It’s one game. The amount of people melting about Zion and the team is absurd.

Looking forward to the season resuming with everyone healthy and going on a run.

Name all the players on Zion's level who have a 4 game span with games of 12/13/10 points.

I’m not falling apart over a meaningless loss

I’m falling apart over the fact that someone that could be THE BEST player in the league, not top 5, THE BEST

Can’t get his fricking conditioning together when the team is finally healthy. It’s embarrassing for a professional athlete

I've fallen for it too.

But it's 5 years of don't worry about that loss, don't worry about this or that, when we get healthy...

It's 5 years of excuses and a lot of losing.


We're 12-11 when healthy BI and Zion. What happens when they're not healthy this season? If we need our top 8 dudes to be healthy to win, that's a problem. Other teams are dealing with injuries too.

DING DING DING
I don’t know why it’s hard for people to understand, the game last night showed the huge disparity between Zion and a guy like lebron. One is a professional and a serious baller and the other just isn’t

Everyone is already healthy and we had our biggest loss of the season in the most meaningful game this season. This one game was the biggest of his career and he looked horrible. That says a lot.

Net rating with Zion on the court for his career:

2020: +4.7
2021: +1.7
2023: +7.3
2024: -1.3



Zion's On/Off by year:

2020: +7.6
2021: +5.6
2023: +6.9
2024: -2.2




We gotta stop doing the "only 1 game" thing. It's 23 games. We're past a quarter point of the season.

I was told the IST was the worst thing to ever happen to the NBA, one of the worst things in organized sports anywhere in the world, and would lead to the collapse of Western civilization.

Did we really want to be associated with winning that?

Quite a few players, but it's hard to look good when 1 guy doesn't even try to guard his man and ypu are ALWAYS in rotation on defense, then he just stands there on offense unless he gets the ball.

Yup and they looked horrible. I think thats a good thing it shows Griffin that you cant use injuries as an excuse.

The entire NBA world has noticed it and is talking about it. No melting or falling apart. He was kind of a big deal pic.

It is actually much worse than all of that.
