Tim Duncan had 17 points, 12 rebounds, a steal and a block in Wednesday's loss to the Bulls, giving the injured Spurs their fourth loss in five games.
Tony Parker added 20 points and six assists, but rest of Gregg Popovich's starting five was a bad joke. Jeff Ayres failed to score in 16 minutes, Nando de Colo had eight points in 18 minutes, and Othyus Jeffers failed to score in 15 minutes. Gregg Popovich does everything he can to keep his guys healthy, but times are tough with Kawhi Leonard, Manu Ginobili and Tiago Splitter all down and out right now. Obviously, Duncan and Parker are must-starts as long as you know they're going to be in the lineup.
