They're finally feeding Zion and having the offense go through him. Maybe SVG is learning... Maybe...

And when Zion is in a position to get a career high, guess what? The Pels are so far ahead that SVG will sit him !!!

But it's the Wizards (That's how you do it here right? Downplay everything Zion)

Lol this team is just far too predictable.


Game scripts by Scorsese.


Completely ignore Zion in the second half and lose a double digit lead to an eventual loss.


They'll somehow find a way to drop it against a 10 man Wizzards roster.

Didn’t Zion have like 20 in the 1st quarter? The boys on nbatv crunch time were talking like Wilts record was going down.

Finally, a dub.


Liked the synergy between BI and Z today. Effortless 32 for both of them, but they both played within the offense and didn't press.

Also liked seeing Adams killing it on the glass. I can tell they're making him the default boardman to help him get involved since he's the odd man out on offense. Even if that means Z's numbers falter....else he'd be the definition of stat chasing.


Going to need to bring it friday against the Bucks.

Supreme efficiency from Zion, also 8-11 from the charity stripe. Ingram with better shot selection and knocking down some threes. I get it’s the Wizards but it’s a step in the right direction for the Pels. Definitely going to need big games from both for them to hang with Milwaukee.

Adams is essential regardless of all the not enough spacing for Zion talk. Getting three point shooters will create more space than losing Adams, and you would miss out on the myriad of positive attributes he brings to the Pelicans. Hopefully the Pelicans make a move or two in this direction.

College taught us something. The boi has a smooth stroke. Def ain't no shake from the stripe.

I agree....I love Adams, and letting him clear the boards at least gets him involved and plays to his strengths...which is bodying 5's on clear outs. I can see the vision...they're trying to get Zion back in transition early to push tempo and press the defense. They need to do more of this. There is no reason why this team shouldn't be playing at a top 5 pace.

So as far as I could tell, the zion optic gold vinyl auto hasn't been pulled yet. Since all of his optic autos are redemptions, what happens if it isn't pulled by the time the redemptions expire? It's a pretty iconic card and would be absolutely brutal for someone to pull say in like 3 years and not get. Does panini do anything differently for 1/1 redemptions like that or would they just backdoor it to a panini employee?

Anyone else taking notice of his improvement on FT% already? I take this as a good sign of things to come. His one 3 pointer last night didn't look all that bad or off either.

It’s been said plenty but once he starts rebounding more aggressively it is going to get weird.

Just a ho-hum 32 points on 75% shooting. No big deal.

Zion is terrible. He should've had 65 on 99% shooting to justify these prices

¯\_(ツ)_/¯








I kid, I kid. The man is an animal. Need more Z

Only superstars put up those stats and it's already been determined that Zion is a poor man's Elton Brand by the court of Blowout opinion. This is as good as it'll ever get.

When Bill Russell was 20 he had 17 championships under his belt. How about Zion? Just a weight watchers belt. No rings.

This is Blake Griffin 2.0. Can't believe these prices. ༼ つ ಥ_ಥ ༽つ








Again, I'm joking. This kid is an animal. Love his game. Sky is the limit.

Let's not forget that he was also 8-11 from the line last night and his FT % is currently at 73.3% for the month of January.

Teams will not be able to 'hack-a-Zion' and just automatically send him to the line if he continues to be respectable at the line.
