Zion playing like this will get us wins even if his shot isn’t falling at his normal rate


That's kinda the issue.

Sons, considering the opposing bigs, this was a top 5 game from Zion. He dominated.

CJ’s shot is a thing of beauty.

Herb is the lifeblood of this team.

Really rough game from Trigga. Hope he takes it out on the Bullets.

Hawkins needed some minutes tonight. Especially when the offense got stagnant at times. I don’t believe that the rotations are so tight that Willie can’t find Hawkins 10 minutes.

I didn’t even know we had a game tonight. Good to see Zion scored 36. Nice to see he had a steal and a block too. Rebounds at 5 is still a bit concerning. How did he look tonight energy and hustle wise? Obviously, he’s pretty much always been able to be efficient offensively. But did he look really locked in tonight or was Minny just garbage defensively?

He probably looked the most locked in ive seen him this season. Wolves didn’t have antman but still have leagues number one defense. The 36 points were a season high.

He was locked in on both sides and had some of the best finishes I've seen from him this year

Good stuff man. I did, Just watch his 3 minute highlight tape and some of those 2nd half layups were extremely crispy. I also liked the o rebound and dunk outback in the 1st half. Looked like that 2nd Jump was still very much there on that play.

zion's handle off the little highlight video looked much more crisp. not sure that's a focus/energy thing or what.

That's why shel and a lot of us are pissed. It all looked like focus increased. Maybe he watched a motivational Naruto episode.

Hes gonna have to give us something closer to last night's play for about 20 games before the feel good comes back. Zion needs to fricking take everything as a sight and go full Jordan.

This


Look at our next 8 games. We absolutely should win 7 of them. We can go and win 7 or all 8 and Zion can look like he did last night all 8 times...and that'll be great.

But I won't for 1 second buy in to this being the new team and the new Zion. I will still have reservations and concerns that Zion will revert back to lazy Zion giving no effort. He's "earned" that from me...not that he cares but you get the point lol.

I'm going to need to see it sustained for probably the next 2 or so months at this point for me to become a believer in Zion again and thus this team. Until then I'll be happy with any and all success but in the back of my mind I'll be waiting or wondering if we go relapse.
