I believe that Larry was part of it. He has lost a lot of his aggressiveness. I think a large part of this was that he was benched for Lue, and that he is coming off an injury. I am sure MJ has some disdain for those that take too long to overcome an injury, though I think Larry has played good defense, like the Toronto game, that the Wizards have lost.

The talk on the sports radio shows here in DC say that Kwame and Dixon are not on MJ's s-list.

Well, IMO the criticism of Hughes is pretty much unwarranted. I'd imagine some of it was over him passing up the final shot the other day, but he pretty much beat himself up for that in the papers.

I'm a lot more willing to cut him slack than I am Stack. He's stepped up his game and played fairly well. I don't think he'll ever be a star in the league, but he's a nice solid starter-level player, and in that sense he's done what could reasonably be expected of him.
