playoffs. However, the Chicago Bulls might stand to be a threat to break their perfect record. Although the Bulls are young and inexperienced, their top players Curry, Hinrich and Gordon can go for big games any night. If two of the aforementioned three players can combine to score 40 points, the Suns might find it hard to keep their perfect start alive.

    I was but I got practice soon and by the time I get back and get a chance to edit the post the game will be started. Should be an uptempo game though, both teams are young, quick, and on the raise in their conferences.
