At least ZW1 had 13 points, 3 rebounds & 4 assists.

fricking Gumptard was 3-10 from the floor and didn’t stop Morant once.

Nobody gives a shite that he played at bama anymore

He had a bad game but he’s typically very solid defensively

This is 100% on Willie for not doubling Ja

Herb kept running Ja off the 3 point line where he was dominating in the paint. Should have had the exact opposite strategy. This loss was ok Willies coaching and Herbs bad night. Love Herb but you got to know personnel. Ja was way off on all his 3s and was getting a foul or a bucket every time he drove

Starting 5 is bad together. They have a net negative. Offense is not very good and defense is just bad. The fit is just not there.

That's why we don't go on runs until we start subbing some of them out.

Which makes you wonder maybe we need to change up the starting lineup and find a way to insert one if our best young players- Murphy?

Best thing that happened was Zion getting his 3rd foul early in the 2nd. That's when we went on the run that got us up 19 at half.

Probably has too much faith in the players individually and expects them to do well together because they're good individually.

And that is 100% on Zion, not Herb.
He’s been pretty terrible over the last two weeks.

Wonder why Herb kept closing on 3s? Why did our offense look completely different from half to half? Gump? Huh? From Herb Huh? Dumb huh? Ask around the NBA if he's Gumpin it up out cha. It's on Willy.

The thing is you have to put in Trey. You’re not taking Zion out because he is too good offensively and despite tonight after that lakers loss had been playing pretty well. Question becomes do you take Herb or CJ out? Thats the tough one but I can promise you once Trey enters the starting lineup- the unit will finally mesh.

I don't know what happened to Herb he was showing improvement on offense but ever since that Kings game he has been bad. But it's so frustrating because we know Willie will do nothing to fix the problem. The only thing that forces his hand is injuries. I hate to say it but I'm not looking forward to Larry coming back because Willie will sit Val again we lose that Charlotte game without Val. And it's criminal that Hawk gets no minutes shooting is the most important skill in the modern NBA and Willie constantly puts Zion out there with the worst shooting lineup possible. Willie is this team biggest problem he really is our Mark Jackson.

This is Herb in a nutshell. Inconsistent offense and his shooting will always be up and down. He's opportunistic but there are days like tonight where he's not going to be much of a scoring threat out there.

Honestly Mark Jackson was better than this. These are just really dumb decisions. I just feel like he doesn’t see the game properly as a head coach. Almost makes you wonder like others have said has this roster passed him by- meaning are we too deep for him. Because hes just not letting go of certain guys getting minutes.

- side note everyone on pels media twitter is tearing into Willie’s coaching. It’ll be interesting to see next game if Willie changes anything. I’m sure Griff is seeing this too and asking wtf is going on here.

Zion will continue to be terrible if he is continually asked to stand in the corner, get 8 fga per game, and never be a primary initiator. It is like Willie is trying to put him at a disadvantage. Just the fact that Zion has averaged less than 12 fgs per game since the TWolves game is an indictment on Willie and his staff.

Homie called Herb Gump like he's retarded. The only reason can think Herb kept doing something something stupid is because the coach didn't tell him to stop and do the right thing.

Willy let our offense go south not Herb.

The rest was like Herb dumb Huh? Ax the rest the league Huh. Like Juvy ya herd Huh.
