And how many times must it be said Duhan is not starter material? Dude would be great for 15min a nite. In fact I hope we can keep him for a backup role

If we don't get our priorities straight and start playing like we did in December, no one will wan't to come here.

Oh so certain? If your crystal ball is so accurate, you should've predicted this swoon and wouldn't need to ask how we can fix it.

Joe Johnson left Phoenix for Atlanta (when they were firmly mired in mediocrity). I think we'll be fine.

1.) Energy issues
2.) Getting down everytime things don't go perfectly
3.) Playing better when we down and out then when we have a chance to win

Basketball is a psychological game. Our young guys learned awful lessons. That year and have passed it from year to year. Bip tried to warn you!!!!!!

in 1 sentence u say if Hill was really ready he'd be playing right now, but in the other u question MDA's judgement in playing Duhon starter's minutes... so can we question MDA's judgement in his rotations or can't we?

if you've watched Jordan Hill play this season & can honestly tell me that J. Bender should be seeing ANY of his minutes on the floor, you must be watching a different game than me.

I am looking over the roster as do you and I see DUhan is still the best on the roster. So you gotta go with him. Nate is not a point. Im sure MDA looks at his bench and wishes TD or anyone could play more minutes and get the job done.

SO until there is a better choice why queston his judgement to use what he's got.

Larry Hughes demonstrated an ability to back up Duhon quite effectively through that run in December... i can't understand why he doesn't go back to him now with Duhon struggling so badly w/his shooting... i don't care what Larry Hughes said to the media, he didn't walk out on the team or do anything but express his own frustration over losing his role... that doesn't warrant a permanent banishment to the bench... IMO MDA goes overboard in his passive aggressive tendencies towards certain players & shows an inordinate amount of favoritism towards others... i don't think that's conducive towards breeding team chemistry, i think it's a detriment... last thing u wanna see is guys beginning to resent other teammates or the head coach because they feel certain guys are getting preferential type treatment.

Hughes is shooting 36% from the field and 29% from three. The only person he should be resenting if he doesn't get playing time is himself. Until he distingueshes himself to be clearly better than Duhon and Nate and TD he has no argument. The coach decides who he feels gives him the best chance to win. If you can't distinguish yourself from the competition you may be the one out of minutes. That's life in the NBA. Cant' cry about it, just play better when you do get a shot.
