That's almost as silly as saying that the team is playing for the play in only 25 games into the season.

I don’t man. But if these guys aren’t listening to Willie and hes not benching them or doing anything, some of that is on Willie. Sometimes you have to send a message if you want to save your job.
I would trade these 2 guys before i fire willie and im not even that big of a willie fan. I still thinks it's possible that willie is a good coach. I am certain that BI and Zion arent the guys to build around. I have 5 years of evidence to back that up

Yes, we've had other injuries but our 2 best players have been mostly healthy and we're 12-11...what happens when the next batch of injuries hit us? That will happen.

Yeah it’s weird. He just dominated San Antonio not that long ago but two fricking horrible games in a row

Its not hard to dominate San Antonio without Wemby.

That team is 0 for their last 15. 
Look he'll dominate a lot of teams in the regular season off of talent alone. But that's always been the case even if he's not on the greatest shape.

This team will never be better than a .500 record until the stars start to give a damn and play like they should. If you go through the losses we have to date, 5 to 6 of them should’ve been wins. This trend will continue until we are battling for another play in position when we should be locking up home court advantage

Whats sad is this team already had a come to jesus meeting. Now what??

Yeah it’s weird
Then he drops 23 total points on 16 shots in the past 2 games.

I truly believe we have the best 3 through 12. We don't have a 1 and a 2 that has proven to this point they can be a legit 1 and a 2.
Unfortunately, I think this is what we’re staring at. One of them is gonna have to go and I’m not even sure it should be BI anymore. Zion might need a change of scenery. I just don’t know what we could even get for him. He’d have to finish the season healthy and playing much better than he is right now.

It's just so funny cause all the NBA dudes and podcasts were just coming around and all of them were talking up the Pels recently as ready to breakout.
The tweets are starting to come out already and I'm sure we'll hear it nationally and on these pods about Zion, and it's all warranted.
16 shots and 23 points total in 2 games is wild. That will never ever ever happen with Jokic, or Luka or Lebron or SGA, and so on and so forth...
We all thought Zion could be a top 10 dude but these 23 games are showing us just how far he is from those guys and the scariest part, what single reason do we have to be confident he gets there?

In his press conference Zion kept saying he needs to be more aggressive offensively, he needs stop looking for the absolute best shot. I mean what baffles me does he not know that??? He came off a ten point game and this was his response???!!

It will be very telling how this team responds after this game. Do BI and Z get there shite together, or do they continue to cost through games barely giving a damn. History says nothing will change, but as a staunch supporter I’m hoping it does

But he says something to that affect every time he has a bad game.
Dude knows the right soundbytes to give, but he hardly ever backs those words up.

I went back and watched part of it again. There was a stretch in the 2nd quarter with Jaxson on him. 4 or 5 straight possessions. I swear it was the most space I've seen Zion have to operate all season, he didn't even think attack with the ball on all but 1 of those possessions.

Man they already had a big meeting after that 5 game losing streak because of the same damn issues. Like how many more god damn meetings does this fricking team need? Again losing by 20 I get it. Losing by 40- thats just fricked up and saying we quit.

Right now he's like the 30th best player in the league, on a max contract, is fat, lazy and a horrific injury history.
And he's supposed to lead us to the promised land. LOL
