PG: Hinrich's the Worst

[HomoSapien]

Seriously. Watching Hinrich play is like watching your favorite bar burn down. I'm annoyed that I've had to watch him for over a decade. I'm annoyed that so-called smart execs and coaches keep bringing him back and over-playing him. I'm annoyed that he's gotten a free pass from Thibs for poor play. The play he made today was possibly the worst play I've seen ever. The runner up is the one he made against the Mavs earlier in the season. I wish people would stop arguing that he's a high IQ player. He isn't. Playing hard isn't the same as playing smart.

The fact that management has determined that Brooks/Hinrich/Moore is enough point guard depth for the rest of the season is an utter joke.

Bulls PG play, wow that was cringeworthy. Hinrich is a dinsoaur and has lost more than one step on both ends. Brooks not much better, his defense is a level more beyond bad. Gonna be hard to win with these two.

PnR continues to murder us, we have to stop switching Paul lit us up with those short Js.

DeAndre just bullied us on the boards and shut Pau straight down. Sad to see Gasol and Noah get humbled like that.

Butler gets hurt, the hits just keep on coming. Hopefully it won't be long. At least Snell looks ready to give something in the interim.

Nice contribution from Dunleavy, 1-3, 3 points in 30 minutes. Just start Snell already.

Great game from Niko wasted. Too bad he doesn't get regular burn to help more often.

Too many bigs and not enough quality guards, good plan.

[Tenchi Ryu]

The absolute nerve for people to act like signing Nate is a pointless move.

[IbankingBoiler]

We are officially the Chicago Treadmills. moving but never going forward

[Teh-Monkey-Man]

Unfortunately there was no winning that once Jim Jam went down....

[Hokie]

If Butler is out for any extended period of time then we're screwed. It's a shame that this team can't stay healthy for more than five minutes. No Rose, No Butler, no Gibson. Hard to win without your best two players and a key rotational piece.

Gasol was trash. Brooks was trash... I would call Kirk trash but that would be an insult to trash.

Mirotic was great. Snell was solid. Noah brought energy... just didn't have the horses in the four quarter.

Can't believe the Clippers didn't win by 40

[Red Larrivee]

McDermott matched Hinrich's point total today without playing. What a game from Doug.

Please make a legitimate argument as to why McDermott shouldn't be playing when Hinrich has been laying eggs all **** season. McDermott can not be any worse.

[TheSuzerain]

I would applaud the front office if they took it out of Thibs hands and outright waived Hinrich.

4 seed lol.

We could have done better. That game was definitely winnable. Clips ain't that good. My only concern now is us missing three guys

We have to, have to somehow upgrade guard play. I don't know how. I'll look at Nate. You will not survive with Kirk and Brooks.

Great game by Niko, but it's embarassing for a bunch of NBA vets to not have a single FG in the 4th during crunch time, and your rookie being your only savior. Embarassing.

Done with Kirk. I'm sorry. He'll make a shot, I'll cheer, but it's gotta stop.


Enjoy being stomped in the first round again, Clips. Way to feast on a back up PG, Paul.

[SSSFreak]

Well Kirk only played 25 mins. So by Thibs' metric we only lost because he didn't play 30+ mins.

[[e]]

Pau and the pg play was terrible.

Pau scores 4 points on 13 shots. Kirk doesn't score. Brooks gets eaten alive by CP3

The one bright spot was Niko. He balled out big time.

Too many bigs and not enough quality guards, good plan.

Hopefully the last few games has changed their stance.

[Keller61]

Starters + Kirk shot 13-57.

Clippers gonna lose to the Grizzlies in the 1st round again

GARPAX suck hard!!!

[Polynice4Pippen]

Glad to see another game where Niko and Tony look good coming off the bench. Bulls simply don't have the firepower to hold on to a top 3 seed, which isn't a big deal. If Derrick and Jimmy are right come playoff time and the team is healthy and defending better like we have been we can come out of the East from the #4 seed. Thibs has to bury Kirk on the bench once Derrick and Jimmy get back, period, end of discussion. 9 man rotation for the playoffs; Derrick/Jimmy/MDJ/Pau/Jo, AB/Tony/Niko/Taj. No Kirk. At all other than end of quarter defensive possessions. Just get healthy, guys.

Don't see why Doug can't get Hinrich's minutes.

[Rerisen]

Hinrich + Dunleavy = 55 minutes, 3 points.
