<span style="font-size:10pt;line-height:100%">Hughes says he won't start tonight against Spurs</span><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Cavaliers point guard Larry Hughes indicated this morning that he would not start in tonight's Game 3 because the pain in his injured left heel has increased, a move that presumably opens the door for rookie Daniel Gibson to slide into the starting rotation."Sometimes you can overcome the physical by mental," Hughes said after morning shootaround. "At this point, it's getting pretty tough."Cavaliers coach Mike Brown said this morning that he had not made a decision on his starting point guard, and did not rule out Hughes' retaining his starting role."The team has a pretty good rhythm when he starts," Brown said.Hughes has been battling a strained plantar fascia in his left heel since the Eastern Conference finals, but has not missed a game. He received injections of cortisone and novocaine throughout the series against the Detroit Pistons, but has elected not to receive the numbing shots in two games against San Antonio.In the Finals, Hughes has made 1-of-10 attempts in an average of 22 minutes.Gibson is averaging 15.5 points on 62-percent shooting in two games in the Finals.</div>LinkI hate to see him play hurt, and I hate seeing hum struggle. I hope he plays though, I wanna see him get some minutes off the bench when LeBron is resting, or whatever. Eric Snow SHOULD start. I want Gibson coming off the bench, still.
Boobie is one of those guards that do better coming off the bench. I think Snow should start too, and have Gibson come in when they need scoring.
Stupid idiot coach, hes gonna start Gibson. Watch, when we need someone off the bench, we don't get anyone. Ugh. Hopefully the starters outplay the Spurs' starters.
