We took Chicago yesterday in their game at Sacramento, but they laid an egg and got crushed by the Kings.

"Their speed and athleticism, physicality and toughness overpowered us," head coach Jim Boylen told reporters afterward. "We lost the boards and we lost the turnover game, which you can't do on the road. Our starters need to play better. They know it, and they have to play better."

However, the Bulls have a good chance to bounce back at Phoenix tonight, as the Suns have no incentive to win this game, as a win would put them close to Chicago in the wins column and that could possibly remove Phoenix from the bottom 3 in the league, which would decrease their chances of landing a top draft pick this Summer. Maybe because of that, the Suns will be playing without Johnson, Oubre and Holmes tonight. Oubre has been the team's #2 best player behind Booker recently and without him, the Suns will only have Booker as a dangerous playmaker on the backcourt. I believe that even with Porter out, Chicago will have more weapons available and will win this game. I'm taking the Bulls tonight.
