🚨 SCARY HOURS ZION 🚨 He could take Pelicans to the Western Conference Finals – JWill | First Take
Time for a quick take it’s actually going to be more of a medium take if I’m going to be honest with you last night the Pelicans took down the Bucks behind a 28 point performance from Zion Williamson Zion has been on his game jayw well how far can he take his team
In the playoffs I think Zion could take him to the Western Conference Finals I often give him he is like Mike Tyson fighting in the foam Booth that’s the way he carves up your body perk and you think about the way herb Jones plays think about the way Trey M Trey Trey
Murphy thei third uh bi when it comes back like this team to me has the makings of a team that could get there granted the road is difficult man but the one thing I see from him perk is after all the stuff that’s happened this year about the
Inaugural in season tournament about all the jokes about his weight whenever you talk to anybody in that organization he’s doing what he has to do it feels like he’s falling back in love with the game from a work perspective and to me that scary hour Zion that’s a team that can go
Far yeah really far and I got them actually as my sleepers to come out of the West I believe with looking at the western conference outside of the Denver Nuggets the clip has been inconsistent I mean the Phoenix Suns are inconsistent the Pelicans have all the pieces and
We’re talking about Point Zion right now because he has done a great job of not only making love to the paint but actually making others around him better and then on on top of that I’m watching this game last night and you know the thing the the the thing that happened
That like you know hit a light switch for me he took a charge late in the game against Yannis And the emotions that he showed the passion that he showed I was like you know what he’s in a great place right now mentally because we all know
And you know this Jay as a former Hooper when your mind is in the right place you’re going to perform at an elite level and right now it look like Z has corrected and made sure that everything or all the issues that were affecting
Him off the court are not are not as not doing that anymore and he’s corrected that so I’m looking at this Pelican team and the way Zion has been playing medium Zion he’s not big but he’s not skinny yet medium Zion and the way he’s been dominating they definitely could go to
The NBA finals by the way you know we often talk about this and I know people at home may see this as trivial but especially for Zion like how many years have we seen this dude look miserable on the bench being being hurt dealing with the media
Dealing with the weight issues he said last night he said we’re having fun yeah we’re playing for something that’s a different energy that a young team like that needs cuz they’re actually playing for one another that’s a game changer [Applause] man is

Zion taking the Pelicans to Golden Corral
This team, my team, will finally be ready and make some noise in the playoffs! 🏀🇬🇧
Been waiting to see Zion healthy in a playoff series
Big boi Zion ain’t scary dude will get gassed in the playoffs 😭😂💀
with respect Jay Williams seems to be habitually blowing things out of proportion when someone responds to a question. listen better bro
I love you Draymond Green H O F
Go Pels ⚜️⚜️⚜️
I’d love to see New Orleans n Minnesota go at it, Zion v Ant Man would be a Goliath match.
Perk doesnt even realize that the charge got overturned what a clown
Making the WCF means they beat Denver in the semi and likely advance to the finals. No I don't see that happening. Despite Clippers current form I still trust Kawhi, Lue and even PG/harden more than anybody on pelicans.
Him only being an inside scorer is a problem. They won’t have any success in the playoffs.
Not very far history tells us this. Same thing every year. Disappointment and first or second round exits out of playoffs every year. What makes this year's pelicans any better okay. Same with Clippers till they actually do something in playoffs hush Jay lol.
Bron is gonna humble Zion again very soon. I guarantee it.
Jay Williams is a Weasel
Good job yall got click out of me, no longer watching first take. This is the worst take ever JQuill
He’s going to take them to the 1st round. Thats it
😂 the first round exit
But luka can't
How far can he take them? I don't know, how far is the all you can eat buffet bar? 🤣
As far as Cancun, so pretty far!
He can take em All the way
Zion healthy and they still making fat jokes. Keep eating in every way Zion!
Rn Zion is no doubt in the best shape of his nba career rn. Sources said he came into this season at 295. He lost 25 pounds since December 9. That means he’s at 270. The lowest weight he’s been in his career.
I think they can get to the 2nd rnd
Moriah Mills.
Listen to all that haven't been in. Get off our stick before yall jinx us. Let us ball in peace dont come start joining the band now. Ride out
The Pels will go as far as Zion will take them. If he stays locked in they can make some noise. We shall see. Happy for the young brotha!
Repent and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior and receive salvation
Perk has been the only believer in the pelicans all season
The pelicans are the most underrated team in the west
There not beating the Clippers in a 7 game series , so they will go out in first round
They look more ready for the playoffs.
As far as his diet
Just glad he's finally healthy for a playoff run, so far. They're looking good
The Pelican are second round team at best. They might be in the WCF but they won’t. Most definitely not the finals. If any team being a sleeper it’s the Mavs
💪😤
Pelicans will not beat the Clippers in the 1st round 😂😂
Im sorry, zion is good, but 23/6/5 averages (which are good numbers) are not anything to be overly afraid of. I've seen too many good defenses lock down/limit one dimensional players too many times in 7 game series when teams have more time to gameplan defensively. Hell, giannis has even been haulted and limited in certain matchups over the years….and he's better than zion. The pelicans are a good, not great team and could win a series or two if the matchups fall in their favor, but i cant see them in the west finals. Their outside shooting is too weak and in todays game, if they are bricking outside shots and the other team gets hot from deep, it will be hard to overcome larger deficits.
Zion will face the championship caliber clippers in the first round
If he can pass clippers he will either face 1st seed nuggets or potential 1st seed okc
Zion playoff format is not a cakewalk
Face healthy clippers
Even if they beat clippers they need to dethrone the defending champs nuggets first seed
Even if they beat nuggets they will face okc or timberwolves in wcf
If they beat all west, worry the celtics
He’s too fat lol
I'm rooting for the pelicans to go far
