They're babying him and it's annoying for us and you can tell he's irritated by it too.

[Taker597]

If Zion didn't have crazy efficiency. He be called a bust by all accounts.

This is the wrong way. No other team has never done this. Not for a rookie who hasn't fully earned this kinda treatment. I mean, we have an off-road vehicle and we only take it out the garage to drive and pick up groceries.

Turn the damn thing loose. Get some mud on it, for crying out loud.

[boot318]

Fire Gentry! I refuse to look at this crap for another year!! Team will be marginally better next year if he stays.

[PaKwAn]

At least we get a higher pick lol

[Butters]

Damn!!! So close!!!

[Taker597]

Death by Moore.

Feels like that is first

[Eman5805]

If Zion didn't have crazy efficiency. He be called a bust by all accounts.

So if Zion didn't have a level of play the likes of which is defined by Hall of Famers...he'd be a bust.

That's a hot take.

[Nichols]

We lost a lot of momentum with Hart getting torched by Clarkson on offense.

[JJackisangry]

Poorly drawn play. Ingram almost bailed Gentry our there

It's really pathetic.

He's either available to play or he's not.

If he's not, don't dress him, don't play him 15 minutes.

If he is, then play him real minutes.

Don't draft the best prospect of the decade and then refuse to play him more than 3 minutes at a time at the beginning of quarters. If you do that, and he is healthy, frankly that alone is a fireable offense.

[13 - 3]

Wtf ? Is our game over?

[JJackisangry]

Death by Moore.

Feels like that is first

I blame him and Lonzo for tonight

[Pelicanidae]

Somehow this might be the most frustrating loss of the entire season. Christ.

[ragincaucasian]

We have a beast sitting on the bench and lose by 2. Gentry should have just stayed home and let Vinson coach.

[As I See It]

Say what you want about the eleven man rotation, every starter had a negative +/-.....all six subs has a positive +/-. Maybe Alvin knows his team better than we think.

[13 - 3]

Fire Gentry

[luckyman]

Better coached team won. Gentry allows his team to fall in love with jump shots.

Then the nightly hodge podge weird lineup to start the 4th. He has to do it at least once per game.

[Eman5805]

Don't quote +/- like it means anything significant.

[Pelicanidae]

Just wanna note, wide open Redick at the end there.

Wide open shot from one of the best 3 point shooters of all time, or a pull-up 3 from a guy who is a 29% pull up shooter this season?

Hard choice to make, apparently.

[Pelicanidae]

At least not single game lol

[HartOfaPelican]

One thing I can agree with everyone else.... fire Gentry!

[Taker597]

So if Zion didn't have a level of play the likes of which is defined by Hall of Famers...he'd be a bust.

That's a hot take.

You’re missing the context. If had just average efficiency. Everyone would be calling him a bust with these minutes for 1st overal generation pick.

You expect any 1st overall round pick to be good with only 15 minutes and don't get to finish games. It didn't take long for Fultz to get the bust label. People jump the bust train at any signs of mediocrity or unavailability.



It's really not that hard.
