13-1 run by the Pels after this comment lol. Every Pels game is a game of runs
Lonzo drives, misses the layup, but Zion gets the Offensive board and McCollum fouls him.
Yes, Lonzo, drive more. Good things happen when you drive, even if you miss.
Zion pokes the ball loose for the steal
Please stop letting Moore do this.
Edit: by ''this'', I mean dribble the ball in big loops around the court, refusing to pass, for like 10 seconds at a time, before bricking fadeaways. He does it like twice a game and it's never good.
How do they not call Whiteside on that foul. Holy crap he murdered Zion.
4/16 on 3's.
How about try another strategy?
Help us Zion, you're our only hope.
Frank Jackson is just tiring to watch. He moves around like a nervous rabbit. Ridiculously twitchy, never seems assured or confident in a move unless it's a wide open run to the hoop.
FRO JRUE: ENGAGE
Great scoop layup from Jrue
Zion LOB
If Frank's 3 had gone in, I think the arena would have exploded.
Frank Jackson just gave me a mean case of blue balls.
End of the first half! Stats as they are right now, with us down, 65-65
Starter Stats:
Jrue: 10 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, 2 steals. 4/6 shooting (66.7%), 1/3 from 3. 1 turnover, 0 fouls.
Zion: 17 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal. 6/9 shooting (66.7%). 5/6 from FT line. 1 turnover, 0 fouls.
Lonzo:5 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block. 2/7 shooting (28.6%), 1/3 from 3. 1 turnover, 2 fouls.
Hart:5 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists. 2/4 shooting, 1/3 from 3. 0 turnovers, 1 foul
Favors: 2 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists. 1/2 shooting. 2 turnovers, 1 foul.
Bench Notes: Melli has 6, Redick has 7, Frank has 5, Moore and Hayes each have 3.
Zion efficiency is other worldly.
So far tonight, Jrue has been great on both ends. Zion has been amazing on offense and solid on defense (best defensive game so far, probably!).
Everyone else has had moments of okay, in between chasms of ''oh god what are they doing''.
Not bad
Zion is 3rd in the league in at-rim gravity already; even if he doesn't try to score, passing it to him in the paint and allowing him to make reads and passes out will improve the looks everyone else gets.
Don't have to do it every time down the court, but it should definitely be one of the two or three top options.
Lillards first half: 10 points, 4/11 shooting.
Not a bad start. See if we can replicate that in the second half.
I'll give you a high five Josh
Pels up 3
Zion hits Whiteside in the chest again.
More FTs.
The fact that Zion can just hit 7'0, 280lbs Whiteside and completely move him is a testament to his strength.
Love the fight to get back in it. Need a clean 3rd Q. No turn overs please
What the hell?! The guy on the other side of the court overruled him? What the friggle?
Lonzo, shut off the "LA'VAR" half of your brain.
Zion is the absolute king of Moses Malone boards :hihi:
Zion so explosive
What caight a fire under Hart at half time
Hart playing with HART! Love it!
Zion is 19/27 from the FT line over his last 3 games.
That's good for 70.3%.
Huge improvement from his first 3 games, I think we'd say.
Oh yeah, also Zion's had 27 FTs in his last 3 games, and this game isn't even over yet :hihi:
From @ESPNStatsInfo: Zion Williamson is the first rookie since Dikembe Mutombo in 1991-92 to score at least 14 points in each of his first 9 career NBA games. The last 3 rookies to do it before Zion Williamson are Mutombo, Patrick Ewing and Michael Jordan.
