He's very good most nights. If anything last 2 games were the outlier. Some selective memory shite going on ITT.

Which of his peers or top 10 players have done the same?

So disappointed in his performance last night. Season was going in the right direction and even though he was out of shape they were putting it together.
Last nights effort took the air out the season excitement for me personally. On the biggest stage/game so far he gives by far his poorest performance. Wasn’t like he just had a bad shooting night, it’s like he just didn’t care at all. And it totally affected the rest of the team.
I’ve been a big Zion fan, but, last night was so bad I don’t care if he gets traded anymore. If that’s the effort he is going to put on when it’s an important game then get ride of him.
Hoping this is a come to Jesus moment for him. But, I’ve said that numerous times and if he doesn’t get it after this he never will. Not in New Orleans anyways.

Zion had jaxson hayes on him last night at times and refused to attack him. That was insanity to me, his former trash arse teammate and doesn’t even abuse him

BootKrewe made a whole video and after that shite im ready to trade him

Watching those clips, after having watched that pre-game interview, and it seems pretty obvious that Zion (and Ingram) were as high as a giraffe's arse..

He also had 7 and 6 assists in two of those games so it is clear he is deferring when on the court. Not sure if that is the game plan (as he has seemed to be force feeding JV a lot lately).
He's scored 13 or less in 3 of his last 4 games.

Mrs Iwy thought he was high. His pre game interview he definitely sounded baked. Said “yes sir” to the lady interviewing him and looked pretty disinterested. Doubt he was but this was just another level bad effort game.

Exactly how I felt. Beating the Kings in SAC had me so excited for the rest of the season. Now….not so much. It’s still early but goddamn

It's sad that we have to hope he was hungover, which in and of itself is a red flag but, sadly, is better than the alternative.

Whats crazy is Zion contributed to that win over the Kings. But he only scored 10 points and had similar lapses on defense, although his defense in second half picked up. What’s interesting is he only played 28 minutes and almost looked like Willie decided to go with JV for a long time in the fourth instead of dealing with Zions shite defense. Its crazy Hawkins can’t play because of his defense but Zion can and his defense some would argue is worse. If your Hawkins- who agreed struggles on defense but also is a better rebounder and has played relatively well this season- can’t get minutes but Zion is, he’s probably sitting there saying wtf is this shite???!!

The issue that everyone, but you it seems, was complaining about was his lack of aggression and not taking shots.
Such a weird thing to double down on considering how flatly wrong you are

He is definitely still efficient on FGs but he is terrible from the line at 64%, which is a problem as he attempts by far the most on the team. This is his worst season from the line since his rookie season, another sign that he hasn't put it in the work. Also his lowest PPG and RPG of his career. The positive is that his assists and up but, overall, what a major disappointment he has been.

He was probably hungover honestly.

Hungover but those videos are legit fat and Lazy!

This is why being a pelicans fan makes a Charlie Brown of us all.
That game so thoroughly laid bare the gap between what Zion is and what we hope Zion will become. Surely, surely this is the wake up call for Zion to become a professional. Surely he won’t yank the ball away from us again.
In a culture that cares about being posterize, Lebron utterly posterized Zion just by running up and down the court while Zion stood there as an helpless, impotent, fat sack.

He doesn’t care, he got his money.

I think it will be interesting to see if the team does damage control for Zion again. I think that's the next step before holding him accountable publicly, is letting the external criticism set in.
