Bulls @ Suns 3-18-19

[Mainstreet]

On Monday the Bulls visit the Suns for a 7 p.m. Arizona time game. It will be televised on FSAZ.

Bulls (19-51) have lost their last four games including a 128-121 loss to the Clippers on Friday. They play the Kings on Sunday so they will be playing the Suns on the second night of a back-to back.

The Suns (17-54) snapped a two game losing streak by beating the Pelicans 138-136 in overtime.

Only 11 games left in the season for the Suns.

Tyler Johnson and Richaun Holmes are questionable. Warren remains out.

I hope Johnson can play tomorrow. With how Bender's been playing, he can cover Homles' minutes, but the Suns really need Johnson to calm things down when things start going sideways.

I really think everyone questionable will be held out in this tank-a-palooza. I like seeing the Suns winning but Bulls right behind Suns in reverse standings thus kicking Suns out of the third seed. Very important game to lose...

 

[JCSunsfan]

Interesting fact. The Suns have won 6 of the last 10. Bender started 9 of those games.

 

[SirStefan32]

Heh, I just realized the Suns are playing the .500 basketball since the All Star Break! Forget the tankaton, I want that post-ASB winning record.

What is going on with Warren is confusing as heck..

How can you be out 2 months or so with just a sore ankle?

Someone said it was a bone bruise.

It looks like Oubre and Johnson are questionable.

Holmes and Warren are out.

I don't mind resting Oubre for this game.

@itlnsunsfan you get your wish.

The Suns are two games ahead of the Bulls in reverse standings.

Bulls lost to the Kings last night 129-102.

would be totally fine with losing this game... and it looks like the Suns are as well.

Dyin' for Zion.

I wouldn't be surprised to see any player with a hangnail sitting out.

tonight's the biggie tho... getting a 4 game cushion with 10 to go would mean we likely wouldn't have to tank any future games.

I came in here to opine about the Suns going full tank for Zion. Looks like I was late to the party.

They must’ve watched the ACC tourney.

It certainly would help with the Grizzlies and Cavaliers at home. Also games down the stretch can be unpredictable.

Coach has said it is pain tolerance.

IE, he doesn't want to play.

Bender time and I want Bridges to score 20. But still lose.

 

[Suns_fan69]

Sorry, nope, just can't do it. Can't root for the Suns to lose. I hope Booker goes off for another 40/12 with 4 or less TOs. I hope Bender cans 5 triples and continues to play solid defense. I hope Ayton realizes that actions speak louder than words and drops 25/15.

Intellectually I understand why they should lose this game, but I hope they still win.

Tanking cements a losing culture, as we have seen the last 5 years. No more talk of tanking, please.

Its a necessary evil. If the alternative is securing a player that propels the franchise for 10 years, a few tank jobs are rendured meaningless.

Were the tank jobs last year worth getting Ayton for 10 years?

I hate rooting for them to lose but if we put the hoo-raw aside, its stupid not to

Id bet if Dbook was truthful, hed agree

I am with you.
