Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Bulls only have 12 points, so Skiles takes out Hinrich and Nocioni. Down 7, I guess we need stops or something.</p> </p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) I think Nocioni could of stayed in. He was missing, but getting good looks.</p> On the bright side, Wallace is starting to look good. Maybe it was an ankle injury after all...and thats a big sigh of relief if Wallace continues playing good.</p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Bulls have made this close again. With Hinrich and Nocioni and Wallace out. Duhon is playing great D and playing fine PG. Smith hits a shot within 1 minute of getting in the game.</p> </p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) I wonder how far Kirk is getting to getting benched for Duhon. I could see Skiles using this. Gordon played into Skiles favor this offseason with his hardworking offseason that was primarily at the Berto.</p> Duhon seems to run the team very good, and he isn't an offensive liability when with playes like Gordon/Deng out there.</p>

Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Hinrich's clearly struggling, but I doubt he's in anyone's doghouse.</p> Play near the end of the Q says it all. Hinrich basically threw the ball away, but it was tipped a few times by PHX defenders and ends up in Noc's hands for a 2' shot/make. Plays like that are keeping the Bulls in the game.</p> Phoenix has some amazing athletes who can really play.</p> Thomas played a lot of the Q, but seemed entirely invisible, except when he was commiting fouls.</p> </p> </p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Yeah Wallace looks alright.</p> What's wrong with Kirk? Not only is he missing shots but a lot of his passes are getting deflected. You can tell he doesn't have very much confidence right now.</p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Looks to me like Grant Hill is playing PG for Phoenix.</p> </p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Gordon as the first option, Nocioni as the 2nd option, and Deng as the 3rd option seems to be working pretty well for this team so far.</p>

He's missed wide open and uncontested shots that should be gimmes.</p> </p> </p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Hinrich almost got benched for Gardner (he was set to check in)...Duhon checked in instead after the timeout.</p> NVM...that is Gardner.</p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Phoenix is playing without Nash for most of this game.</p> Gordon is down.</p> </p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) The Bulls missed Thomas in the starting lineup. It's a testament to how well he is playing. Oh crap, Gordon goes down. Perfect.</p>
Re: NBA: CHICAGO (1-5) at PHOENIX (6-2) Dammit...Gordon hurt his knee. The seasons a wash. Might as well tank for Rose now.</p>
