Said right after our win over Memphis. Says all 3 are ball dominant and don’t play winning basketball without the ball in their hands.


What say you?

I was trying to figure out if he was talking about pels or Grizz, to be honest. That was a strange thing to say after such a great win

He’s right. It’s early though

Facts say the 3 play at a +10.7 net rating on the court together

Been saying it…not sure it won’t change, but Zion isn’t playing defense.

he’s right, they are a work in progress
no big deal

what he’s wrong about (just a lazy take not malicious) is that Ingram and CJ don’t do “other things” needed to win. Ingram especially

What do CJ and BI do well when they don’t have the basketball in their hands? I think Ingram, with his length, could def be a better rebounder.

Ja Morant does nothing noteworthy on either side of the ball without the ball in his hands, and his team just won 50+ and went to the 2nd round of the playoffs.

I’ve said it numerous times, but I think in a year or two, Dyson is the type of player to compliment a ball dominant BI/Zion lineup. Plays fantastic D, rebounds very well, makes plays passing that CJ doesn’t.

Where do you come up with shite like this? CJ is averaging over 7 assists a game (had nine tonight) and a little less than two turnovers a game. His facilitating tonight was every bit as important as his scoring was. Dyson absolutely needs to get his minutes, but this constant shitting on CJ is bizarre.

I’m not talking up Ja. I’ve been plenty critical of him.

Dyson is a better passer. I didn’t say CJ was shite at passing. You guys gotta take CJ’s dick out of your mouth for a second and realize I’m not even agreeing with Barkley.

I thinks you missed my point.

Ja does nothing without the ball and the Grizzlies were very successful last season. No reason we can't do the same.

Dyson has played like 5 games as a pro and you have his game completely figured out. Some of you are fricking amazing.

Well I don’t think the Grizz have as many ball dominant players as we do. BUT I don’t think the best CJ, the most efficient CJ, is when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands.

I’m assuming you meant to say you DO think the most efficient CJ is when he doesn’t have the ball in his hands. Otherwise I have no idea where you are coming from.

I mean dude…watch him when he’s on the court. It’s pretty clear the impact he’s making from all the phases I’ve mentioned. He’s just gotta work on his shot. That’s what will keep him from taking CJ’s spot
