Chris Duhon’s Sarcasm Is Not Well-Received in Chicago
The Bulls’ rarely used point guard was suspended for Sunday night’s game against the Pistons for having missed the morning shootaround. It is believed that he missed it out of frustration for his reduced role on the team since the acquisition of Larry Hughes from Cleveland.
When approached by reporters to get a reaction to the suspension, Duhon had a terrific response:
Duhon said: ‘’Usually, I don’t play anyway, so it doesn’t have that much of an effect on me.'’
Unfortunately, Bulls GM John Paxson failed to see the humor in the remark and, after meeting with Duhon to address the situation, he slapped him with an additional fine (Duhon was also docked some cash for missing the shootaround). Hater!
At this rate, it would not surprise me a bit if Scott Skiles were to get re-hired by the Bulls this summer. He may have been an insufferable jerk when he lorded over the team, but these types of incidents prove him right in one regard: The Bulls are in desperate need of discipline.

The guy would be better off anywhere else anyway. I’m sure he can pull a Udrih and start for a decent team.

@ Mutoni: Skiles was definitely NOT an insufferable jerk while he was here. I would say that his departure has revealed that most other Bulls employees are not nearly as good at their jobs as he was.

Du decided to revive the old days and carry a handle of Captain Morgan’s around the Duke campus until sunrise. We’re talking about a shootaround, anyway.

“Unfortunately, Bulls GM John Paxson failed to see the humor in the remark and, after meeting with Duhon to address the situation, he slapped him”–sentence would have been much funnier if it ended there.

yeah i dont think its a coincidence that all these incidents are happening right after skiles gets fired. larry hughes is the oldest (and possibly quietest) guy on the team! also, i thought chris duhon was one of those nice, good guys that appear on the NBA Cares commercials. surprise!

Since this post relied around the presence of sarcasm, I hope that my colleague and friend, Cheryl, was being sarcastic in her 12:31p comment.

’ships dma?.I think you mean CHIPs…..
Now the HMS Endeavour, that was a champion Ship! Duhon needs a “Kings Chance”. Seriously though, with quick worded one-liners like that he should have a show with Barkley. Trbl..
