Solving the Bulls Back Court


The consensus opinion is that the Bulls will use the preseason to determine their back court rotation.  Unless coach Vinnie Del Negro employs a 4-guard offense, there won't be enough minutes for the abundance of guards currently on the roster (Rose, Hinrich, Gordon, Sefolosha, and Hughes).  Someone is going to lose major minutes and someone else is headed for the trading block.

But screw the preseason.  After two games, we've seen enough.  This is at best a .500 ball club, so it's time to employ the playground pickup strategy:


VDN:  "Derrick, you're starting at point guard.  Who do you want to play with?"


Rose:  "Thabo."

VDN:  "Great.  Thabo, you're starting at 2.  Gordon, you're sixth man.  Hinrich and Hughes, have you ever noticed how nice these cushioned folding chairs are?"


Problem solved.  Up next:  Finding a pair of scissors for Nocioni.
