I keep questioning whether to post anything or not on this board. This has got to be the worst message bord on the World Wide Web since the ESPN boards pre-Katrina. Ya'll some whiny arse bitches. Say the same old shite over and over like you a Crip Cuz or something. Wack-arse lame old shite over and over. If you are so dissatisfied start being about Broadway or ballerinas or some shite. Zion built a curtain way it ain't going to change no matter how hard he works no matter how much he tries to lose weight shite ain't going to change, homie ain't losing muscle and he is always going to take a lil bit to get into midseason form. Get used to it! Pray he don't get hurt. Like it or not he's the the only way we going to win a chip anytime soon. So be about that clown arse B.S. repetitive as CRAP. Or you could stop with the childish B.S

You should have listened to your conscience on this one buddy lol

Here I’ll make you feel better with this post since constructive criticism annoys you.

Zion is awesome! Go Team!

I'll say. Didnt mean that towards the sane posters. Meant it towards the mark arse buster who post the same crap. Always Barking at fellow fans, just negative lil cellar dweller. Just want to be Argumentive for the hell of it. No substance all lil sissy I don't know what gender pronoun to call them.

It's hilarious how you think Zion needing 10-15 games to get his conditioning right every year and having to pray that he doesn't get injured is somehow normal.

And you seem to think people should accept it because you believe that's just the way it is and it is not Zion's fault but the fanfase fault.

I don't think it's normal. Nor do I think Zion is a normal basketball player, he might never work out. But at the same time how many times people going to say the same thing? He is as abnormal as they come. Without looking at the stats I bet he's putting up numbers very few have ever had. This year.

Excuses. Doncic, Joker, and even Embiid is managing just fine. And they are 1 of 1 athletes who has/had weight issues.

Does it ever get old fetching water for a franchise that hasn’t strung two decent seasons in 21 years?

It may sound like it, not trying to make excuses for Zion. Except one. His body naturally will always take time to get into game shape. Doncic Flaby, Joker Flaby. They would crumble if they went hard to the rack like Zion. If Zion healthy this year, him and Embid will have had a similar start to their careers, health-wise.(might need to check myself on that close enough) Last year Zion came in Jacked this year Jacked he is never going to be anything but Jacked. Years before he was a fat lazy SOSB.Facts don't = excuses.

Embiid learned how to shoot. Zion in year 5 has not developed a shot whatsoever. Not a pull up, not a middy, not a 3 point shot, nor a floater. Nada.

Zion style of play requires him to be in peak conditioning. And that's a huge problem right now.

But last year he had us best record in the league? west? With out B.I. With some numbers. And good to great D. With a pretty bad start. Maybe we need B.I. to go down again. Or maybe the rest of our team could not be the most injured cursed team I have ever witnessed. any way Zion is Fat, B.I. a btch, C.J. old not a PG. Now Murphy is injury prone. Jose too. If you a Pels fan minus well figuratively jump off the Crescent City Connection. Oh Wait

This franchise has A LOT of fricking problems, but Zion IMO isn't at all one of them.

He definitely is. It may or not be his fault, but how many games has he missed in his career?

Until he starts playing defense and getting rebounds he’ll never be a star. Just because he can finish at the rim doesn’t make him a star he’s a one trick pony right now. He’s every capable of putting it all together but I’ve yet to see it this year

He’s been better on the defensive end. As good as he could be? Absolutely not, but definitely better.

He’s poking the ball out when he has a chance and he does get rebounds. Zion will never be a 10 rpg guy simply because of the attention he gets, but he’s averaging 7 per game which is not horrible.

Now I will admit his effort on defense is horrible, he seems to just be jogging around rather than running, but after his comments last night it seems like he feels the coaching staff doesn’t have faith in him which is probably demoralizing.

the media has already made him a star. I think it’s just a matter of time before he wants out and play in a bigger market

What I really want to know, is were Griff's comments about Zion having that literal off the charts cardio treadmill test during the draft/rookie testing just another lie, or was pre-NBA Zion in amazing shape? It just seems hard to believe that someone can go from off the charts fit to whatever it is we get in October and November if he's healthy. But it would be an odd thing to lie about, even for Griff.

Well that was about 25-30 pounds ago so it makes sense. I don’t think people realize the difference. Just google Zion duke or Zion rookie season and see the difference.

Griff lies about everything. Its part of the problem- hes more interested in sellinh the product than making the team better. A guy like Pat Riley basically calls people out and says they’re out of shape. Griff is more interested in selling the hype and tickets.
