Thibs love affair w kirk 

Post#1 » by ikeziskash » Sun Nov 9, 2014 2:27 am

How can he keep playing such an awful player AND giving hin the green light? The love affair with "effort" players is damaging our team. No way Thibs would tolerate a rookie or others to take and miss so many terrible shots.

Kirk must have some freaky pic of Thibs

Kirk doesn't take many terrible shots. He just misses a lot.

And I'm pretty sure Thibs is riding Kirk like that because Brooks has no idea how to run the defense as a team.

Oh...and because Rose won't play with an ankle issue.

Kirk has been subpar defensively unfortunately these last two games.

Nut I think the main reason Kirk is playing so many minutes is because Rose and Brooks are injured and Moore isn't good.

He does, I heard he hired the same private investigator who Duhon hired to find him freaky pics of Skiles, one of the best in the biz.

Yeah let's blame Rose for this ass whipping. We can't beat a Celtics team who's without Rondo & Smart.

I'm really not sure why Noah is even in the game at this point.

So is this going to be the third season in a row that Hinrich is outplayed by a veteran minimum backup point guard?

His defense hasn't been so good that it trumps the other players offense and those players winning games.

Hinrich doesn't impact winning games. He blends in regardless of the result.

Hate to say it... but... seems like somebody is missing at the point.

This loss falls squarely on Hinrich's elfish shoulders. I'd rather have Mike James, or anyone other than Hinrich.

Because it doesn't fit your argument? Not every player in basketball truthfully impacts a game, especially not a player like Hinrich who's extremely limited in skill and talent at this point.
