That wasn’t the plan lol. Dude is trying to spin a positive out of lackluster effort players who didn’t give a shite.

You mean a coach who is trying to establish a winning culture and is trying to hold players responsible for playing hard and showing up? Yes they do then. But its ok Willie has a master plan of purposely telling his players hey dont give a shite and just run around for conditioning lol.

Remember when I mentioned the intellectual people that are begging for Zion to get hurt during preseason?

As far as the role players go, dribbling isn't the issue. Their issue is hesitation. They tend to pass up on open looks and over passing the ball when they should be looking to attack and shoot. They just don't have the aggressiveness and mentality to punish teams for collapsing in the paint and walking off Zion.

Naji is probably the only one who would pull the trigger without hesitation and we need more of that from the role guys.

No because Zion playing hard in preseason is an extra unnecessary risk as long as he’s conditioned and in shape.

The fact that I have to explain that…

But he clearly is not.

Half our team looks slow compared to the Jazz and Rockets.


Edit: I am the biggest CJ hater on this board and I have concluded he is the best conditioned to start the season RIGHT NOW on the entire team. When he doesn't have the ball in his hands I see why they brought him over.

If hes conditioned and in shape why is he a risk lol. He is a NBA player right? The fact you think thats normal behavior on how to deal with a NBA player is part of the crazy thinking some of these fans have been brainwashed with.

His injury history or the fact that he has gotten injured in preseason doesn’t play into any of this I guess. Zion has been such a normal NBA player right?

Geez you are quite the philosopher

You mean Magic and Rockets?

Nope he is not in shape at all.

His 12pts/ 5reb/ 5ast in 15min the first game was all a fluke.

Dude is slow, lazy, and just doesn’t give a frick.

Man y’all are ridiculous

I’m a philosopher because I think a NBA player who is conditioned and healthy cant play hard competitive basketball in a preseason game to establish chemistry and competitiveness with his teammates so we can start winning when the regular season starts???

So Im assuming your plan in the regular season is to keep him on a minutes watch even if we lose games as well right? Even though hes healthy and conditioned because hes Zion right?

My plan in the regular season is to avoid your dumbass responses. Although I’ll admit it’s been a struggle.

Several times he wasn’t putting full effort. Don’t believe me go see clips on twitter from the game. One where him and BI literally just stared at the ball before Brooks grabbed an offensive board. So yes he played like lazy shite last night. Just cause he played hard against magic, doesn’t mean he did against the rockets. Both facts can be true.

not get physical and to just be on the court for conditioning.

This can be done on a treadmill, if that was the “plan” as you say they wouldn’t have played the starters at all and just had 5 treadmills set up in the locker room for them to run on.

You just proved everything I’ve been saying the last 2 pages lolol.

Yes he played hard against the Magic. That was the game plan.

Yes he did not put in full effort against the Rockets and we didn’t try to fight for rebounds. That was part of the game plan..

The game plan isn’t “play starters for 35min and go undefeated in preseason”

Did Zion run the court for his 22minutes? Did he get hurt? Awesome game plan was successful.

Leave me alone

Magic yeah sorry ive been watching too many NBA games this past weekend.

I dont think he doesnt give a frick, but I do think he was clearly frustrated with the touches.

And yes regardless of the stat line from Magic game in 17 min the dude was clearly getting his air.

When you now make 30+ Million a year im not giving you any leeway. Lebron gets cooked for the smallest things, and we should EXPECT high level play ANY time he actually plays.
