“That’s an unwritten rule in our league, you never lose your spot coming back from injury,” Hughes said. “I feel like that’s what happened.”

“That’s not a good way to play the season, I mean, going back and forth,” Hughes said. “This is my second time now, it’s getting old.”

"The guys that need to get the minutes will get the minutes," he said. "My job is that every night, we want to be competitive and win. You can't just say to wait until next year. My job is to win every night, and I'm going to play the guys that give me the best shot to win... I'm going to believe in nine or 10 guys, and that is who we are going to battle with. They'll love me, and a few of the other guys will hate me. So that's just how it's going to be."

Yup.

Just go back to the quote from MDA posted by Kam77.

If Hughes gets back to the level of play that earned him 30 MPG, he will work himself back into the lineup.

Yawn

He was given a secondary chance after a horrible pre season and did some nice things in various games but he kind of floated down the tubes even before he was hurt. Im sure he will play again--but this unbelievable--obnoxious selfish attitude by some players is pretty disgusting. Hey Larry--millions of kids won't have two meals today--you've got it pretty good.

Listen if you were playing when the team was winning and felt that you were an integral part of it and got hurt wouldn't you want the spot back ? Getting Dnp's is not a good sign from the coach that we appreciated you when you helped us turned it around with your all-around TEAM play. It's not like he's a rookie like Douglas.

Now he's a bum with a bad attitude. wow

So MDA should show appreciation to him by playing him regardless of his performance? That sounds looney. The guy wasn't getting the job done. He was decent for a stretch (still shot 37%), but downright abysmal since coming back from injury. Then he goes and mouths off to the media. He truly is a bum with a bad attitude.

This is the same danphoney who played chris du-hon when guys like you were calling for his benching because of his play.

And the team was losing then.

Danphoney played him thru it remember. Naw you won't remember that. Duhon was even calling out his teammates in the media, but he's one of mikes pets so it's forgotten.

this is such a playaphoney argument. The whole team was playing poorly in the beginning of the year, not just duhon. Should MDA have sat the whole team?

We needed someone to penetrate and create and he was even getting destroyed on the defensive end of the ball that broke down our defense, he couldn't stay in front of his man.

And danphoney placed duhon right back out there in the starting lineup when all the fans was calling for his demotion.
