The FO put him in a position to fail.
He could play with Taj or Lopez. He doesn't always have to play with Niko.

You have to remember that he's on because those 2 guys are getting a break.

He's been consistently a bad defender since his first minutes with us and scouting reports never saw him as a defender, otherwise he would have been drafted higher.
It just didn't stand out last season because in general the entire team played with no heart or chemistry.
On this team, his limitations stick out but I don't think Bobby has regressed. He is the same.

The bench sucks. This happens every game.

We'd be losing if we were playing an NBA team.

Please hurry back Doug and MCW!!! Our bench can't seem to build on leads.

They got a lot of injury problems right now. Not really a fair matchup against a mostly healthy Chicago team.

It doesnt matter how good starter plays when Bobby can go in and *** things around in 2 in half minutes. He must be one of worst players in NBA if not THE worst

I wonder how much better or worse Portis would be if Fred actually had him play his normal position at PF. Maybe try playing him with Lopez.

Build? I would settle for losing leads slowly, rather than losing them in a hurry.

Yea he was never a defender but he use to make good use of his minutes. He would come in scoring and getting boards. He definitely regressed because last year he could at least hit a jumper.

In practice whoever is mired in a shooting slump should just go against Bobby 1v1. It won't be long before that player is on fire again with confidence.

I understand but that doesn't mean substitution patterns can't be adjusted.

The bench has been terrible for like 6 of the last 7 games.
