A winning team of felons is better than a losing roster of good "humans".
Good luck 'Te
Yeah griff knows what he’s doing. Why blow it up when we don’t even know what our team looks like fully healthy, and we’ve been able to win games even without guys? We need to be patient. We have time and youth on our side.
His name should be Zionless! He is a pathetic human being!
this is who Zion Weigh-A-Ton is: part-time NBA player, full-time Buffet monster, always "injured"
Sorry…guy is SOFT…injured all the time. Yes, other players are often injured…Curry…but Zion will not have a good career because he's weak and soft
disappointing for all pel fans, but not surprising!
ZION IS GONNA BE OUT FOR THE YEAR
Honestly. What is the % threshold of games missed that would qualify someone as being a BUST?! Maybe he’s not that yet, but I need the number on a sticky note next to my computer so I can be aware when to call it, because this won’t be the last injury of his career.
He has to high of expectations for this team . This team showed you they can win but also lose 10 straight which means we could use some changes to get better now Zion hurt again
Wishing a speedy recovery for Z 💪🏾
The goal is still the same and that is to get Zion and the entirety of the team more playoff experience. Unfortunately, this probably lowers expectations from a competitive 2nd round exit to a first. The Pelicans are going to have to build for injuries in the future.
Zion Williamson suffers setback, will miss more weeks after All-Star break… like MISS THE ENTIRE SEASON. The BIG FRA-GILE, Greg Oden 2.0. Who cares how good he is ,if he's in street clothes grazing on Krispy Kremes. 😋
I not sure we make playoffs without Zion…
As a Pelican fan, it's not fair to label Zion Williamson as just 'okay' and use disrespectful terms like 'soft' or 'easy to get injured'. He's a remarkable young talent and deserves our support and respect. Keep in mind, playing at his level with heavy minutes night after night is bound to take a toll. Let's show our true colors as proud fans of New Orleans and support Zion for all he brings to the court.
"Re-aggravate" yep that's a good way to put Zion injury updates. Need BI and the new guy keep us hot.
Just trade him
The Pels have the team to win now, but their current game plan is really not putting the players in the best position to win games consistently. They are not playing aggressive enough basketball on offense attacking the goal in the paint in the mid-range enough to help open up their 3 point shots. And, they are not staying disciplined on defense so they are giving up way too many easy shots to opposing offenses! They are going to have to work with Zion to help him develop more of a mid-range and 3 point shot. All this living in the paint is getting him beat up way too much. He's going to say injured if they don't get him to mix it up more like Zack Randolph & Charles Barkley eventually did to their games! This team is just way too dependent upon Zion, BI, and CJ to an extent to have to carry too much of the offensive workload! They need to play more together as a team on offense. They need to pass the ball around, create more off ball movement, make more cuts to the goal, advance the ball inside, find the open man, and score!!! Enough of all this passing the ball around laterally around the 3 point line then missing back to back 3 point shots falling way behind in games by double digits and not able to catch up. Two points are more than none with my math!!!
Griffin is so trash at his job man lol
L done with this season there goin back to they’re losing ways again zion re injured himself teams in the west got way better while you sat and did nothing this team is about to fall off the cliff good job baldy
Hopefully he can shake back soon the good thing is it’s not anything that requires surgery so just gotta support him and keep hope alive
Z will be back and better than ever once he learns his body like Travis kelce did he will be unstoppable wishing you a speedy recovery z keep ur head up big bro
Seems like we are back at square one with Zion all that money and we have to go into the play offs again with our players that took us there last year
