Dion Waiters Traded

[Ohio]

Every single player's reaction is so fitting :chuckles:

Karasev holds up his arms and smiles ear to ear, then does a little awkward movement with his hand as he brings is arms down

Dion's pumped, clearly living vicariously through Kyrie

CJ does a weird little dance that appears to end with him scratching his balls

Gee's not sure what's going on

Zeller claps politely

Bennett raises the "3" as high as he can with a big smile (edit: wow, ok, he does have pretty long arms)

Sims also holds up the 3, screams and hops around awkwardly

Delly swings his towel around



It's all so unbelievably perfect...

I literally cried reading your synopsis of the gif :chuckles:

 

[Soar]

I'm still cracking up at Gee. :chuckles:

20 minutes though? Could anyone give me insight on why only 20?

That Dion "move/dance" has to go Viral and animated Into other Gifs or Video clips. The GIF should go Viral on Its own. Awesome!

He wasn't playing great, and Jack was having a great night. Luckily our whole team seems to have matured above egos and Dion was fine with TT, Jack and Kyrie bringing home the win tonight

He played better than Jack, but it was still probably Jack's best game this season and if Jack isn't clearly, obviously killing the team on the floor, and even sometimes when he is, Mike is going to ride him.

Jack wasn't really that great. TT was out of the game and the Cavs started getting killed late in the 3rd and early 4th. My biggest complaint about Waiters tonight was bad FT shooting. Alot of Jack's "assists" were nothing to write home about and he was very error prone down the stretch.

Maybe just because?

He wasn't have a great game. 0-4 FT's. 0 assists.

The bigger factor though was momentum. He played his usual 13-14 minute stretch in the first half. We started the second half down 11. The first unit played well enough together to close the gap down to 1 pt several times in the third and that extended their time on the floor, which I think is hard to argue against. So Dion came in later in the 3rd than usual, at around the 2:30 mark. That unit played poorly to end the third and begin the fourth. When Brown brought the starters back between 8:19 and 7:46 of the 4th quarter, the momentum shifted again, they played well, and they won the game. Their was no need to disrupt what was working so well where we scored 26 point in the last 7:46 and held Detroit to 13 points in that same stretch.

So I don;t think it was any sort of benching or message to Dion, it was just the dynamics of this particular game and I think Mike Brown played it right in the 4th qtr for the most part and don't think Dion was upset about it either.

edit: If anyone saw this post before my edit, I can hope they can understand that I've been typing on a computer all day and the b and n keys are right next to each other. I was horrified when I saw my typo and made the edit as soon as I could.

Dion only played 20min because [1] the starters were playing great in the 3rd quarter so Dion did not get time there and [2] Jack was playing well so MB kept him in there.

Needs to work on the fts. Really odd that his 3 point stroke looks much better and more consistent then his FT shot
