    He was pretty good on d for a rookie last year too. This year it just seems to be a bit of sophomore slump, which is fine honestly. Gotta get the teething issues out at some point, no matter how frustrating it can be at the time.

    Zion barrels towards the basket like a rino and then has the softest touch to finish, its such a contradiction

    From what I can tell his struggles arent in one on one iso situations, but rather in understanding how to move in the scheme, who to pick up and when to do it. Which indicates that he does have the ability of a good defender but his defensive IQ hasnt gotten there yet.

    Timeout crowd dancing to get on TV in the NBA is wild to me

    You would never see this in basically any other league in the world

    Yanks are nuts

    We bring it close, then make a series of weird/absurd plays which compound with some unfavourable calls in the worst moments and the deficit balloons again. It's rinse and repeat at this point.

    Herb just did it twice in a row! Stole the ball from Morant and got a bucket, then forced an up and down by getting in the passing lane. Thats why this guy gets to play despite bricking his 3 pointers

    Ja Morant is really good, like really really good. I dont think you can double team him either because he will find the open guy. Just have to hope Dyson and Herb can slow him down.

    Letting Morant to shoot 3s seems to be the move. He is 0 for 5 from the arc.

    That's a good TO

    That's it. The way to defend Morant is to make him shoot jumpers

    If we could string together like, 3 minutes of legit play we could go up 10 pretty easily far easier said than done

    CJ replies to a stepback 2 with a stepback 3 lmao

    What a time for him to make his first 3 of the game

    zion with the turnovers....willie should have taken him out earlier to give him a rest....and call some plays for other players to get get looks to score....

    Grizz lead is 4 going into the 4th.

    On paper, that's a very competitive game, but we just cannot seem to get it over the hump. Always ''closing'' the gap, never quite being able to close that gap. Very frustrating

    This one-on-one bs that CJ reverts to drives me nuts.

    I say this every time, but I hate it every time. The way we do the final possession where everyone stands around and watches CJ dribble around then throw something up. It almost never works!

    It's so annoying particularly because he was winning people back over during the last few weeks, and then he starts doing again in the most egregious way now

    Cj McCollum says ''It's CJ time''

    the other guys weren't moving off the ball either though. Its like everyone agrees to stand around while CJ jacks up a shot

    You get the game close going into the 4th and then immediately give up a 7-0 run. Come on, guys.

    Wow the Pelicans came out looking like garbage. A super close game is suddenly a double digit lead with 9 straight from the Grizzlies to open the 4th quarter.

    Sure but, as has been said a million times by a million players over the years, it's hard to motivate yourself to move when you know you're not going to get passed the ball.

    That's not to knock CJ as a passer, he's very willing and capable most of the time. But when he gets into his little dribble sequences you just know that shot's going up, why bother running about?
