Well, we need this one badly. If there is one team, which is beatle by Heat, its Boston.

Oladipo is NOT a good ball handler. He makes too many unforced turnovers/errors (9 in the last 2 games)! If he used strictly as a 3 and D guy, with no primary or secondary ball handling duties, that would be great (assuming he's hitting his 3's). Otherwise, keep him on the bench.

Totally agree. He should almost never handle point guard duties. I still like him in the rotation. His defense and steals are useful, and he can get hot. Further, he is just another highly skilled player to help our collective effort. We have less of them than many of the better teams and have to hope for contributions from everyone we have. This Atlanta team is better than last years.

Can we get Victor Oladipo to play like he did in the last 2 games?

That VO takes us to another level.

As Spo says "make us have to play you "

I think VO did that.

Hopefully no more DNP-CD for him.

I thought VO did that too. And, I think Zeller also should be used as backup center. He has been a bit of a pleasant surprise. And Love, just the opposite. He can only make a high percentage of threes in practice. Hurts more than helps.
