    ZION HIGHLIGHTS

    Zion is currently 19 years and 223 days old.

    There are plenty of other rookies who have had 20+ scoring streaks way longer than 6 games, but none of them where this young. Let's look at some of the other long 20pt streaks in rookie history.

    The longest streak of 20pt games in rookie history belongs to Wilt; he had 56 consecutive 20pt games his rookie year. He was 23 years old and 172 days when that streak ended.

    Since the start of the 3pt era (1979-80), the longest rookie streak of 20pt games belongs to Michael Jordan, who had 23 straight in his rookie year. He was 21 years and 364 days old when that streak ended.

    Since 2000, the longest rookie streak belongs to Blake Griffin. He had 14 consecutive 20pt games his rookie year, a streak that ended when he was 21 and 304 days.

    Zion can't break Wilt's record; he just can't play enough games, even if he scored over 20 in every single game left. He could break Jordan's streak, but it would require him to pretty much go 20+ for nearly every game of the year. Surprisingly, this is not impossible in my mind, given how soft our schedule becomes towards the end.

    Blake's streak though? That's really achievable, I think.
    Basketball.

    We are not a good defensive team.
    This is what concerns me about the teams future under Gentry. His teams are not good defensively.And his adjustments are to slow Why is Ball still guarding Gallinari after being burned repeatedly in the first half? The Thunder players were just getting to the basket at will. Gentry at best is a decent assistant coach on the offense.Hate to be so negative,the Pels have a good future I'm just not sure they can reach their full potential under Gentry.

    The fact we kept Gentry was a mind numbing decision.

    I understand that BI didn’t play because he was hurt, but why have him play in the meaningless AS game when he can aggravate his injury by playing? I understand him playing injured for us in a meaningful game, but not him playing in an exhibition game.

    If you Jimmer it, they will come.

    It will work itself out in time.

    Honestly I don’t even know why we got scheduled to play last night. The Arena’s tickenscan company even closed shop for the break. We eventually got in in beginning of 1st qtr.

    Time to respect him and what he did for us.

    That’s true. After experiencing the AD sage (which I hope he never gets a “proper” send off) we should be writing poems and soliloquy’s about CP3.

    I agree but also I think (and hope) that Gentry isn't the coach long term. For this year, sure, and maybe even next if we make the playoffs or something, but I can't imagine he's still the head coach by the time Zions rookie extension comes up.

    I was all for bringing back CP3 here before deadline.

    But sure, I watch every single game myself and I also see many of the same mistakes popping up again and again. But it's not only Jrue that's making them. The point isn't that Jrue is beyond criticism; of course he's not. The point is that he's not the only player who's subject to it. Everyone should get it.
    I share in the frustration, because at this point in his career, Jrue should be more consistent then he’s been. It’s maddening to see what he’s capable of in some games, where he’s almost sublime in crunch time, only to follow it up with games like last night where he misses huge free throws and makes unforced turnovers. I’m not saying he always needs to have the superhero games, but he shouldn’t have as many dud fourth quarter performances like last night. And if we’re being honest, the main reason that we’re on the outside of the playoff race is the high number of bad games that he had in the beginning of the year.

    This is what I mean. It's perfectly fine to say that Jrue has dud fourth quarters way too often this year. No doubt, it's true. But is his poor play THE single main reason we're outside the playoffs?

    Not Gentry taking 2 months to sort the rotation?
    Not Favors missing half the season?
    Not Lonzo playing like garbage on both ends until mid December?

    I'd argue that any of those things easily have just as much influence on our current position as Jrues play, and in some cases like the Favors issue, possibly more.

    It's weird to single Jrue out and sideline all of these issues.

    Our season has been suboptimal for a ton of reasons. It's weird to pick one single reason and laser focus on it to the exception of all else.

    Yoooooo what do you guys think about this

    I've been harping on that the guards/wings need to eventually get perfect timing on those Zion roll-off alley oops. He's caught a bunch that were a beat late.

    But listen to 1:30. Is that someone on the bench making a noise to alert the guard to throw the oop?

    Even if not, then it would be a good idea to implement if someone can get ahold of the coaching staff lol

    Frustrating how the refs let Adams camp out in the lane the ENTIRE night.

    Rudy Robert does the same thing.
    Gentry needs to call that out.

    It is the scale of how many points Aron Baynes has scored in his career. 1 Baynes = 2688 points (as of today).

    Lebron, for example, has scored a career 12.58 Baynes, at 33,817 points.

    Reminds me of when we played the Bucks and in the post-game interview, Gentry said that Brook Lopez spends so much time in the paint that ''he has a condo in there. A nice condo!''

    But why compare against Baynes?
