http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/4517 Recent articles about Kirk Hinrich en-us   [Thanks to 'wjb1492' for today's game preview -ed.] Roughly a month ago, the Bulls and Cavs played the first of their 4 season games, with the Bulls somehow sneaking out of Cleveland with a 1 point win.  Tonight they play their second game, also @ Cleveland, and even for a raving optimist this game doesn't seem promising.  Why?  Well, if you really have to ask, you're either a total homer or a basketball idiot.  But read on anyway.... ...
