He's got to be so sick of BI and Zion.


We need to stop lumping Zion with BI on this until he gets injured. Zion missing last game was a team decision, although I suspect his fitness level played a role in it and that is on Zion.

Resting Zion was part of a pre-determined plan that was established well before today, Willie Green said. Zion won't sit out all back-to-backs this season.

"It’s part of his plan to make sure we give him an opportunity to have a healthy season.”

I think its hilarious that Zion and BI missed, but I kinda get what they are doing with Zion.

BI situation is just beyond frustrating to me though.

I want him to come back and play great so we can maximize his trade value

Yeah, Zion was already scheduled to miss this game in the offseason, I’m sure he wanted to play but the team and his trainers came up with a schedule they think will benefit him and maximize his games played.

In my opinion yes and no. When we were clearly fighting for the playoffs at the end of last season and Zion refused to come back until he “felt like Zion” even though he’s coming out and doing wind mill dunks in practice and acknowledges he was healthy gets him lumped in. That was reprehensible, it was the end of the season and a playoff run and worse than what BI is doing this season in being a twat and not playing through soreness right now in games 3-5, which you can at least reasonably argue make sense in the big picture (again I make that comment with the understanding he is dealing with nothing structural wrong with his knee). So even though last night may have been a team decision and not his, Zion does not get the benefit of the doubt from a perception standpoint. He has to earn that like CJ and JV have.
