Waiters is the player who truly makes or breaks this team because he is so inconsistent. He is capable of going off and scoring 25, but he usually gives you almost nothing. we desperately need a reliable scorer off the bench…when Waiters is on, we have that. when he's not on, our bench is useless. if Waiters could consistently give us 10-12 points per game, we'd be doing just fine. the question is, can he do that? it's all or nothing with Waiters. He's either hot or ice cold…and his bad games seem to outweigh his good games by a ratio of about 5 to 1. we can't win in the playoffs with Waiters only playing well in 1 out of 5 games. if he can turn it around and play well in 4 out of 5 games, then I'd be happy. but to have Waiters do well in only 1 out of 5 games isn't going to cut it.
Dion can fool you because he shows flashes of greatness, but that's all it is so far - just "flashes." if all you every do is show "flashes" then you're just another scrub journeyman in the NBA. maybe Dion can actually become a legit player who plays at his best most of the time, but as of now his inconsistency makes him completely unreliable.
