Loss to Suns tells us three things.

It's pretty clear there are 3 messages to take home from yesterday's loss to the Suns by 20 points.
  1. Both Baby Bulls - Curry and Chandler - are not NBA starters. Yes they are big but they are not effective and don't know plays or how to play team defense.
  2. The small Bulls line-up lost to the small Suns line-up. Size matters in the NBA but even if we go small, we don't have a good small sized team.
  3. We're going to struggle to win 20 games this season but we know Skiles and Paxson will not play players (or keep them) if they give an half-assed effort nor will they keep players who do not improve their team effort.

I thought, prior to the Sun's explosive start, that the Bulls could beat this "small team" them at home with help from the Baby Bulls.  The Suns are better than I guessed and the Bulls far worse.  As for the Baby Bulls - it's not just conditioning but fundamental knowledge about the game and mental laziness.  They suck.
