He just don’t want to admit their leader was the worst player on the floor tonight

JV fouls a lot.

He gets mauled every game but still gets free throws. Again, saying refs were only reasin he got no calls is silly. If anything suoerstars go harder to force those calls. He didn’t do that.

It’s been great for years. Before they won a championship. Pels fans are seriously behind.

I think the most frustrating thing were the constant cuts to the basket for uncontested dunks and shots. I mean you can’t do that. You have to force them to shoot from the perimeter as an alternative and hope they aren’t lights out.

The Pels had several very lazy turnovers.

Brandon is a crazy good iso player, but trading baskets with them is ridiculous. It kind of lets them rest on defense.

Couldn’t sustain pressure again post halftime. Pels have a soft middle and teams will continue to exploit it.

Yes they werent calling fouls on him but that doesnt mean you give up and have less fouls thab your rookie shooter. Your god damn superstar force them to call it. You guys who sit there blaming the refs will never win, hes like shaq, he’ll always not get calls. But thats wheb great players force refs to make the calls. He had a decent game but he coukd be much bettet. We seen him be much better.

The Warriors and Nuggets are contenders and they proved it to the Pels. Defense vs the contending teams is straight arse.

Dude he can’t “force” them to call it

He attacked the basket. He got hit. They didn’t call it.

What exactly do you want him to do?

Our real concern right now should be that 7 games in BI seems like a net negative

That cannot continue to be the case

It just can’t

Zion usually makes several of the baskets he missed.

The Pels aren’t going to go into the defending champs arena and get a bunch of calls. That was obvious.

I don’t think we needed a bunch of calls, but that game wasn’t officiated close to fairly

To be clear, I don’t think that’s why we lost, but it certainly made it harder for us

Keep attacking. Dominate. Be a god damn mvp like he was in December. Lets be honest this version of Zion wont get us anywhere. We cant sit here and make excuses for him. You want to be the best, then take on the champs and take over. Especially in the third.

Is this Rocky person on the Pels loathsome Spaces the normal host?

She's so awful and won't stop talking, I couldn't take more than 4 minutes of her.

Jfc

He never stopped attacking dude. He just didn’t. I’m sorry you don’t have eyes

Missing Trigga, Jose, Herb for a quarter, CJ, and Naji and expecting to beat the defending champs only missing Murray is crazy

It would have been cool but this is not like some end of the world loss dude

Jokic does this to teams routinely

If this is what you want then we should probably trade BI. I don’t think BI is planning on doing much off ball.

If we ever get Healthy, Kira and Naji need to be glued to the bench. Kira fricking sucks and will be replaced by Jose and I like Naji but we cannot have another non shooter out there, Matt ryan has to play over him

Naji will get situational high energy defensive minutes against certain lineups. I’m sure of it. But I agree with what you’re saying in principle

Im not saying its the end of the world. Thats just you who can’t take criticism on Zion.

Do you think this is the same guy from December? If you think Zion couldn’t be better, than you must have been missing your eyes last year. This Zion is still a shell of himself. Ive seen him be absolutely dominant. But go ahead talk yourself into oh yeah we just lost cause we’re just missing so many guys. We’ve given up back to back 40 point third quarters and halftime leads of 7 and 11. Where the frick was Zion when that lead was going down to nothing? Thats when your superstars step up, like he was doing last year.
