Does anyone think Zion could ever score 60 points? Cuz I don’t. He doesn’t take 3s so he would have to take 35 shots and he also doesn’t hit his free throws so he would need at least 20 attempts there

I think 50 is probably his limit.
But who knows. Sometimes you just get on a roll or face a team that has no interest in defending.
If he got like 40 i think the team would encourage him to keep going

The same suns team that couldn’t miss against us is current shooting 16.7% from 3 against the bulls and down 15.

No, Zion can't score like these guys to get to 60.
The window is closed entirely on Zion as a top 3-5 player in the league.
We gush over Zion having a good night that is quite literally a down night for a dude like Embiid.

For a guy who doesn’t shoot 3s, doesn’t get to the free throw line nearly enough, doesn’t take enough shots per game, and only plays 30mpg, no way in hell lol

No no no, they shot so well against us because we aren't ever going to do anything this season and we lose to all the really really good teams. Except for when we beat them, but that doesn't really count.

KAT's up to 62 now with 5:00 left in the game, but the crazy thing is that it's a one-point game at this point.

KAT has really forced up some bad 4th quarter shots, and the offense has collapsed.

That’s what’s depressing, all zion is good at is scoring yet he could never score like a guy like KAT cuz he can literally only score one way. I’m not even a KAT fan and I don’t see anyway zion can get to his level. KAT can rebound better, space the floor and hit his FTs. Zion can drive left and that’s about it

That's wild that you say that having watched games. He looks like he's developing a legit right hand and has taken several more 5-8 foot shots this year

62 in an L is a tough look lol

So the guy we’re building our franchise around finally started using his right hand in year 5?
Yeah we’re fricked

Refs just cheated MIN out of the win. KAT was fouled twice, and badly, on the last Minnesota play, and there was no call.

His year 5 is a little different than every other players year 5.
Hes had two seasons where he's played over 30 games in 5 years. Injuries where he quite literally can't work on his game.

He also has been historically good in his first four years and was on pace to be first or second team all nba just last year. He has been used differently this year and something is just missing this year. I’m not going to write off the guy who did stuff to start his career that hasn’t been done since Jordan.

Mavs with the loss. Full game up on them now
Posted on 1/22/24 at 9:54 pm to GOP_Tiger
Could wind up being a nice night:
CHA > MIN
BOS > DAL
CHI up on PHX in the 4th qtr.
Would be nice to get a little breathing room before we play the 3 top teams in the league B2B2B starting Friday

Whoa. Finch put KAT on full blast after the loss. My oh my. Said that he was just looking to get his, called him immature, etc.

It's been a while since I have heard a coach go after his players like this.

Multiple times in his career Zion has played 40 minutes.
KAT took 35 shots and 14 free throws, Zion would have 50-60 points easily if he shot that much, he averaged 26 last season shooting less than half those attempts.

No, Zion can't do that.
The "if he shot that much" is what holds Zion back. Zion only has 1 way he can score, that'll always prevent him from being able to get up 35 shots. He simply can't shoot that much.
