If this performance by Victor Oladipo had happened on another night, people would be a lot more hyped than they are actually gonna be. Looking at this game through the lens of Westbrook’s 49-point triple double makes it seem not very exciting at all. In reality, we should be getting super excited for Oladipo as a prospect. 38 points? Whoof. My blood-hype levels are getting dangerously high again. Someone get me my hype-insulin!
Playing alongside a pure point in Elfrid Payton is helping Victor. He’s never really been a PG, and suffered last year when forced into that role. This 38 point game is just a teaser to what he can accomplish, unfettered from the fetters of Jack-off Vaughn (yes! got to use that nickname one last time). Can you say “Fifty”?
No. Dude. Sound it out. Ffffff…
Come on. Fifty. Not that hard. Fif-tee. Are you serious?
