Who would you guys trust more in shooting a mid-long range J

Josh Smith or Dion?
 
Dion was kinda benched for shot control but Delly was just working so well Blatt had to play him to finish the game.

I hope Dion is willing to accept that sometimes. I didn't really notice him during timeouts but that was on the ESPN feed so idk how he was acting on the bench.
 
Dion got benched because he tried a horrible percentage layup, and bitched at the ref while Dunleavy was running a fast break the other way. Luckily, they got an offensive foul, otherwise he would have been responsible for pretty much sabotaging the Cavaliers.

Dion needs to grow up.

thats was a solid drive to the basket. the shot before he passed up on a good shot and andy gave it to him in far worse position. wasnt really anyone to dish it off to that late in the play.

Dion got the ball in transition and was conitnuing his motion. not sure what you wanted him to do there.. its amazing kyrie irving was 6-17 on those type of drives not part of a transition drive yet noone complains about his shot selection.. the ref part would be the part that got him benched

the video will be on the nba.com website within the next few hours. id recommend watching it

Dion got the ball in transition, yes, but sometimes he needs to realize that driving into the paint into 3 players is not a high percentage shot. I don't care who you are. And the icing on the cake was Dion complaining, as usual, to the ref while giving up a scoring opportunity the other way. That's unacceptable, no matter what, and he deserved to get benched for it.

you did see the 5 times he got the ball in transition and there was nothing there he pulled out.. he really had to mucm momentum to pull out so he went for the lay up and two bulls collapsed on him. he caught the ball on the corner paint cutting. the contact was within moments of him getting the ball.

his benching had nothing to do with the play but how he handled it with the ref.the ref situation wasnt the icing on the cake it was the cake and the icing

the ball was in motion. it doesn't matter where he drove it.
 
I'm willing to accept that maybe I'm too harsh on Dion for driving initially. Perhaps I'm wrong there.

That was unacceptable, but LeBron and Kyrie both turning the ball over in back to back plays in crunch time; all while failing to get back on defense was?

Everyone needs to be held accountable.

Dion is awful. Have never liked him.

Okay, I'm being too hard on him. But not a good start.
 
Throw out all the stats and the plays.

Throw out the Dion is treated unfairly or blamed more than others regardless of it you think it is true or not.

Coaches just don't seem to like him and/or trust him.

to be fair amherst was being critical of dions court play but the unacceptable part was specifically regarding the interaction for the ref. Thats a possible tech and a known issue with Dion. Blatt and irving are people person they and av know how to complain to the refs properly. Dion does not. nothing wrong with tough love in this situation. fortunately espn went to commercial quickly and Blatt yanked Dion right away.
