Dipo clearly isn't thrilled about not starting but like I said, I doubt it's permanent. Skiles loves Dipo and his defense.

Another great all around game from Dipo.
Good win, let's go 3-2 on this road trip!

It's better for the team for Dipo to come off the bench, it's better for him as a player as he gets more mismatches for now atleast.
frye spaces the floor more and gives us a bit more size, which has helped our rebounding(or so it seems), frye is not a ball dominant player whereas you can argue vooch/dipo/tobes/payton all are.
dipo is finally drawing fouls, he's at 28 FT's since the move.
in the 3 games he's been +14, +16, +16

aol4532 on bill russell
I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

Nothing to bitch about so the thread is barely alive, ain't it?
Let me help some of you. Hezonja got buried on the bench once again, what a waste of a draft pick, fire Hennigan, Skiles is inept. AG showed he should play many more minutes, he's misused by our coach, we're wasting his talents. KOQ scored one point in 4 minutes for the NYK - we could definitely use him; why we let him go in the first place?
I got more if you're in need!

Oladipo clearly like winning from all his quotes; so, this if this is what winning takes, I am sure he can swallow his pride.

Maybe start worrying when he actually starts saying the wrong thing instead of exactly what he should be saying lol.

Funny to read the Celtics board comments. Boston should, according to them, never lose to such a mediocre team like the Magic, which are all scrubs. It's like they've never had a good look over their own roster. It's not like it's filled with stars...

In case there is any doubt about why Coach Skiles targeted this game as a must win:
Orlando winning this game gives tie-breakers !!!

What a nice win.
Skiles really got things going with these lineups. Frye is doing a good job as a starter and the second unit of Smith, Nicholson, Gordon, Vic and Napier is trouncing the opponents. Once CJ gets back we'll have one of the best (if not the best) second unit of the East.

LOL, they're very well coached, but we clearly have deeper talent on our roster.
Oh... and I just saw Dipo's post game interview. Literally no different to most of his post game interviews I've seen since he entered the league. No idea what all the fuss is about.

Body language...
You: "Hey, are you ok?" Girl: shrugs and looks down, "yeah"... She said the 'right' thing but you know she's not ok.
Anyway... not a huge deal but it's definitely noticeable. The important thing is that he's responding properly on the court.

Emily Austen seems pretty terrible. Poor timing, way too many questions.
But come on, wouldn't you feel a little defiant? Maybe a little focused, to show everyone you're better than that? He just needs to use it as fuel to play better.Blue_and_Whte wrote:Told you wed beat that ass. "but they just beat the Wizards " pfft.
I applaud your prescient arrogance!
I don't think this is happening but if at any point Dipo cant put the success of the team ahead of his pride then **** him. That goes for anyone on the team.
