Victor Oladipo - Memphis Grizzlies

Disturbing trend. Magic winning more and Vic's minutes are less and less. Come on Vic. Let's Go!

Is he still 6th man?

Yessir

Honestly don't pay much attention to the Magic. Who is getting minutes over Vic?

He's been playing plenty off the bench, but Skiles is trying to keep him and Payton in separate lineups since they're both ball handlers. He has Fournier starting at SG instead.

Yes, they are still having him come off the bench, but they are winning so it's hard to complain too much.  Channing Frey, who is a power forward, really took Victor's starting spot.  They moved Harris to the small forward and Fournier to SG.  Fournier has actually gotten less minutes even though he starts.  Frey is a 3 PT shooter and they are trying to space the floor.  Victor and Elf end up playing quite a bit together and Victor, unless it's a blow out like tonight, ends up on the court at the end of games.

This one to be honest I didn't catch.

Seriously the Republican debate.

I just came on to post this as well.  There was an interview before the game and he said that and I literally, lol ed, but he also said they watched basketball.  They left that out of the article.  Victor laughed when he said it.

Able to go again tonight.  Magic played the Portland Trailblazers.  They won 102-94.

 

Victor played 34 mins. (Fournier, who started was out for awhile with a dislocated finger)

Vonleh was a non factor in the game.

Lmao, sorry, but no. He might be top ten. There are a number of guys who are better. And two off the top of my head who are significantly better.

keep hoping to see Vic's numbers improve, particularly minutes played. Keep grinding Vic.

His shooting is still very inconsistent.  It's in his head now.  I hold my breath every time he makes a shot.  No one on the team gets big minutes except the center and occasionally the point guard  this year.

Who?  

[KingPG21 6,584]

Who?

PG and Leonard. Those two put up historic defensive numbers. PG's advance statistics defensively throughout his career are other worldly

[FloridaHoosierGirl 4,639]

Victor had another horrendous game offensively.  Really concerned for him about this.  He needs to snap out of it.  Even missed a dunk.
