What can i say, they were doing OK with only one of West and Diaw, then Pop introduced Bobo for LA and all went south.
It is pretty obvious that you cannot play the chubby towers tonight.

The bench carried the starters earlier in the season, tbh..they get a little benefit of the doubt, going forward..
Bad night tonight. I thought the physicality bothered them. Give the Bulls credit too, they did a great job on Gino (3 shot attempts as I'm writing this midway in the 4th), and didn't give up open looks...
One thing looking forward is Patty's performance at home vs the road... it feels the dip has been pretty big
terrible tonight...still they were better than the starters the first two week so cut them some slack bro..
Yep. Wonder what happened to them.
Bench has been terrible this game... Ugly but as others pointed out they have been solid so far... happens
Ginobili looking awfully similar to his 13' self, dude had a TO because he forgot to dribble
37 years old and he still hasn't learned about those low bball IQ fouls
Manu -17
Eh, no meltdown should happen tonight. Bulls are a good team. 5-1 at home, put a scare into Golden State on the road, and they usually give us trouble. Benches typically play worse on the road. Now if they go through a 5-6 game stretch playing like this, it might cause for concern. Manu is also a wildcard. Is he back and rejuvenated? Or was his early season play simply a result of being fresh from an off-season?
I'm also concerned why we've been so underwhelming in the 4th all year. How many sub-25 point quarters have we had?
We didn't even play the bench that much, they basically logged 17 mins...
By the negative comments in here it wasn't a good night.....Didn't watch the game tonight so im guessing it wasn't good at all......I had a feeling the spurs would lose tonight....I even said this morning that the spurs are due for a loss....guess I was right
17 of the worst minutes theyve logged all year.
Well its not like the spurs got blown out.....could of been worse....
I think we will lose more if the bench logged more mins..
Clearly not their night. But they did win us a bunch of games early in the season, so you never know...
I thought Patty was again terrible on the road, like against the Pelicans
This team better get the 2nd seed at least..can't rely on this bench to win you a game or two on the road..
Could've used Jack tonight. Manu needs some help and Parker should probably play shorter stints of time to maximize his productivity.
You know, Pop could play Simmons....too stubborn though
hope that Manu start isn't a fluke..he has tailed off the past few games..
because the loss would have been by 15 if they played 24 mins
we all knew it was coming but try to live in denial ... but Bulls are physical and thats where an old Manu will struggle I guess
I didn't think he (Patty) was particularly good even against Denver TBH. That game Simmons, Anderson were much more of a factor, (Kawhi absolutely dominated, but just mentioning bench). Patty was AWOL, played poorly and got benched on account of bad defense for Ray.
Patty may be slumping, but his bad D, combined with West lack of rim protection will be a downer when he goes cold. As he becomes a more significant scorer in the bench (with a resting or slumping Manu), its noteworthy whether he can deal with the increase in defensive attention. He killed Denver in their first matchup but not the second. Both were without Manu so maybe Denver made an effort to contain Patty. I don't remember that specifically.
In this Bulls game, he was run off the 3 pt line, and attempted too many off the dribble shots. We all know he tends to chuck, instead of distributing.
