THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[pmatic]

So you’re saying they should just throw their franchise player fresh off of an injury to playing heavy minutes?

Don’t want to risk another injury by pushing him too hard too soon

He has to get into condition

He has to develop chemistry with the others among other issues

I could understand a more normal 7-8 minute stint like a starter typically plays.

Minus whale have him come off the bench until he can play normal stints.

Zion's debut was a Huge success. Very proud of him. Pels have a squad with him leading them.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Zion got going when he decided to get aggressive and had that drive where he spun into the lane and missed the lefty hook over I think that stiff white dude they traded Kawhi for. That was the only time he tried to create for himself. After that he got into a rhythm and feasted in the paint and knocked down some 3s the Spurs dared him to take. Doubt he ever makes 4 straight 3s the rest of the season. But if that's how defenses are going to play him he'll make them pay often enough and he'll wreak havoc in the paint if you give him all that space to drive. Also has enough playmaking chops to create for others in that situation. At worst he'll be like a souped up, more explosive, 300 lb version of Westbrook with a better shot.

Nah. People were already talking **** on how he played in the first half. He needs time to get into condition to be able to play 7-8 minutes

I Honestly think people are forgetting that BI is no slouch of a playmaker either. Out of all the young guys Lonzo will probably be the one who will lose reps (in terms of running pick & roll & more ball handling) but he's still an EXCELLENT fit next to Zion.

 

[pums]

BI and Zion should work but they both are best when played at 4. I think Zion can play the 5 eventually though.

 

[jbone2308]

How bout we just watch?

 

[SC kid]

I'm calling it now


He's going to shoot 100% from 3s the rest of the season

Didn't Zion do most of his damage at the 5?

And just like that he will miss his next 3

Couldn’t really protect the rim. Biting on fakes kinda outta position might need a couple games to get going there

[clyde the glide]

Refreshing to see ball play the position the right way

 

[pums]

Lonzo is just flat out a winning player

 

[addict4sneakers]

I’d rather watch Dame get 61 and play the wrong way

 

[QU!K]

All these message board doctors and nutritionists

So you're not concerned about his weight or that he'll re-injure himself?

 

[ill steelo]

What’s Zion post game meal looking like

i guess this will be a thing his whole career

 

[addict4sneakers]

So you're not concerned about his weight or that he'll re-injure himself?

No. He’s a physical anomaly. A true 1 of 1. He can break down just like any player in the league can break down.

Like my mans VARNELL HILL said, it’s a lot of people waiting for him to breakdown so they can say I told you so. F that. He brings an energy to the game that only he can.

 

[bballkid11]

Lonzo is just flat out a winning player

My guy. Yall can slander away. I know a winning player when I see one.
#1 pick probably not, but a great role player on any team that helps you win in so many ways.

 

[pums]

Quik been on that Zion gonna get injured BS from the start. The moment he got hurt he brought out his old posts saying that he would get hurt.


That’s beyond sad and corny
