re: I’m not saying it’s good that they got embarrassed

That was a 'clear out the kitchen' stinker. I'm curious as to the response from the Pels organization.

Game really showed this team needs a point guard, even moreso than the Pels slow.... bigs I complain about. The pace was awful, I had the Temple/Sato flashback.

For sure, that is a given. I'm saying Pels need 50+ from the two per game, and they've now shown, in several high-leverage games, that they collectively can't sustain pace for the full game.

Jose is the Pels best PG, that's the issue.

It is hard to imagine the number of calories he has to be putting down to gain weight while playing in the middle of the season!

Obviously, Zion enjoys to eat. And the more you lift and do cardio, the more hungry you are. All this is not ground breaking. If you’re going to lift and run hard, you have to be disciplined to keep your caloric intake below how many you’re burning.

But somebody mentioned the club, and I don’t know if that was a real thing or just a joke. I also don’t know if Zion is a raging drunk or a tee-totaler who has never touched alcohol in his life. But alcohol can add a ton of empty calories that a lot of people don’t either factor or don’t keep up with accurately. And he may not have hit that age yet—in my early 20s I could drink till 4 am, and manage to work out and run 5-6 miles the next day pretty easily. But at some point those hangovers catch up with you and makes it much harder to do the requisite cardio required to keep that caloric deficit.

Again, I have no idea if Zion drinks a lot, a little, or never at all. Just that those empty calories and accompanying hangovers that make it more difficult to work out as hard as necessary, could potentially explain it. I don’t know.
