Don't look now but the Bulls are playing very well, and that is without 
Chandler and Pippen.
They beat the Bucks and should have beaten both the 76ers and the Hornets.  
They certainly out played them.
Also for all those who were putting down Hinrich after his first couple 
games, coming back from the flu and losing close to 15 pounds (which for a guy 
Hinrich's size it might as well have been 50 lbs) and being thrown in against 
Iverson and Baron Davis back to back would be difficult for anyone to handle.
He still hasn't found his shot, but he was such a great shooter in college 
I've got to believe that will come around.  The last four games Kirk has 33 
assists to 7 turnovers.  He's also getting praise for his defense.  He was giving 
Iverson fits the other night.  Tim Floyd was impressed enough to say he was 
going to be a very special player.
Crawford is still starting at the point, but Kirk is coming off the bench 
just minutes into the game and taking over the point guard responsibilities, 
which allows Crawford to play the shooting guard, the position he is much more 
suited for.  This has made the Bulls so much better on both ends of the floor.  
I've watched a lot of Bulls games this season and right now they are playing 
much better basketball than the Celtics.  If Curry could ever learn to play up 
to his capabilities (I don't think I've ever seen a player of his size and 
strength miss so many bunnies), they could be one of the better teams in the 
Eastern Conference.
