Game 8 | Atlanta Hawks (5-3) @ Cleveland Cavaliers (4-3) | November 15, 2014 | 7:30PM EST

Dion's been playing well, he just seems a bit frustrated that he hasn't gotten as many touches as he would've liked. Honestly, what he's done today is very good, he should realize that.

hope Dion has a good 4th qtr.. like him attacking but he has to drive and kick.. had 3 guys converge on him and had Love wide open in the corner.. got blocked earlier with both Love and LBJ wide open at the 3 pt line... like his aggressiveness.. just needs to keep his head up

Dion just doesn't' fit with this style of ball. Kills the ball movement and doesn't seem to have the IQ to know how / when to move the ball. He is still shockingly bad at finishing at the rim too - shockingly.

Saying he is "cutting off ball movement" is funny. All these players cut off ball movement at times. If Waiters was 7-10, you would be saying he was "awesome". Dion has been a energetic defensive piece and sparked the route. If you can't see that, can't help you.

Can't find much to complain about on a night like this, but Dion's body language has been awful. Gotta get that straightened out.

I will say this for Dion, refs seem to swallow the whistle when he goes to the hoop.

Probably because they are annoyed about him yelling on every play.

I was a huge Dion apologist last year, but at this point I feel like we are watching two different games.

He sticks out like a sore thumb when he is out there. He completely has killed the momentum / beautiful ball movement we had on 5 different occasions this game. He has failed to finish at the rim 3 times, and he has complained and pouted when the team is up 30.

Throw a T on top of that. I just don't see how he can have such poor body language when winning by 30.

Re-watch this game I challenge you. Watch only dion and don't follow the ball. He has complained / shrugged / pouted so many times I lost count. Mind boggling to me this should be extremely exciting for him winning and playing on a good team.

hell yea Dion.. drive and dish.. Kyrie for 3... Dion can get to rack at will.. just needs to know when to kick and when to finish

Great sequence there by Dion.

Stop.

Dion seems frustrated after he turned the ball over. I think he wants to do whats right, and when things isn't going as he wants, he gets extremely frustrated.

Also, Dion has been flowing with the team like everyone else. He's made some outstanding plays on offense.

 

[Spencer Hawes]

Keep Dion, we need him in the playoffs when things get physical. We need a psycho out there in case of confrontations.

 

[Winnersville]

Still giving up uncontested shots. Need to improve on that. But I will say this: Shawn Marion does not look like he's 36 years old.

 

[Walter White]

Tristan is working on that Shaq dunk, where he kicks his legs up.

TT don't give a shit!

What disgusted me most was when he flailed is arms complaining that he didn't get a pass in the first half, even though Joe Harris made a 3 off of the play. He then trotted back shaking his head.

Only guy out there that can find a way to complain when your team is on fire and up by 30.

Are we watching the same game? Because Dion's been playing solid defense and making great passes all game bro.
