I expect Hawk to get good minutes against the Wizards.

Zion's demeanor was noticeably different. Not all smiles or screaming after makes. Very business like.

Just one game but I like it

An out of shape Zion just scored 36 points on the best defense in the league. Just think about that. Thats how good he is if he isnt in shape but just gives effort.

I thought Z was focused, and answered what she asked. Non story there.

Zion very short in the interview


Yeah he gave really short answers and looked like he’d rather be anywhere else. I’m sure he’s pissed about the leaks about him not doing what he needs to do to be in shape.

I don’t think they’ll send Zion but I guess it’s possible.

No, there was a certain amount of "FU, haters" involved.

I liked it.

Yeah he was noticeably different in the interview. Also notice no one was fricking around? No Jose or Trey or naji goofing off.

I think they were all humbled

Looks like Willie is dead set on his 10 man rotation. Hawkins, Lewis, Ryan, JRE, and Liddell will never see meaningful minutes as long as they're healthy and isn't sitting players for B2B games.

Zeller is the only one who may see minutes of foul trouble becomes an issue.

You’re assuming this health will continue. It won’t. Hawkind and Ryan will get their chances again.

79 pts on 26/45 shooting for Z, CJ, B.I.

2nd time ever they've each scored over 20 pts

31/40 fts

Stayed even with them on the glass 47/47

Tons of even or damn near even stats actually. 14/14 turnovers, 36/37 3pt%,

The biggest difference was the paint tonight vs their 3pt shooting. Jonas and Zion killed it. Zion took a ton of fts (and made them!), and they took 9 more 3s to only make 3 more than us.

Trey Murphy was 1/5 from 3. That ain't happening a lot more this year.

Man it felt like Naji and Jose played more minutes than they did, Willie has to learn that we need shooting out there.

Gotta learn defense if you want minutes.

Remember Media Day, that was supposed to be Zion's thing for the season.

Zion playing like this will get us wins even if his shot isn’t falling at his normal rate. Getting foul calls allows us to set our defense and Zion to get breathers. If he is passive we get less foul calls and he gets more tired and it impacts his shot making. We don’t lose games when he gets 10+ free throws. Side note: our key to beating Minny is to attack Rudy with Zion and BI and get him in foul trouble and then do the same with KAT when he becomes the defacto center. Also double KAT when he gets the ball in that scenario. Let Ant get his but stop Kat from being an offensive threat.

We also need defense. No one other than Herb is a plus defender minus those 2.

I don’t know I’m of the firm belief great offense helps with your defense. My thing was I dont think Naji jose amd dyson should all play at the same time.

Ryan will definitely see minutes once he returns from injury.

JRE and especially Lewis and Liddell don't deserve minutes.
