Most other teams, subbing in enough bench players, gives them a second wind. I just see the starters gradually wearing out because the bench is mostly an afterthought. We arent even at the halfway point in the season, and fatigue is already an issue.
I hope the FO trades for a bench player Thibs cant ignore. Only way to save the season IMO. That and rolling the dice with the bench. The FO should take it personally. Thibs is like Mikey.
Got it down to 6 now. Lets go
Horrific call taking away the 3 from Shamet then Silver wonders why ratings are nosediving
Getting worked by the refs now. Can't dig these holes where we have no margin for error.
What a joke. NBA refs all either suck or are corrupt. Even worse than the NFL refs who are also a disaster
6 point swing on that phantom call

So much for the comeback.
And just like that we are getting wiped again
I'm shocked any time the Bulls miss a three tonight.
Hukporti, Mitch, Kolek, Diadet. Hope to be seeing them get more minutes in the coming weeks. Mitch whenever he's ready. Im hoping the offensive rebounds Mitch snags will boost bench scoring.
They showed a clip of Thibs being asked about starter minutes after OKC. He sounded like someone who isnt going to change on his own.
Well - that was fun.
Tremendous defensive effort.
Thibs utilized bench energy to perfection —- such a spark

44 in the 3rd for Bulls
We are legit the only team in the league where fatigue is an issue already in January. We are not even half way through the season. Lets not even talk about the playoffs.
We could easily have a 6 game losing streak coming up in our near future.

Looks like he hits LaVine with his knee.
Then he’s holding onto the back of his leg.
I don’t know what the heck he injured.

Because your a child?
Through the NBA Cup semifinals, which were played Saturday, viewership of NBA games for the league’s national partners — ESPN, ABC, and TNT — was down 19 percent over the same period last year, according to Sports Media Watch.Silver’s acknowledgment was a little softer — he said “ratings are down a bit” — but pointed to a broader trend of “cable television viewership is down double digits.” Viewership is also down for men’s college basketball (21 percent), women’s college basketball (38 percent), and the NHL (28 percent), Sports Media Watch reported.
To grab the context and other things addressed read the short article. I have mentnmioed this before that streaming services account for ratings drop. Do we think PhilC got it right, or the heads of companies that bidder billions for broadcast rights?
