[EastCoast2]

Pretty nice to hear "Starting at _____, from Syracuse..." before an NBA game

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

Beal vs Waiters.. love it! Man, I love hoops..

 

[EastCoast2]

Waiters first NBA points - a fast break dunk

 

[EastCoast2]

Waiters nice pick n roll - almost dunked it for the play of the month

 

[EastCoast2]

Dion bringing the ball up the court a lot

 

[skurey]

He needs to pass a little more or convert these hard layup attempts.

 

[EastCoast2]

Irving might average 24 ppg this season

 

[MCC]

Dion knows where the basket is.

 

[MyMeloMyMan]

Something very special brewing in C town...look out NBA

 

[JarHeadJim]

8pts in the first half in 13 mins

[rstone7727]

Dion! Welcome to C-Town!

 

[skurey]

Waiters is doing a great job getting to the hoop, just can't finish

 

[4evaOrange]

really really easily getting to the hoop, just needs to finish better.

 

[Nate44]

Just converted on a big 4 point play to retake the lead

 

[NineOneSeven]

Look at the box score for Washington. Have you ever seen more balanced minutes/ points for each player? They obviously have no idea who is going to be in their rotation.

I've been a skeptic of Dion in the NBA, but that was a pretty flawless debut.

He hit the biggest shot of the game and played his ass off on the defensive end.

 

[Gabjon]

Dion had good game and was a few plays away from a very good game! Out played Beal and was very solid on defense.

 

[Melancer46]

I'm gonna go ahead and say it's a good thing that he put up 17 while not even looking impressive.

Really has to finish around the rim though. Went 6/14 almost solely on layups and dunks. Not good.

And he and Irving both are way too lazy on the defensive end whenever a screen comes their way.

Cavs are gonna struggle this year, but man, Irving looks like an all-star.

 

[jdubs30]

0 assists from Dion, not something you wanna see from a starting guard...

LOL! 2-5 from 3pt land and basically shut Beal down 3 steal and 2 of his misses were blocked.

 

[CuseForLife]

i am too impressed about his first game but i agree that he takes alot of attemps but i really do feel he has a good season

It WAS his first game at the professional level.

Postgame, Austin Carr [former Cavs player / announcer] gave him a "A" for his debut, in large part because of his hard work defensively. Solid start for Dion.
