Bulls fans have been shytting on Hinrich for weeks.

Cuz most of em are group thinkers

If it wasn't for kirk bulls would of lost last night.He caused the steph turnover cuz if curry didn't turn it over bulls would of had to foul there was less than 24 seconds left in the game,hit the go a head 3 and even tho he was getting lit up early in the game kirk played real good defense on klay in the clutch especially off the ball.

Is he still great defensively? I dunno why they still give him major minutes with courtney lee playing well now.
his on-ball defense is still straight when it's against an elite scorer, but his off-ball/team defense is average at best. too many dumb fouls, loses his man, gambles on steals to pad his stats.

like @street heat said, grizz are already a great defensive team w/o him. he's a 15 minute a game specialist at this point.

low key Z-Bo been top 10 since coming back from injury

Even before the jeff green trade, i felt they could feasibly beat anyone not named san antonio.. and that was partly because matt bonner would inexplicably shut him down dolo in their previous matchups. (zbo finally/temporarily deaded that last time they played tho).

if this zbo comes to play come playoff time and everyone else remains healthy, then i feel it'll be a toss up between them, the Spurs, and GState. I know ppl are talking about a seemingly inevitable GState/OKC first round.. but i'm actually looking at the Spurs who are currently the 7th seed but are only 3 gms back on the loss side from being #4. and we still got 35+ games left to play. So GState could potentially have a OKC/SAS/MEM path to the finals. or Mem could have the Spurs in the 1st round as a 2-7 or 3-6 seed.

Houston to LA like I'm Robert Horry.
I've been saying for years, Allen is a great defender but they don't need him to be a great defensive team. They need shooting at his position a lot more than his defense.

I think his worth is going to show up if they have to play a Harden, KD or Klay in the playoffs, but other than that he could/should be coming off the bench in limited minutes.

Optimistic But I Got Hands Tho
You may not have noticed, but the NBA has recently undergone a fundamental shift in play. For the first time in NBA history, there will be more 3-point attempts than free throw attempts this month. First time ever! The average NBA game sees 45 3-pointers compared to 44.7 freebies. Ten seasons ago, those figures were 32.1 and 53.2 in January, respectively. After much headway, teams have finally closed the gap.

:dead: I know this kills you inside. This Haberstroh article on the death of home court advantage is crazy.

Reggie dribbled right into a wall of Knicks so he didn't have to put a shot up to end the quarter & Perk was just standing behind him pissed off that he didn't fire it up anyway.
