Scott Skiles slightly altered the team?s starting lineup for the Bulls? game tonight against the Phoenix Suns.

"The thinking behind it is with Kirk, BG, and Lu; we?ve got to get them going," Skiles said of the slumping trio, all of whom are well under their averages from last season. "One way to possibly get them going is to get them a little more space out there to operate. Noce helps us with that. The other part is Tyrus has played well with Joe Smith. So we?re thinking we may get a lift [offensively] out of the second unit, too."

Skiles said his 1-5 team is "fragile" right now.

"I don't know any way else to put it," he said.
