thats fair. just not sure why 90% of the comments are about zion being arse when cj and ingram were far worse overall. zion wasnt that much different tonight compared to the kings game. ingram and cj were totally different players out there

No injury excuse on this blowout either. Griffin getting a good look of this healthy roster on the big stage.

Probably has a lot to do with Zion doing absolutely fricking nothing while the team struggles.

They all played like shite no need to nit pick who was worse. Plenty of room in the fricking boat for that



The problem with this "equality for all" mindset is that Zion is not equal. He is the focal point of this whole team.

The fact that he is giving the least effort of everyone else is a problem. So yeah, continue to try and deflect blame to everyone else on the team when someone says Zion is lazy, but none of this matters if Zion isn't taking basketball seriously. It all starts with him.

Well that’s even more reason to nitpick about zion . Two biggest games of the year and he hasn’t show up for either . Pretty concerning

He probably knew BI and Zion went and partied the night before and thought they would be useless

Pace, getting players involved, setting the tone- this is why point guards are important. CJ as good as he can be isn’t really that. Honestly think Lebrin is more point guard than CJ. Not blaming CJ but I just think his role shouldn’t be a points guard.

He's really not a point guard for this team.

He's 3rd in usage. Zion and BI do the bulk of the facilitating.

If you saw Zion in that pregame interview like he was dragging himself to play compared to how Bron came in all business- explains everything. Having fun in vegas > winning thus game

He clearly pressed when the team was doing nothing and our stars couldn't keep them in the game like you know... Star players do. CJ typically sits back and play the support role. He should never be asked to do more than that but our star players have to play like star players and carry the load.

So basically this team has nobody as a point guard? In games like this its so apparent the team needs one.

It should be Zion, but he’s unable to move/run

Our star players need to be professionals first and foremost. Not summer league. You’re still here to win a basketball game.

Correct. Many teams don't nowadays, not the traditional PGs

Look the way Bron played and lakers shot we should lose by 20. But to be beaten by 40 when we’re fully healthy?? Thats on everyone including coaching. They gave up.

Yeah but those other teams and have mature experienced stars. We don’t and why I think we need a mature point guard.

This is a Zion problem not an others problem . Lebron made him his bitch from the jump. He ran him off the court .

And that's driven by the star players. They don't show up, it's impossible to ask everyone else carry them.
