About Larry Hughes...

PrintI just thought this file photo of Larry Hughes was appropriate. He's sandwiched by Kirk Hinrich and James Johnson while Joakim Noah completely stuffs his shot.
I can't find the comment, but someone mentioned in a game thread that he/she gets the same feeling when Hughes comes in the game that we all got when Jeff McInnis came in. I'm nodding my head right now.
Vote in the poll.

I love that people were trying to talk themselves into Larry Hughes a couple weeks ago
and now he’s bombing it.

Why? You like seeing your team lose?

No I find it humorous.
In an ironical kinda way.

We can find solace in our early adoption of the Larry Hughes Is Awful stance.

I feel slightly vindicated.
But still shitty about losing.

Tough poll David.
I agree with several of the options. At first I was hitting the “reactivate Henderson” button, but then I realized that Gerald just isn’t playoff ready and asking him to step up after his long and inactive season would be the very definition of setting someone up to fail. From there I moved to the Stephen Graham button but the last month of the season showed me what Graham is capable of and I don’t have to wonder about it anymore. I finally realized that I do indeed feel sorry for Hughes. He used to have the skills to ball in the NBA and it’s hard to look in the mirror and admit it just isn’t there anymore. I know because I shave a face with that expression of realization on it. Most of the time it’s pretty easy, but I never had the experience of stinking up the joint in front of television cameras. That’s gotta hurt.

There are more people out there named Larry Hughes than I thought.

Speaking of Jeff McInnis...
Him and Hughes both wore #0.
Also, McInnis is still a free agent, for those who were wondering…
0 is
the number of shots that i want larry hughes to take outside of 3 seconds on the shot clock
We should trade Hughes and Henderson
To someone for a high % perimiter shooter. That’s what we need most coming off the bench at that position.

Let's sign Manute Bol
he can hit the threes.
At least I remember him hitting threes more than Larry Hughes

Hughes contract expires at the end of the year.
Flip Murray is a free agent.

I thought the idea was to get a good shooter

Murray is definitely the guy who will take the shots
But we need a guy who can make them

True, but who else can we afford after we sign Felton and T.Thomas.
I like what Flip did for us more than what Hughes is doing to us.

Because that's the first place they'd look for the body.

The option that would best describe my stance
“Hughes plays ok defense, but i’d rather have Thomas, DJ, DB, or basically anybody else in there.”
but seriously
Hughes isn’t THAT bad. Everybody needs a scapegoat on here — it used to be Graham now it’s Hughes. Neither of them is the horrendous player that they are made out to be.
