"Because the Bulls played well and snapped their eight-game losing streak Friday night in Milwaukee," John Jackson of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES writes, "coach Scott Skiles decided to stick with the same starting lineup -- Kirk Hinrich, Ben Gordon, Luol Deng, Michael Sweetney and Othella Harrington -- for Saturday night's...

As much fun as we've had already with Facebook photos, we figured we'd find us a college student who could access some solid athlete ones. First up: Bulls guard Kirk Hinrich, whose Facebook photo is exactly what ours would be if we were a professional basketball player: A screenshot... Link
Chicago Kirk Hinrich’s a tough dude. After leaving the season opener with an ankle injury and being questionable the next night, he came out and went for 26 points on 8-of-13 shooting with 3 3s. After being knocked out with a concussion against Dallas, he did miss a game,... Link
Dirk Nowitzki scored 35 points and sent Chicago's Kirk Hinrich out of the game with a concussion, as Dallas beat the Bulls, 102-94, at the United Center.... Link
First off, thanks to Mike for handling the game threads over the weekend. Bet you didn't even notice, I'll be damned if we're not seamlessly integrated over here at Blogabull. Dallas is likely the 3rd best team in the NBA, albeit a tier below San Antonio and Detroit (who... Link
As if you needed anyone to tell you differently, Dirk Nowitzki is the unquestioned star of this team. Even when his shot isn’t falling, like the past couple games, where he’s shot a miserable 17-for-51, Dirk is still able to be a real asset. He still puts plenty of... Link
"Chris Duhon probably wasn't supposed to start the season like this," writes Kelly Dwyer of SI.com. "Duhon was supposed to have slid into a slot as Chicago's backup point guard by now while Kirk Hinrich came into his own and Ben Gordon cracked the starting lineup after a summer... Link
Big game tonight before going to Texas. The Lakers have a front line that even the Bulls can take advantage of, although Kwame Brown always seems to have good games against the Bulls.(EDIT: Kwame is out with a hamstring pull.) NBA journeyman Smush Parker has been a revelation at... Link
With a loss last night the Bulls dropped to 3-4, which isn’t terrible but is good enough for last place in the strong Central. But even before the loss last night coach Scott Skiles was talking about shaking up his starting lineup, and he just might follow through with... Link
Kirk Hinrich helped the Chicago Bulls get off to a strong start, and the reserves helped them hold on. Hinrich scored 11 of his 19 points in the first quarter, as the Bulls built an 11-point lead before beating the Utah Jazz 103-98 Saturday night. "I was finding myself... Link
Luol Deng scored 21 points and Kirk Hinrich added 19 points and 11 assists to lead the Chicago Bulls over the Utah Jazz 103-98 Saturday night Mehmet Okur had a career-high 33 points and 17 rebounds for Utah, which played most of the game without Andrei Kirilenko after he... Link
In the CHICAGO TRIBUNE, Marlen Garcia reports that Kirk Hinrich's sprained left ankle isn't as bad as it looked Wednesday." Hinrich "was able to bear weight on the ankle Thursday but didn't practice. Bulls trainer Fred Tedeschi said Thursday that Hinrich is day-to-day and "it's not out of the... Link
Brian Hanley of the CHICAGO SUN-TIMES reports, Kirk Hinrich's left ankle, which he sprained late in the third quarter of the Bulls' season-opening, 109-105 overtime victory Wednesday against the Charlotte Bobcats, did not appear to be seriously injured Thursday. In fact, trainer Fred Tedeschi allowed that Hinrich might be... Link
So BV did his draft recap and now it’s my turn. Like he said, we start 10 players (PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C, C, UT, UT), with three bench spots, 12 teams. So it’s a pretty deep league, and it’s very competitive. Hard to slip sleepers past... Link
1 to 30 31. Chauncey Billups – We love PGs here at FBB, and they don’t come more rock solid than this one. 32. Jason Terry – No, seriously, we love PGs, especially ones who were able to finish 30th on the player rater while only getting 30 mpg.... Link

CHICAGO, April 27 -- It was not just the pyrotechnics of Ben Jordan this time. The Kirk Hinrich maneuver killed them, too. One long jump shot at a time, the indefatigable Chicago Bulls guard sent the Wizards home down 2-0 in their first playoff series in eight years. Tuesday's... Link

Lets pretend that game against the Rockets didn't happen. And especially forget that I paid to go. Besides, if I would've known that Roche had already unknowingly sabotaged the Bulls effort, I wouldn't have gone. (Wear your lucky Bulls hat next time!) But what I can't disregard was seeing... Link
Well, I'm back, thanks for all the well-wishes. They all, in their unique way, affirmed my suspicion that I'm a huge dork. The Bulls are still looking like less of a force without Luol Deng in the lineup, losing a close one at San Antonio and collapsing in Milwaukee... Link
Ah, the frustrations of fantasy basketball. Two players who I ve been begging to get more playing time finally get put into situations where they are going to see that time and I miss out on both of them. Bah. Lots and lots of post-deadline PG situations to look... Link
Not too much to cover with the short week, but here s the rundown nonetheless. The entire Atlantic division is pretty ho-hum when it comes to point guards. You know what to expect from Gary Payton, Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Rafer Alston and Stephon Marbury. I can t see... Link
