Brooks' Injury Has Tested Bulls' Depth

The combo of Hinrich and Brooks in many ways eclipsed any performance by Derrick Rose this season, though they're both lacking on the defensive end.

Rose was originally sitting out with an ankle injury of his own, which stretched the Bulls very thin in the backcourt before his return.

Not exactly an ideal scenario if the Bulls want to be the first team to knock off the defending champs this season.
