Whatever the reason, it leads to him trying all these scoops and floaters and layups and he just does not have them in his arsenal. He has some of the worst touch in the NBA on those shots, and needs to just stop it.

Agreed..

Listen, Zion played 6 minutes total in the first half.

If he's not going to play at least double that in the second half, I barely even see wht the point is. Why disrupt the offense dropping him in and then pulling him out for such small chunks? If you're going to play him, play him. I'm not even asking for 30 minutes on the night or anything, but 20? Come on, he had 18 in his first game back from missing months due to injury, you're telling me he can only get on pace for 12 after leaving the bubble for a week?

Jacked too many 3s end of the half

End of the half, Pels up 60-48

Pels might be the best neutral court team in basketball.

For as bad as we were for much of the year, we were about equal at home as we were on the road.

So being neither at home nor on the road is perfect for us; balanced, as all things should be.

Neutral Court Champions!

COOL Do this always.

Rudy blocked Zion which sucks because Gobert is a horrible figure

Damn this is some dismal play by us early here

3rd quarter Pels

ZION

Ingram just allergic to the concept of passing on those two possessions

ZION WITH THE BEHIND THE BACK BOUNCE IN TRANSITION TO LONZO

Wanted to say this in the first half. I want to see reddick with the 1st unit in place of lonzo

Spacing is weird in the first unit

That is pretty

Yeah I like that zion pass

Zion says he can give everyone else a great pass too.

Jrue makes the turnaround fader

Jrue pulls up for another

Then Jrue smothers the Mitchell drive and forces the TO

Runs are inevitable.

What the HECK JRUE!!!!!

Awful swing there, bad pass by Jrue and then awful transition D by Hart and Jax

Favors is moving around like he has shin splints.

Ever since Jrue has tried to take over this game... they have been coming back.

Jrue needs to stop being such a ball hog! He’s killing us!
