Ok, because it's rich coming from me, tell me, what makes Zion a terrible defender? I would like to know specifically what makes him bad on that end. Obviously pointing out your stupidity doesn't get us anywhere, so as earnestly as I can say this, enlighten me on the subject. I'd rather have actual basketball discussions on this forum than sassy back and forths, so please, educate me?
Love love love that Ingram find on the cutting Zion. Great, quick decision making
Hart looked like he was limping on the way to the bench after the three just now.
Both Hart and Lonzo passed up wide open 3s on that possession to dribble into something worse.
If you get a wide open 3 point shot, you either have a better option or you take it. No ''well, I'll just not bother and hope something else comes up''.
Right now the Pelicans have two plays on offense: Zion shot, or turnover. Nothing else happening.
Edit: literally as I send that, Hart hits a three. Keep doing that
Lonzo, that stupid jab step fade away at the free throw line is NEVER, EVER a good idea.
There's the 3 from Lonzo, that's what we need. He needs to catch and either move it or fire. That's his half-court role.
Hart warming up from the 3pt line at this point, vital shooting
1. Awful in Space....easily exploited
2. Doesn't move his feet well...gives up angles
3. Loses his man ad nauseum...a backdoor waiting to happen
4. Plays with his hands and reaches (cheap fouls)
5. Late in his rotations
6. Often gets himself in foul trouble (and yes some are offensive...am I allowed to say that?)
Hey, but don't go by what I say, how frequently is he subbed out late in games (for Hart) defensively?
14 TOs in the first half. 3 from Redick, 3 from Ingram, 3 from Zion. Need to clean that up in the second half; stop giving them extra opportunities.
Otherwise, I like how we turned things around in that second quarter, particularly in the spot where Zion sat. He was the offense at that point, so seeing them find stuff to work - particularly from deep - is huge

Glad to see Kyle Anderson has gained another gear. Too bad it's even slower.
INGRAM: GO TO THE DAMN RIM AND SHOOT. STOP PASSING ON EVERY DRIVE.
Zion with another bucket.
He has 20 points on 8/11 shooting (72.7%) including 1/1 from 3 and 3/3 from the line.
