Dion tweets

What I liked most about Dion last night is that every time they showed JB lecturing him, he stared right back at him. So many times, players just look away, look at the ground, straight up ignore, or becoming indignent about it.

Last year, he did all of those things. This year, he takes it.

I think Dion is officially in the JB "dog house." He's played horribly in the past two games. Poor decision making/shooting. Nice to hear that he's responding in a positive way, and hopefully he will be able to return to form. I'm optimistic.

I think this is a bit of an overstatement. JB has consistently shown all year that he plays the players or combination of players who are performing best on any given night, or who simply have a skill set that is most needed under the circumstances (e.g., Baye's extended minutes the last couple of games, despite his unremarkable performance). "JB's doghouse" implies there's more to it than that, and I really don't think that's the case. I certainly don't think it's personal.

If the big thing we fans need to worry about is the play of Dion, we are going to be a very happy group of Orange fan.

JB has been quoted as saying he doesn't see a guard better than Dion, that Dion is the most unstoppable guard he has coached, etc...Dion is going to have to take the tough love with the effusive statements. Clearly he has to understand by now JB thinks highly of his potential and just wants him to get better and play more consistently within the team framework.

Dion has matured a lot over the past year. We should all be proud of that young man and support him. And Triche with the emotion last night!!!!
