Two Eastern Conference teams that have failed to find consistency this season will meet up in Philadelphia Sunday evening when the wounded 76ers welcome in the battered Bulls into the Wachovia Center.

The Bulls (7-9) are 2-4 in their last six contests and lost at San Antonio Wednesday night 98-88. Ben Gordon did his best to try and lift Chicago to victory in consecutive games for the first time since November 13-15, but ultimately the Spurs were too much. Gordon led Chicago in points with 23 points. Drew Gooden also tried his best by netting 20 points and leading the squad with 12 boards.

The Bulls truly love home cooking. They are 5-2 in the Windy City, but 2-7 on the road, where they will be Sunday evening. Philadelphia (7-9) also enjoys its city’s cheese steaks as they have posted a 5-3 home record in an otherwise dismal early season.

Like the Bulls, the Sixers enter this contest a loser of their last game, but unlike Chicago, Philadelphia has not alternated wins and losses as of late, they have just lost. The 76ers will be looking to avoid a four-game losing skid when they play the Bulls. In addition to the three losses in a row, the team has also lost four of six.

Friday night, the 76ers were the latest victim in the Celtics’ hit parade when they lost in Boston 102-78. Many of the starters played rather poorly Friday, including Samuel Dalemport who recorded a goose egg in points and only took two shots from the field. Elton Brand led all Philly scorers with only 18 and Louis Williams was second with 15 off the bench.

Philadelphia took three of the four games between the two franchises last year with the 76ers winning both games at home. The Bulls have lost five of the last eight games played to Philadelphia and last won in the Wachovia Center in 2006.
