Dude had a pretty rough game for the better part of 3 quarters. While CJ and Ingram were playing better.

But come the 4th, neither of those guys seemed to be able to do much and Zion pretty much iced the game and took over.

Even a "bad" game from Zion, he's usually our best player.

There's a standard he's held to on the court that's absolutely insane.

Because he keeps meeting it.

The 3 pointers added up and spacing got significantly better throughout the game. Zion was able to take advantage.

Its going to take him at least 10-15 games to fully be himself and work his way into the flow of the game, but he already has looked great in spurts

He looked rusty at times and then at other times he looked like an unstoppable force. Overall, I liked what I saw.

In December of last year, Zion had the Pels leading the West and was making his case for All Pro which would've activated that $231M contract accelerator. Then Z's chronic vaginitis flared up and the team crumbled. As Zion goes, so goes the Pels.

Fingers-crossed for 60+ games of healthy Zion appearances and a sure Western Conference title. I'd say break a leg, but ya boi might take it literally.

Inadvertently, I think unleashing Zion as our 4th quarter closer on a worn down team may be the most optimal way to use Zion (if his conditioning permits this) and close out some wins.

If this was on purpose, great job Willy.

we all know this already... it's not his ability on the court that we worry about.... it's his ability to get on the court and stay healthy that is the cause of concern...
