Where are all the people who whine about missing out on Bradley Beal?

I keep Dion over Beal...based on his play recently

Dion "anti-tank missle" Waiters

Yes, because if Dion would have gotten consistent minutes from the start of the season instead of having his minutes fluctuate literally every other game, this team could be in a completely different situation than what we are now.

It's not that simple. Have you read any of the other post on Dion. He needed to earn the right to start and get mins. I think the fact that MB played him the way he did, is why he has developed and can have games like this.

Thing will get really interesting if they can grab a W in Brooklyn. That April schedule is just begging for an extended win streak.

This is pure speculation we all know that he needed some time on the bench to adjust his attitude and just because 3 guards had to be injured for Dion to take the starting job and fly with it, doesnt mean this wasnt all part of the plan!

Haha.

So glad I stuck in there with this one. The majority of the game was disgusting, but the payoff was orgasmic.

I <3 Dion

Earn his spot? he beat out CJ hands down as a starter last season and this season cj was often yanked in favor of Dion. Dion had so much to "earn He was a 6 4 guard who spent 25% of his minutes playing at the three.

Part of the problems in the locker room was the arbitrary decision to bench him even though he was clearly the best shooting guard on the roster.

CJ meanwhile never outside of a game her or there showed the consistency or performance level he did from the bench.. once again inducing the continual head scratcher on why Waiters wasnt getting the starting nod which resulted in him playing 12 minutes to 30 minutes in a game regardless of how well or poorly he was playing.

I am not arguring he was the best SG on the team. So a player should get playing time just on talent? I mean the issues with Dion was that he was not playing defense, was not playing team basektball, and was a distraction in the locker room.
You do not reward a second year player with playing time if he is not willing to work hard and earn it.

From the looks of it though Delly is having a great few games basically being the 6th man hope they can keep this up though making the playoffs would be pretty awesome..

Dion could've done this at the start of this season. I know you love Mike Brown but you attribute Dion's success to his "tough love" is bullshit and you know it. Stop.
