 Mr Duhon, I apologize., You are more then a back up point guard. |

Ok I haven't seen many Bulls games this year. But after watching my alma mater fight valiantly for 3/4 of a game against Greg Oden, I was able to catch the second half of the Bulls game. Duhon blew me away tonight. Took complete control of the game in the second half. Throwing out dishes, playing sick D. He completely got into Kobe's head tonight. He deserves to start on a NBA team... I also think Big Ben deserves a freaking medal for playing as well he does against guys twice the size of him.
BTW my team played Oden hard, but you absolutely can not defend him in the post. He is unbelievable. Whoever drafts him is going to win a championship. |

If they played again tomorrow, Kobe would probably go for 50. And yes, Oden is somthin' special. Too bad we're not gonna get him. The Knicks looks like they'll win about 30 games. The east is that damn bad. |

Sure he isn't a Nash, Paul, or Kidd... but he could be a solid second tier point guard on a team... you won't build a team around him... but he is a good piece to championship team. His D is vastly underrated and he sees the floor really well... TJ Ford and Smush Parker really aren't that much better the Du... and Kevin Ollie or Gary Payton? Please. |

Ollie and Payton are starting? Yikes! I know Smush is starting, but that's by default. Jordan Farmar might take his spot soon, anyway. Like I said, I like Duhon a lot. I just don't think any team with championship aspirations can have Duhon as a starting pg. |

I'm sure I'm just overreacting to one good game... but without Duhon tonight the Bulls don't win  If he plays at that level for an extended period of time, he should be a starter

If you don't think that Duhon, Thabo, and maybe to a lesser extent Kirk had a big hand in Kobe having a poor game, then you didnt' see the same game I did. Those guys did an excellent job against a tough scorer. |

Those guys did an excellent job against a tough scorer. They all did a great job. I was just responding to tealeaf's initial post. Just because Duhon did a good job on Kobe one night doesn't mean he should start. |

We dont need him to be a star. We need him to be a role player which he is and very well at. Im glad we still have him and he does good things on the court. Please dont my bash my impossible dream of Oden either.

He is unbelievable. Whoever drafts him is going to win a championship. People forget how good this guys defense really is. Much like Hinrich, Duhon is a smaller guard that is capable of playing tough d on taller guys. The only real disadvantage he has (much like Hinrich) is the height disadvantage that allows bigger guards to still be able to shoot over Hinrich/Duhon. Duhon is a very valuable trade chip, but at the same time his versatility, leadership, and lead by example nature are huge parts to why the Bulls have turned into the team they have.

He's a solid back-up and does what is needed.

Kirk and Duhon make up what I consider to be the mot intelligent PG duo in the entire NBA. Those guys have brains, and then some.
If we had a real SG, Duhon would be a major asset off the bench. He's one of the most slept-on players in recent Bulls history. |
