D tightend up and this got a whole bunch easier. Good finish!

 

[Avery]

We win again. How could you not love this team right now?

 

[framer]

D tightend up and this got a while bunch easier. Good finish!

I mean New Orleans was not going to continue to hit 80% from 3 on high volume.

 

[zyzz]

Shaq really pounds the ball a lot more than I thought he would

 

[KqWIN]

At least Shaq Harrison thinks he's Zion lol.

 

[infection]

So this is the type of situation where it becomes mental. If we break out of it, we’re legit. My confidence isn’t that high, though.

Well, there you have it.

 

[campaignist]

Shaq (o’Neal) is just sooooo cringe

 

[framer]

The win was great, making sure Zion didn't get that damn "30 points three games in a row!" was spectacular!

don not happy with the shaq ambush on live tv.

 

[Friend2bees]

Mike Effing Conley continues to kill it in plus minus. Him and Bogdanovic were both +23 to lead the team.

 

[Ellipse]

What the hell, the TNT crew put DM on the mic just so they can bitch about him not being a "superstar"?

 

[JimLes]

Conley is smart. Getting Zion involved in every defensive action and continuing the onslaught.

You know, even after watching the NBA for well nigh three decades, at times I forget how big of a jump it is from college to the pros. Most rookies and sophomores are bad on defense because they've never had to deal with NBA offenses.

Mike Conley is a 13-year NBA veteran and I think if you let him go back to Ohio State right now and play, he'd take them to Final Four in a pinch. Rudy would probably put up Wilt-like numbers in the NCAA right now.

Zion has a lot of practice time to put in before he's not a liability of offense. You're playing with the big boys now.

don not happy with the shaq ambush on live tv.

don also not happy with shaq talking about Rudy's salary on live tv.

 

[JazzMan4Life]

Soooo that TNT interview....
now taking bets on how much drama this creates.

 

[framer]

If I were the Pelicans, I would design the offense around Ingram and putty the cracks with Williamson, at least for the time being.

 

[LogGrad98]

Shaq (o’Neal) is just sooooo cringe

His insecurity is hilarious. He sounds like a pouty teenager mad that his friend got a Ferrari when all he had to drive in high school was a Corvette.

 

[fishonjazz]

Heave the ball, Conley. Heave the ****ing ball.

Normally I'm right there with ya. I'm gonna forgive him on that one though

It also shows how much you can get away with at the college level. Zion was a dominant defender at Duke through sheer physical domination. Kat was was incredible too in college. But you're right, the NBA is a different game. If you don't think the game at an NBA level, you're toast. His conditioning is bad and that's definitely holding him back, but like KAT he's just not a smart of defensive player for it to matter anyways.
