Zo will make up for it next game... slow start.
can’t have slow starts when we have 8 games left. Good chance it’s already over for us when it comes to making the playoff

Like I said, he gave the same exact answer multiple times back when Zion first returned.

A good chance it's already over?? What are you talking about? We have an easy schedule with this likely being our hardest game and we'll likely have Zion for more minutes.

Yeah i dont know when they asked if the restriction was strictly because of conditioning he kind of stammered and shook his head, and said all I know the decision was made from the training staff. Something along those lines

You’ll never be more than a mediocre nba team with Lonzo ball as your primary pg.

He can’t score. Unless you have Lebron on your team, your guards have to be big scoring threats. I mean he’s being left alone in crunch time.

And somehow his drives are worse than his jumpers.

Lonzo and favors are trash. Zion has serious question marks

Eh it’s more when they asked about choosing the minutes but not the exact reason why they are choosing those minutes. Could of easily said the staff decided to limit them because of the time he missed

I don't care who is or isn't favored. Jazz and Clippers-Harrell and Lou Will are probably about even.

We lose one game and it’s over? Well if you expected us to go 8-0 then you should have just wrote us off from the get go

Regardless of whether or not they shot poorly, there is no doubt that this was considered 1 of our 2 hardest games of the bubble schedule.

He is incredibly elite at scoring with his back to the basket in the paint:...it’s not 1992.

He has serious ball handling issues. Serious shooting issues. Serious defensive issues.

And serious health/availability issues

Zion is and will continue to be elite offensively, however when it comes to defense, he is well below average. I don't understand how he can be so quick with the ball in his hands yet so slow trying to slide on defense

his defense wasnt like this at duke. idk what happened other than being out of shape, but you'd think that would improve
