After playing for the Thunder for a few games, Dion's got to be thrilled he got away from the stench of this rotten hellhole of an organization.

You aint never lied.
Look at that body language. Look at him in the game down the stretch.
I wonder if all their fans freak out with every ill advised shot he takes lol. Probably not.
2-2 from 3 tonight, it's coming around (5-14, 35.7% with the Thunder).Not only that, but they play him. When he gets his jumper back they might end up starting him. And when he is out there they pass him the ball on occasion. You have supreme teammates empowering him, where here he had loser teammates that want their own, and the "leader" leading a coup against the head coach.
I was surprised we didn't play the same style while Dion was here. We had 3 guys who could attack on the break. Up and down the court. 1vs4 jumper, go ahead take it. You are not going to get yanked for taking a bad shot. And, look at their rotation pattern. Dion is their 6th man. He finishes the last 18min of each half. None of the crazy rotation Blatt put Dion through.OKC plays with a quick pace and they actually will throw the ball to him when he calls for it. A lot of the players on the thunder will throw their hands up when they are open. He feeds off the energy of the team and the move him around.

Guy is embracing the exact role we all thought he would thrive in here.
Classic Cleveland, amirite?
