The Suns are right back at it on Saturday playing the Bulls in Chicago in the second of back-to-back games.

Bulls (19-37) have lose seven games in a row. In their last outing on Thursday they lost at home to the Hornets 103-93.

Suns (22-34) hope to bounce back after losing to the Raptors before they play at the Jazz on Monday.

Start time is scheduled for 6 p.m. MST (Arizona time).

It will be televised on FSAZ.

I'd like to see Jevon Carter first guard off the bench in Chicago.

Monty called his rotations “not great” in first game in more than a month with nearly a full roster: “I just got to get a rhythm as to when to get guys in and which combinations are gonna work, especially in the second unit.” #Suns

It's painfully obvious that Carter needs to come in before Okobo or Jerome, i just don't get it. Just like Bridges finally becoming a starter, what took so long to realize and adjust?

Yeah. I thought we were beyond that. Carter brings more to the table as first guard off the bench. His aggressive defense against Lowry was the reason the Suns made a run.

Here is the Suns injury report.

Ayton, Baynes, Okobo and Saric are all still on the injury report again as probable for tonight's game in Chicago.

Kaminsky remains out.

We can lose to anybody but looking over that lineup I'd say this is one of those few games that we really should win. Not that that means anything.

Game about to tipoff.

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton should dominate tonight with an heavy emphasis on "should."

 

[Mainstreet]

Ty Jerome was the first point guard off the bench, not Jevon Carter.

 

[Mainstreet]

End of 1st quarter:

Bulls 24 - Suns 22

 

[Mainstreet]

Ayton has had a couple of shots blocked by my count. This shouldn't happen against the depleted Bulls.

 

[Dingding]

Jerome sucks

 

[Mainstreet]

The Suns bench has scored 0 points.

 

[Mainstreet]

Jerome sucks

A lot of that going around tonight.

 

[AsUpRoDiGy]

Ayton is turning it over seemingly every possession.

Ayton is turning it over seemingly every possession.

And again.

National Margarita Day! Only thing good about this game is I am having a Margarita now.

Boy, Monty looks bad in that he hasn't trained his guys in how to throw the ball into the post.

I'm feeling like I need one.

 

[Mainstreet]

Suns are trailing 33-26 if anyone is wondering about the score.

 

[JerkFace]

Ayton started on fire but has preceded to puke all over himself on pretty much every possession since.

 

[Mainstreet]

Bolden getting some minutes.

 

[Yuma]

Coby White looked good.

Sorry, can't watch anymore. Just can't take it.
