Bulls' coach Scott Skiles clearly is annoyed at his players, benching the entire starting 5 as the Bulls lost to the Raptors 101-71 on Saturday night.
Skiles cleared his starters from the floor with 9:35 left in the third quarter, but it didn't help as Parker immediately hit another 3 against the Chicago reserves. Chicago starters Luol Deng, Tyrus Thomas, Ben Wallace, Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich never returned to the game.
The Bulls came into the season with lofty expectations, but are 1-5 before beginning a six-game road trip on Thursday night at Phoenix.
The vibe hasn't been good in Chicago since the Bulls were involved in Kobe Bryant trade rumors less than two weeks ago. General Manager John Paxson put to rest the Kobe Bryant trade rumors less than a week ago, but some fans continued to chant "Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!" while the Bulls were down 30-plus points in the third quarter.
