A Series of Bloopers Results in Hughes Being Bood at the Garden

Larry, if one has ever followed his career, needs court time to get his shot down. Many that have never played the game do not understand that some players can practice numerous hours, but the reality of being on the court has a change. Being a shooting guard, these are not close in shots like a center or forward.
Give him 3-4 weeks, New York is tough on any player, Larry has endured far more than any boos in his life.
His legs (as Walt Frazier) and shot will take awhile.
He started 5 games for Chicago and never cracked the 30 minute mark after 8 years starting, and sitting cold on the bench for an hour. This is not Larry speaking, this is just someone that knows a bit of the game. Don't expect 40% FG%. Remember though, Hughes was hitting 39% from the arc with 36 3 pointers with the short time and starts with the Bulls. Derrick Rose, has not hit 20 3 pt shots this year, and is at 25%. A flaw never mentioned in this rookies game by the Bulls (fill the seats baby). I think Shaq may be taking more threes soon. Give him some minutes, he plays both ends of the court, remember, sometime its how many points you take off the opponents score, Hughes is a top defender and lead the league in steals one year. The Knicks, we need defense and he will GEL! Don't panic after 4 games, please. Also, the cat is a class act, I like that, good for my kids too.
