Lets let things shitize because crystals are so much nicer than the well below .500 team Craptin Kirk will lead us too. Its the same thing he lead us too the last year before Rose got here. Only he is worse and it will be much worse till rose gets back.

Now I see the irony in your return to this forum...Hinrich isn't that important!!!!! I don't understand what the hell the issue is. They brought Hinrich back because of his versatility. Versatility none of those players that were let go, have. He is here to be a bench guy.

What you have to do is let the bitterness go...its a bit...much. Its been 3 years for pete's sake. Hinrich isn't leading this team anywhere. And if he leads them to a sucky record...guess what? GOOD! That means the team was shitty to begin with. All of a sudden Hinrich is some terminable cancer to a good team? I don't think so.

Hou, I would have no problem with Kirk if he is a bench guy that plays 15-20mpg. But that will never happen. Exiling Rip will lead to Kirk as our starting SG. I think we both can agree, that is not a good thing.

Kirk will not be our starting shooting guard.

**Poohdini** · 07-16-2012, 01:44 AM

think about a lineup of

Teague
Hinrich
Butler
Boozer
Noah

that would be so difficult to watch

That's what people were saying in 2008 too.

But they were right. Ben Gordon was our starting shooting guard.

But we'd hold opponents to 10 points a game.

Only if they have a lifespan of a worker bee.

Not quite sure what you're getting at, but 2008 Ben Gordon was our starting SG. Next season Hinrich started at SG after John Salmons sucked his way to shooting like 30% from the field on a good day and eventually got traded away.

My point was simply that people were saying the same thing last go too. And this isn't me saying that I want to see Kirk starting as our SG, but we might have our hands tied at some point of this season(thanks to a number of possibilities, and the head-scratchers of moves that have been made thus far/lack thereof.)

I thought this was a great point. Lets compare one average NBA player (Kirk Hinrich) to the best qualities of three other players, ignore the shortcomings of those three players, completely ignore the fact that the MVP later arrived on the team, and conclude that getting rid of that one average player was the main reason the team got better.

I'm not familiar with TheStig, but I see he fits in well with the other romper room rejects of this forum. I didn't think there were more Rami's and SP94's wandering aimlessly on the internet, but I stand correct. TheStig...you've finally found a place thats a match for your intellect...welcome!

He is an old school Ben Gordon fan...he is bitter with Hinrich because he thinks that Reinsdorf picked Hinrich over Gordon. Its a bit much after all this time...and Gordon STILL has to pay his way into an allstar game.

Only after Hinrich got injured for most of the season. At the beginning of the season, Gordon never got in the game until 2 minutes left in the first quarter, if at all.

And even after Hinrich got injured, they tried starting Sefolosha and even Larry "filth vommit" Hughes

, and whomever esle they could find before they finally starting Gordon.

This concludes our history lesson.

B/c the starting lineup is full of shit contracts that are close to unmovable. Tough to "blow that up".

A team that without Rose in the playoffs wasn't that damn good.

**Poohdini** · 07-16-2012, 01:34 PM
