⭐ OFFICIAL 2020-2021 NBA Off-Season Thread: Olympics begin 7/23; NBA Draft 7/29⭐

[everysingletime]

Zion was the only pelican to score the ball in the last 6:55 minutes, and he still doesn't touch the ball that last possession. He's too nice a guy. He needs alpha dog mentality and establish dominance on his teammates.

BI with the wild -29 +/-

Does Zion get any blame for being an all time athlete & being abysmal on defense... or do we just ignore that entire side of the ball & wonder why the team can't get any wins.

 

[B Sox]

Brandon “Rudy Gay” Ingram gotta fall back. Feed Zion and play defense.

trash take. Derozen is a slightly better version of Joe Johnson. Tier 2 SG’s always existed . He’d be Mitch Richmond lite in the era before.

Most def not better than Joe Smooth imo

He gets a pass for now cause he has been somewhat better. He was a trainwreck last year . He is making strides on that end. Next year is when the slander comes if they dont start winning

Still raw as hell

give him one more season tbh

 

[Peep Game]

PJ basically plays every game for years and now the piles of minutes, — especially having to do that gimmicky garbage small ball center stuff — has caught up with him. Excellent work Morey and MDA.

This is why the Pelicans lose. Zion scored 39 points and in these last two possessions they don't look Zion's way lol

They do this....a lot.

In fact I've been watching the pels play all season and I think Pels made it a point to give zion the ball for the final play, once.

Don't get me wrong their defense overall is a problem but despite their defense they've been in close enough games where they could've picked up some wins if they had better decision making on offense late in the fourth

PJ in Milwaukee

Lol yeah? Houston is in a rebuild. That's a good place for him.

Ingram gotta understand, it's zion team now. Ingram is great because of the work he puts in. Zion has a gift. They from different worlds. Can't let jealousy seep in and ruin the young core

 

[pums]

Its like they were hell bent on taking a three. Zion aint the guy for that.

BI is literally painful to watch.....

The “Young Core” guys keep taking L’s after L’s....

 

[Platinum State]

Got me thinking giving Ingram the max wasnt a great idea after all.
I think his contract might haunt them

 

[clyde the glide]

Harden is hilarious u beat the pistons by 2

 

[millzszn93]

Miami court look fire

Lol what are you saying so you let him walk cause plenty of teams would give him the max . What’s the point. Of the ad trade then ? Josh hart and lonzo ? The problem ain’t the young core it’s the vets Adams can’t play defense and so can’t Bledsoe . Young guys are improving on defense . Watch the games adams gets cooked on defense every game . He can’t score and just clogs the paint when Zion drives in hoping he can get a rebound because he can’t do anything else . The pels and David Griffin wasted zions years this year getting Bledsoe and Adams two players who don’t fit Zions game ? And they got contracts for another two years .

Nah he’s still a train wreck. He doesn’t even try a lot of the time.

Yeah he def doesn’t deserve a pass defensively. Nobody on that team does.

Hes a joke....is he aware in the playoffs he won’t be the guy getting clutch shots? You came to the nets to be a sidekick nothing more
