Chicago's Two-Headed Monster
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz The Chicago Bulls have an interesting dilemma.   Kirk Hinrich, the team's point guard from its most successful run in recent years, has returned to action after missing 31 games.    How do the Bulls integrate Hinrich back into an offense that features ...

Kirk Hinrich And Derrick Rose: Two Great Tastes That Taste Great Together
MOUTHPIECE Blog // A Chicago-Addled Sports Blog — ... Upon first glance, this wouldn’t seem to work, but alas, it did: The Bulls were able to move the ball more efficiently with both guards on the floor, and each was able to find shots for the other.

There’s real value in having two guards on opposite sides of the court who can both handle the ball and initiate the action. In addition, Hinrich is a pesky defender who can spell Rose defensively at the one. It won’t always be a viable option — don’t expect Rose to draw Dwyane Wade or Vince Carter — but Hinrich gives Del Negro a lot more defensive flexibility. On the downside, Hinrich is a below-average offensive player who, at times, has ...
