Bulls' 'Bench Mob' getting job done

Ronnie Brewer didn't mince words. Asked who would win a scrimmage between the
Bulls' starters and the Bulls' reserves, the reserve swingman smiled.
"The Bench Mob always wins because we don't give up," Brewer said. "We play
hard every possession. Sometimes, the starters get complacent and they look
for fouls. We haven't scrimmaged in a long time. But I'm pretty sure if we
scrimmaged, we'd beat them."
Indeed, "The Bench Mob" has been a critical component to the Bulls' success
all season. They've outscored their counterpart 39 times, and the Bulls are
33-6 in those games.

Brewer said fellow reserve C.J. Watson came up with the nickname after
dismissing starter Carlos Boozer's suggestion of "The Wave."
"We don't want to be the group that when the starters get subbed out we blow
the lead or get blown out," Brewer said. "If we're up, we want to push the
pedal down and try to make a team give up. You can be up 10, 12 and you can
push it to 16 or 18 and sometimes teams give up. That's what we try to do as
a second unit.
"We really don't like our names in the paper or a lot of praise. We just want
to play hard every night at both ends."
The Bulls aim for their 15th straight home victory Monday night against the
76ers.
