Zion has the lowest PACE stat on the team when he's on the court, but he's in good shape right? It's actually worse through these 2 games than it was through his first 4 games of last year, and it was obvious he was out of shape to start last year.
Folks can blame being sick, it's literally every single season of his career that he's played. There's no reason to come up with excuses, he told us he wouldn't be 100% ready, believe him.

The only shred of a glimmer of hope we have is that he's just gonna be on that shaq plan. He used the season to play himself into shape and killed motherfrickers by the time he made the playoffs.
I'm just bummed. Really thought Zion could be a 1 of 1. Instead he's just another guy wasting his talents until proven otherwise.

Which is extra funny given how much hate I got, especially from 1 poster, in the "Zion revenge" thread. Hell, I didn't even say he would definitely not show up in great shape and conditioning. All I said was, just don't assume he 100% will just because he said he's out for revenge this season. And low and behold, look where we are now.

I don't think you gave too much commentary in that thread, just the initial report/quotes in the OP you added.

Even out of shape, the Pelicans were significantly worse with Zion off the court than when he was on the court. That says a whole lot about the others.

But we've barely been a positive with him on. Against bad teams, we should be dominating with him on so we can weather the non Zion minutes.

Wiggins now questionable too with a lower back strain.

What I don’t get about Zion is he genuinely looked good during the offseason. Were we all wrong, or did he run out of Ozempic for a few weeks?

Not "hate," Shel. Even in that thread, I told you that I liked you and valued you as a poster.

I kinda do think that he was in a real zone in his little personal training camp in Texas, and then he came back home and got out of his routine.
Shel, if you want to see this as my saying that you were right, go ahead, but I still think that he came into this season in the best shape that he's started a season. He definitely still weighs much less than at the start of last season.

I will say though, that Zion will look better and be much more effective when Trey is back. A big part of the reason that Zion struggled in the last Portland game was that he simply had no room to operate -- Portland had packed the paint.
CJ and Hawk do not space the floor for Zion the same way that Trey does. Trey's range and quick, high shot release mean that a defender has to stay further away from the basket.

CJ and Hawk both get shots off quicker than Trey, and move a lot more off the ball. I agree Treys range helps a lot, but that doesn’t mean he has more gravity than Hawk and CJ. Their defenders know they can’t leave those guys.
Zion will look better in 20 games when his lazy arse gets in better shape.

This comment definitely registered with me on media day.
And it was true.
I seriously don't get it

It would be nice for GSW to schedule these games as losses and regroup this weekend.

I'm not going to overreact. He's played two games coming off an illness. He isn't a fast healer.
He can look wily different shape wise in a week. Let's see how he looks tonight.
I predict a big game

I'm not overreacting either, it is what it is. I will give him a week to get over his illness.
However, a professional athlete shouldn't need 20 games to "play themselves into shape".
That dude should be ready to fricking go day 1 of training camp

What an absurd take
Cue the "with all due respect" meme...

People just didn't want to hear that, so they lashed out. But they knew it was true... Zion told us quite literally, and they still refused to believe it.
