I wish I was so out of shape I could go 6-8 and score 13 in only 15 minutes.

Also would like to point, on his very first layup he actually tweaked his knee a little bit. Whatever that means

I’m the biggest Zion fanboy there is. He was completely gassed out there.

He missed the exact window given to guys to get into basketball shape and he apparently wasn’t exercising at all.

The idea that he couldn't go more than 15 minutes is... wild.


Right?

3 more minutes to close the game - is it really THAT different

Even if you only get 15, you can’t stagger those minutes to where he can CLOSE the game?!

I swear some of yall act like 3 minutes couldn't have been used wiser. Id rather him be huffing and puffing in the final three minutes where it would have made a huge difference instead of a bland deciding where he's going to play before the game. Al is such an idiot.

We should have just held Zion out tonight.
Yep, there was no point to playing hi the first 3 minutes of each quarter.

Just make sure he's a full go for game 2.

Exactly. JJ even said Gentry ran them 10 days in a row. Guess what, Zion missed those days. He’ll be fine, he just needs a few more practices under his belt. He look gassed tonight.

Yall gotta understand Zion is a fricking V12 in a game against a bunch of v8s. His motor is different. Zion gassed is most bigs still feeling good.

Everytime they showed h he just made a play is he supposed to be not sucking wind with the way he plays?

I followed just about this entire thread. I don't recall any posts of him being completely gassed but after the game, 3 posters are saying he couldn't play more than 3 minutes at a time? I didn't watch the same game as those dudes.

If not anything but to be a decoy, you have to have Zion on the court during crunch time. Favors on the court is playing 4 against 5. Can work in spurts for defense purposes. But when you need to score.... Zion or even Melli need to be on the court. Rotations in the fourth were retarded.

Theyve needed refs help every single fricking game frick this


They didn't need the refs help. The Pels took a massive shite on the Orlando floor in the second half. The team doesn't have a single clutch player outside of possibly JJ who comes off the bench and scores 21. Ingram holds on to the ball and misses the final shot. Favors looks like a clown. Etwaun with two turnovers on two fast breaks back to back. Lonzo can't fricking shoot and is scared to shoot when he gets to the rim so he passes it off when the rim is a foot from him. Zion is too fat and horrible on defense to play more than 6 minutes a half. Jrue comes up with a few steals but also makes terrible fricking decisions and turns the ball over. Melli is still on vacation. Pels can't play defense so when they go cold they're completely fricked. Preseason Champs though...
