Is that why I got an email regarding tickets.
Nah. That was an advertisement for the half off suites. They come equipped with P Diddy already there ready for arse action upon arrival.

If they're letting him talk to the press, it must be good news for his possible return
This is exactly what I meant when I made that thread a few days ago. I wish they asked him how does it feel right now, does it feel like it will be normal in a week or something like that.
The big thing here is, he is out speaking on wanting to return and it being a realistic possibility, if Griff gets in the way of it, Zion will be in front of the media to let us know that that garbage arse GM is just willing to throw away another season because he wants to continue the kid gloves approach.
Abd if that happens, him and Willie are gone for sure, and mission accomplished.

Ballys New Orleans is the local tv.
From what I can tell, the only options are Bally Sports New Orleans (not on YouTube TV) or NBATV (blacked out in Louisiana).
It's been said a 1000 times, but its just insane that in 2024 we still have these issues.
Is streaming online that big of an issue for people in Louisiana?
I assume y'all got fire sticks and can find out how to use a web browser on them, there's free websites that host the games by every broadcasting option, with pause and rewind.
No offense brother but this is the first website I've used since like 2011 where I seen multiple people unhappy about watch options, I've used free watch options online since like 2005, from Laptop/Tablet HDMI to TV.

I’m sure he is “pushing it”. Chance of reinjury is too high with the hamstring, though. Doubt we see him until we reach the conference finals

They mentioned yesterday that the “2 weeks” timeline is simply the earliest that they will do a re imaging on the hamstring. I can’t imagine him doing much of anything without knowing how it’s healing
That's why I said we need to hear that he is pushing the team to do the imaging sooner if it starts to feel better and he thinks he can do more.
I'm tired of the injury situations with this team, it's the playoffs now bro if you can go, you should be pushing to go as soon as possible, or ill continue to feel like this is not a serious franchise.

Posted by MidWesttoNO on 4/20/24 at 9:12 am
Seriously. Even if he doesn't make it back or the team refuses, so we can clown them for it. We can assume going forward that the FO still wants to use kid gloves.
By next week we need to hear media talking about how hard Z is working to get back out there to give us an impression on how serious he is about that greatness title. If he feels good enough to go,I'd rather hear that he wanted to play and the team refuses because it gives us an indicator that the front office has been kinda bitch made..

And this is why you can't lose so many games to the frickin spurs, bulls, jazz and these other scrub teams. Instead of having seeding clinched and a week off, you're frickin around in this useless play-in tournament. Willie Green and this front office need to be fired. Garbage leadership for this franchise as usual.
They really sat my **** for a finger injury lmao

I saw Zion shoot more Middies last game than any other combined
Right lol. He's shot 2+ each of the last 4 or 5 games.
Z hitting a 3 was +600 yesterday, added that to my parlay and all I needed was that 1 3pter and I woulda been up 3700 off 10$. I had Z 30pts, BI 1 3pter, Herb 3 3's, AD 20pts, Bron 20pts, Russel 3 3's, Zion 10 reb.

It's dangerous ASF, but it's definitely possible that they want to play OKC and once Z got banged up they internally decided to drop this game and focus on SAC.

How about just stop hating and give the dude his respect. He's locked my dawg down ONE ON ONE all night, and has done this to multiple NBA stars.
It's completely possible to acknowledge that bro is a historically impactful defender, and call him a bitch at the same time if that's how you feel fam.
Chill out.

Dirty is in the eye of the beholder lol.
I see dirty as trying to injure people. Dray might punch you, slap you, kick you, he might even bite a **** one day. However, not while they are in the air............

Don't ever let me catch you tlsaying some shite like "the NBA is too buddy buddy for me" while simultaneously dogging out Dray, who is constantly confrontational.
I love that dude. Herb is bred from the same cloth ON THE COURT and could teach him a lot. As great as Herb is, Dray has been a defensive QB since day 1 and has been one of the most impactful non scorers in NBA history.

My stream is behind, but god damn Draymond is such a a great frickin defender man wtf.
I've never seen Zion struggle to even get a shot up or a clean look. Dray locking my dawg up low key. Greatest defender over ever seen in this game.

re: Post up fadeaways and pull ups from 8-15 feet, Z probably has made more than he missed

The crazy thing is it looks so smooth and natural for him. He needs to start using it more. Zion completely took over the 3rd quarter when we desperately needed it and looked like a true superstar
In year 2, he was 7-8 in fadeaway jumpers from the post, rookie year he was 1-1, last season he was like 4-7.
I've been saying for years that bro has one of the cleanest jumpshots in the NBA and when he shoots it off the dribble, it's a lafy hand MJ. He gets so much lift man, and the release is so clean looking. Always has been.
Bro is just so good getting to the basket that he is reluctant to take a less efficient shot. However, it's not really less efficient when you are that good at it. Take em more man.

I'm hoping there's a documentary years from now about the 23-24 Pels championship season, where some analyst says, "......and then Zion took a pull up jumper... and everything changed"
I'm all for it lol
Post up fadeaways and pull ups from 8-15 feet, Z probably has made more than he missed
Posted by MidWesttoNO on 4/12/24 at 8:50 am
I'm talking 2 handed stop and pop jumpshots, since some people consider mid range floaters to be the same, it's not. Don't make the mistake of going to a shot chart to challenge the topic, because every shot he's taken from that range was not a jumpshot like pull up.
Prior to this season thru his career, Zion had taken about 12-13 Jordan like post up fadeaways, he made at least 9 of them. Antonio Daniels mentioned this last season in a broadcast, and it's an official stat somewhere for it. I don't think he's taken any of those this season, so I'm sure that number hasn't changed much.
Now that he's taking the pull up (has probably taken less than 10 in his career, still hasn't taken a middy outside of 15 feet), he is clearly a much better shoitee than hes ever gotten credit for.
These jumpers are a Jordan like level of clean. High lift on the jump, clean flick of the wrist, can make them while fading in each direction (the pull ups only, all the post fadeaways were turning left), gets it up quick (pause), ect.
This dude will average 32+ next year if BI is gone and the team is built properly around Z.
