<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Washington Wizards scoring leader Larry Hughes has a broken left wrist and will miss four to six weeks. Hughes was hurt in the second half of last week's game against Memphis, but the injury initially was thought to be a sprain. Hughes played two days later and scored 21 points in 45 minutes against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he left in the first quarter of Sunday's game at Cleveland. </div> Ahhh this isnt good...we get 2 stars back, we lose another crucial player.

I was wondering why he only played 7 minutes. Not good for the Wizards, but if they can keep Kwame Brown playing how he is, they shouldn't have too much trouble suceeding without him.
Right when Washington shows some kind of light, with Arenas and Stackhouse back, Hughes goes down. Not good for the Wizards, Larry brings the Wizards 20-30 points a game, he isn't afraid to shoot and down the stretch he's the man who's been keeping them in games. 4-6 hurts, it will be interesting to see what Blake/Dixon can do in more minutes. Also look for Kwame to step up his role even more.
Stackhouse is still a ballhog if you ask me. Still very bad news, he's really needed offensively plus he's got great speed. Arenas, Dixon, Blake and Kwame need him, they were actually performing pretty well lately. I hope he gets better soon, however if you do worse, you'll get a better chance at the draft.

If he keeps this up, I won't attack him anymore, might even like him after a while, maybe anyway. Thanks for telling me.
Well at least they won't have any difficulties sharing the ball for Stack, Arenas and Hughes. Hehehe But this is a huge loss for them.

Hehehe But this is a huge loss for them.</div> They had no difficulities at all sharing the ball, the last 2 games they had 5 people in double figures(Kwame, Arenas, Stack, Hughes, and Haywood) Kwame, Haywood and Stack had double doubles...they have realy nice team chemistry for a team that has been together as a full for not even a week.
