Jax is dumb as ******** anyway

Zion should be available at least for this reason.

Well this looks familiar. Officials trying to make the series interesting

Alvarado has not been good this game

Coach green needs to put in Graham and Nance asap. Stop being stupid Willie and ride the hot hands

Some of our younger guys are starting to show their immaturity. Speaking of which, what is Jaxson's malfunction?

I just think we are rattled after that whole debacle. Need to settle it down. Hopefully no 3rd quarter blues

Dade probably passed down CTE to him

Dude has had anger management issues since day one, man. He got a domestic abuse case on him

Anybody still want to make the argument that Zion would hurt more than he helps?

Hurt the team shooting 36% from the field?

Team. Needs to wake up.

It was an intentional walk with 30 seconds left to pickup the 2 for 1.

But Mac, if he plays he might steal minutes from checks lineups Naji Marshall. How could we survive?

Really pitiful second quarter for a huge range of reasons. Awful. Better bounce back in the third big time

That was a frustrating half. What I could see of it anyway. Why did the Hawks, Heat matchup run so long?

This is where Willie comes into the equation. He has to get them back on track or this game is cooked. That was a terrible finish

This doesn't look good...

Everybody camping out at the 3pt line, nothing moving inside.

Hopefully Willie settles them down and harps on the turnovers.

Jax really hurt us with that junk we need a explosive rim protector ayton is eating us alive

CJ and Bi just doing a lot of ISO at the end, no ball movement, dribbling right into double teams, not good.

17 minutes in the first half off the bench from Naji, Jose, and Trey --- 0 for 3, 0 points, 1 rebound. No way Zion would give you more than that

What do you know on the Zion situation, because you talking us like we know something. I'm lost.

Dude puts a dunk on instagram and everyone assumes that he's ready to play NBA ball. When from what I've seen, the guy looks bigger than ever.

Graham’s couple 3s is a curse in disguise.

Thats a different discussion. The thing I still cant wrap my mind around is MULTIPLE posters saying that even if he was ready to go, we shouldnt play him because it would mess up the chemistry. Because, yeah, this team is just so talented that it dare not move a guy or two out of the rotation to make way for one of the most efficient weapons of all time

Jonas, CJ, and BI

9-28

They need to start making their shoots or facilitate better

He's been playing 5-on-5s for weeks at this point according to all the information we've been given.

He doesn't ''look bigger than ever'', that's absurd - there's no way he looks bigger now than he did, for example, when returning in his rookie season or even at points last year. There is no doubt in my mind that, unless there is some big medical thing they're hiding from us (which I doubt, given the 5-on-5s) he could play 15 minutes a night right now, especially if you play him against bench units. And we could really really use that; we're 10/24 from 2 so far this game, you're telling me that Zion couldn't help a little with that? At all? Come on.

Out of town friends got me walking all over the quarter but finally parked in check point Charlie's to watch.

What did Jax do to get ejected? Assuming something immature.

I’m all for keeping Zion, but would y’all trade him for Dame Time?

Don't you dare talk about our hero like that!

Our top 3 get cold at the same time too often and can't do anything to protect the paint.

No. I'm not interested in re-iterating the dual microscopic defensively awful guards that keep you capped beyond belief thing Portland had going on

This is, yet again, not being officiated evenly.

The oldest fan excuse in the book. Can we not, this one time?

Not the right time to ask this question, but I honestly don’t know what this team is missing to be considered a top 3-5 team in the league…Maybe a SG? PF?

All for drafting Paolo Banchero if we somehow get a top 3 pick

That was truly egregious. This isn't actually that bad. No game is ever called perfectly, this one isn't a complete car crash

Chet > Paolo > Ivey in that order imo. Draft the guy you think mostly likely to have top tier potential is usually a good philosophy

You’re missing another high end guard/shooter and a Rim protecting big that can block shoots. I say trade for Myles Turner. Dump Hayes. Draft Bennedict and hope to God he can be a guard.

We're due a good CJ game, so him hitting some shots is encouraging
