Oladipo the cancer? 

Post#1 » by Destin » Sat Nov 14, 2015 5:05 am

Best game I have watched this season. We are 5-5. The Jazz are a very good team and we manhandled them. In fact, it was one of the smoothest games so far this season. The guys were "Gelling" tonight. After tonight's performance, I don't care to see Victor back out there. We would have not dominated that game tonight if Victor was playing. Hate and call me stupid all you want but for the first time in three years, I saw TEAM chemistry out there tonight, I saw our players fighting for each other.

What if Victor played? Would we have dominated the entire game like we did tonight?

After one game you don't care to see Oladipo back up there?

Just like after one game people wanted to give Shabazz the starting lineup?

This team isn't better without any of its young players - maybe at different spots in the lineup. First quarter was great, but they had their runs and still almost made a game of it.

Gobert being out helped us more than Oladipo being out.

Frye deserves more credit.
The Jazz also suck without Gobert.

Do we still win the game with Victor? I think he is a ball hog and trying to be a super hero in my opinion.

Tonight I saw team play. I LOVE Victor, but man, tonight was night/day with swagger against a very good team

Tonight's win had nothing to do with Dipo being out. It was all about the fact that this team has depth now and when a player goes down, others will step up, like they did when Vuc is out. Let's not forget Utah had injuries as well. Yes Dipo has struggled at times this year, but this team is better with him playing.

Yep. The ball swings with him, he just isn't hitting shots that he should be making. We've been in a lot of games with him this year.

For instance, Lakers game would've been much easier with him in it, IMO.

There are nights when a team will look good without Durant, LeBron, CP3, even Curry, etc. Doesn't mean that in the long-term they are better.

Payton 10 free throws
Harris 8 free throws
Fournier 5 free throws
Gordon 5 free throws

Very likely Dipo would have received calls in his favor for once.

You're stupid and I hate you :D

Not really, but this is just another in a long line of stupid threads from you. The team has never had chemistry and fought for each other with Oladipo on the floor? LOL get out of here.

If anything his hustle was needed during certain times. Utah just looked pretty bad in general, nothing to do with Oladipo being out.

This team almost beat Miami at Home yesterday without Gobert. However they were on a back to back so...

The team looked good tonight, and the offense seemed much more balanced, but the title of this thread is offensive and the idea we don't need Oladipo is a joke.

I wouldn't mind seeing Oladipo come off the bench for a few games, myself. Still get his 30mpg, but let's use him with different lineups. I really think he should be seeing minutes as a backup PG, but only when Fournier is in to actually run the point. That should free up more minutes for AG and Hezonja at the 3, or Frye at the 4.
