Can someone please explain to me this fascination with Victor Oladipo? This is the same guy that was traded twice before entering his fifth season. Is he really a playoff altering type of player? Indiana gave max effort on virtually every possession, and it can be difficult to sweep those types of teams. I don’t care if Indiana had a healthy Oladipo, as I would have expected the Celtics to still have won the series in probably 5 games.
The Clippers are another max effort type of team with no star player, yet still managed to win one game against the two time defending champs. I think the Celtics should be given credit for taking care of business and not taking Indiana lightly, as it would have been very easy to do so.
He made the all star team this season and last. He made an All Defense first team and All NBA 3rd team last season. He was also the Pacers' leading scorer both seasons.
So I would say, yes.
