Over the last couple of years the Chicago Bulls have started to make some noise in the eastern conference. But, the Bulls are struggling a bit to start of this year, winning only one of their first six games. What the Bulls need to get back on track is a couple games against less than spectacular teams. Problem is, they won’t get that at Phoenix. The Suns are led by two time NBA MVP Steve Nash. This season Nash is averaging 22.9 points per game and just under nine assists per game. The nearly 23 points per game is almost ten points above his career average of 14 per game. To say he’s off to a great start would be an understatement. The Bulls are led by former sixth man Ben Gordon. Gordon is off to a good start, averaging 18 points a game, but he isn’t getting much help from teammates at this point. Their one win of the year came against a decent team, the Detroit Pistons, so Bulls fans know the potential is there, they are just waiting for it all to click. Chicago currently lacks a defensive presence, mainly because Ben Wallace has been battling injuries all year, and even before that he has struggled to be the force he once was. Tough game for Chicago here. As long as Phoenix doesn’t take the Bulls for granted, which would be hard to believe with a leader like Nash, I think the Suns take this one fairly easily.
