Why haven't you posted in that thread if they just regular season games

:russ:

:sas2:


I know why
You want me to post the same thing over and over again only for dumb ass nxggas not to listen to what I'm saying?

The very fact that muh'fukkas reduced my argument down to "Gil said Zion would be a bust" is all the more reason why you can't argue with folks who see things in black and white, and refuse to acknowledge any appropriate context. Again, when you have the majority existing in a sphere where the only discourse is about who averages the most points, rebounds, assists etc, there's no point getting them to acknowledge the bigger picture because they just don't see it in the first place.

I'm just questioning as to why you think he won't be right until the off-season. What information do you have that he's not right? The Grizzlies would hardly throw him back out there and play him for months on end without any rest if he wasn't capable of doing so.

He just has no confidence in his shot at the moment and it's affecting his entire game.

You really think u can come back from a grade 2 sprain that quickly and be right:why:

He was a different player before that injury

He was averaging 26.3ppg before and 17.7ppg after. That’s not the same guy.

The general timeframe of recovery for a Grade 2 is anywhere between 3-5 weeks. Keep in mind, that's in general for everyday nxggas; it's not a timeframe for world-class athletes, in the prime of their lives, who have access to the best treatment available. He returned after 16 days, which all things considered, yes, I do think he was right.

They had absolutely no reason to rush him back considering it was at the start of the season.

I've watched the majority of Grizzlies games, and I can tell you right now his ankle isn't hampering him. He even said so himself when he returned. The only thing he had issues with was his conditioning. If his ankle was an issue that was affecting his performance, the Grizzlies would've rested him by now. Especially given the fact that load management is a league-wide practice.
He was averaging 26.3ppg before and 17.7ppg after. That’s not the same guy.
He played THREE games before he got injured. That is not a big enough sample size to determine anything. And just because he's not averaging the same amount of points doesn't mean it's because of the injury.

Not to mention he had a three-game run at the start of March where he averaged 30 points (35, 35 and 21). So what you're telling me is his ankle isn't right, and you used his points average over the course of three games before he got injured, and yet he played over an entire month on this bad ankle, but then still averaged 30+ points over the same span of games?

:usure:

He's just in a bad space right now where he doesn't have confidence in his shot.

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
He proves my hypothesis about his game to be wrong, I'll gladly. Until then, y'all nxggas can fall over yourselves about a damn bunch of regular season games.
Your hypothesis was that he would struggle to average 16ppg and should come off the bench as a 6th man you fukkin pink bytch :gucci:
