The Chicago Bulls know firsthand what its like to be without Key Players as their former NBA M.V.P. has been out the last two seasons. Now when your playing the Spurs or the Bulls they really do work on the "Next Man Up" Theory an it works a lot and that is a credit to Lead Man Pops and Thibs. Having said that let's talk See Red and Spurs in the Alamo City as the Bulls start their Six-Game "Disney on Ice" Trip.

Luckily for the Bulls they get Captain Kirk and Jo Knows back into the line up and the Bulls get seven players in double figures as they beat the reeling and five players out of the rotation Spurs. The "See Red Butler" led the Bulls with 19 points while Carlos Boozer added 16 points and twelve boards. The Bulls also get 15 apiece from the D.J. Augustin and the TAJ-manian Devil as the Bulls only have seven turnovers. They also beat the Spurs up on the Glass with a +7.

The Spurs without Kawhi Leonard, Tiaggo Splitter, Danny Green, and now Manu Ginoboli (Hamstring) can't keep going to the well as it is starting to run dry. Nineteen Turnovers was the big numbers for them as there needs to be no explaining that coming from a well-disciplined outfit like Spurs Community. PG TP9 had a game-high 20 points and six assist as Duncan chipped in with 17 and twelve but the turnovers killed the Spurs on this night. Patty Mills 12 points was the only other Spur in double figures as they have fallen on hard times.

The Bulls move to 1-0 on the Six-Game Motel Swing and 23-22 in the Central. The Spurs fall to 33-13 and only lead the Rockets by just three games falling back into the Southwest Division Pack.
