Lakers shot more 3s and have half the points in the paint yet shot 10 more FTs

There's no reason why Zion should only have just 2 FTs

Here we go

Pels ain’t winning this game or the next lmaoo

I actually think they beat Sacramento

ant has a better cast straight up.

they have no point guard

They could definitely use a point but Willie has no clue what he's doing. Terrible rotations, no scheme, no offense, no plan.

Zion's season high for Rebounds is 12? He needs to physically step up. Even Austin Reaves probably got higher Rebound total than that.

Wtf have the Pelicans been doing all these years? Zion surrounded by bums. They desperately need a fukking point guard, CJ is clearly just throwing shyt up. Ingram needs to stand in a fukking corner or come off the bench (trade him)

I still think BI/Zion can work but you need an actual PG to make that determination

CJ making $30m just kneecaps the Pelicans too much

Kira Lewis ain't pan out and Daniels looks like he can't do it either (and that's 2 lotto picks)

PG is gonna be HARD to find now.

you can't do shyt consistently on offense in the nba with no point guard tho. like even a *bad* point guard is better than nothing. like i get blaming the coach for maybe not developing a guy but this godawful cj/ingram two man game that goes nowhere speaks for itself. if the lakers get set, nola can't generate two good looks in a row

zion being an avengers level threat is the only reason LA isn't able to just sit down on every other player out there.

Bulls and Hawks have no business playing for that last seed

Such a gap between them and Miami/Philly lol

Reaves had a 16 rebound game against the Nuggets back in 2022

the problem now is that this is the era just hoping your best player can be your Luka, so they'll pray Zion can run point before seeking a facilitator (that and pure facilitators tend to lack the ability to be a bucket, so teams shy away from them)
