Not necessarily that they are trying to stop him but put him in the situation that he has to either play all the rest of the games without getting even a small injury or he does end up getting first team, mvp etc. He is in good enough shape to play this game yet he isn’t playing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah….this babying his playing time surely has helped him be injury free in the past. How about getting in shape before the season starts, acting like a fricking professional that’s getting paid millions, and playing in all games when healthy?

You reckon Zion will be under “load management” for the duration of his career here?

Why do you think sitting him on b2bs for the first time ever is even close to what we've done in the past?

What a totally original right no one has ever expressed before.

Zion not playing sucks, it is what it is, he should be in better shape, we all fricking know it, but he is a unique athlete. A 1 of 1. Yeah there is no excuse, but what the frick should the pels do? Make him play 30 tonight out of shape and risk another soft tissue injury? frick that.

Should’ve put a fat clause in his last contract.

Winning easily is a rarity, but I’m okay with it.

have no reason to believe in he'll ever be in the shape and conditioning he should be in so probably

Hopefully he proves that wrong but he's given us no reason to think he will.

Am I crazy or was this game originally at 9:00?

Could’ve sworn I saw that yesterday or the day before.

Right

If he was 250 lb or whatever his magic number is, he wouldn’t be load managed

Folks need to realize he can both score 30 and still be out of shape. That is the frustration. I can’t wrap my head around being a Zion conditioning apologist

Yeah I remember there being a weight clause and number of games clause that affect a good chunk of what he’s paid. Was actually very team friendly within a max contract context.

Ok whats your solution then? Play him regardless if hes not in game shape, he gets seriously hurt and then what? We just bitch about that? We can’t just cut him and nor should we. Yes, he has conditioning issues but he also has abilities to take this franchise farther than its ever been. Both are true.

Anyone know if theres a way in streameast to select a different broadcast of a game? I end up with the other teams announcers 100% of the time.
