bit harsh. i only tuned in with 2 minutes left in the 1st, and Duhon did fine in the time i saw. he got into the paint and was getting guys like Howard and Davis open for a short dump off, but he missed the pass to Howard (just like everyone else on this team does), and Davis went up from a step out and couldn't even get above the rim - was quite embarrassing tbh.
Duhon isn't good, but tonight he hasn't been a momentum killer from what i've seen. what's killed our momentum is the series of missed 3's and mid range jumpers from JRich and Anderson.
Duhon misses passes in general... he's too inconsistent to be an effective bench player behind Nelson... Hughes at least has height, defense (steals), and better passing abilities coming off of screens and slip screens... Duhon is too stagnant of a player to warrant any sort of praise imo... other than maybe one game last season where he had 10 assists, he's been a complete disappointment for the contract he's earning... I'll throw a party for the day he's bench for good.. if Duhon improves and plays well consistently for the rest of the season, I'll gladly put my foot in my mouth

he won't, but i don't think the blame for our deficit lays in him is all i'm saying. JRich is paid twice as much as Duhon just to make shots, and he's not doing that tonight. his let down has had more of an impact on the team than Duhon.
the one thing Duhon does which i like is he pushes the pace a bit more. doesn't run fast breaks, but at least he runs the ball up. lol.
