re: Zion talks for first time after injury

Pretty cynical…

Is that why I got an email regarding tickets.

Nah. That was an advertisement for the half off suites. They come equipped with P Diddy already there ready for arse action upon arrival.

No, they were great folks. But Go F yourself if you're going to take cheap personal shots. Enjoy your suspension bro.

When they lose in the 1st round, go home and take your medicine. Not trolling at all. Calling it like it is. Can't handle the truth, eh? The franchise has been a joke since they moved to New Orleans, and way before. The numbers don't lie, so tell me otherwise. I wouldn't give them a dime of my money when I Iived there. Especially to that clown owner and her pals who run the team. The 2 best players to ever step foot in that arena wanted out, so what does that say? You're the one who's butthurt, not me.

If you’re not butthurt than why are you here posting and crying like a bitch about it. Do something else with your life. Plenty of things to do rather than bitching about the pelicans in the middle of the night.

If it’s a grade 2 then that’s a different story but we don’t know but I think if it was a bad strain we would t hear from Zion at all which leads me to believe it’s just a grade 1 but they are making sure he’s plenty rested so he doesn’t rush back and hurt it worse like he did last year.

If we are playing a Game 6 at home and he's anywhere close to being able to play, he should play.
I said it before, and I know most probably don't agree, I don't care if he injures it worse, and he shouldn't either.

I don't care if he doesn't start the season next year healthy and misses the first 15 or so games. If he doesnt' play until Thanksgiving then i'm fine with that. That would mean he had 7 months to recover from whatever injury he may get that's worse. As a competitor, i'd be ok with that risk. Granted i'm not doctor and don't know what "worse" could potentially mean, I just assume worse means he'll be out for a few months.

and i say all that knowing that Zion is a different animal, and his game heavily relies on his ability to be fast and explosive. If he can't be himself, then no, don't play. He's a rather worthless player if he can't jump out the gym and blow past guys. If he can be 90% of his normal self, and the risk of making things worse is 25%, then i say go for it. But that's just me. You play the game for the playoffs, not the first 15 games of the season. I'd rather he play 1 playoff game and miss 15 games to start next season then play 0 playoff games and be ready to go next season.

My biggest beef with this franchise is coddling guys back to 100% health. It's the end of the year. Nobody is fully healthy. The most minor injuries getting the "reevaluated in two weeks" is infuriating. If Zion is able to play then he needs to play- even if it's in short spurts or for 15 minutes. Play him the last 3 minutes of each quarter.

Work nights at a plant. So there's plenty of time to laugh.
