The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

[Maximus Meridius]

Ja just as injury prone as Zion but gets half the flack, I wonder why?

263 games played to 190

Ja also played in 19 playoff to zero.

Ja’s injuries are a result oh his style of play
Zion injury history is due to poor conditioning and lack of consistency to keep the weight off.

To play devil's advocate..

Your comment seems to imply that Zion's injuries are self inflicted because of his weight and lack of conditioning as you say...

Well your comment also says that Ja's injuries are a result of his play style. Well if that's the case wouldn't Ja's injuries be self inflicted as well? If it's evident that his play style is causing these injuries and continues to play like that then he's just as responsible for his injuries as Zion is for his.

Did I cook?

What

His second season when he was (relatively) healthy and averaged 27 a game on 61% from the field. He was getting to the rim more frequently than any other modern player by far.

No one else was doing that, not even Giannis. Everyone knew he was trying to bully his way to the rim but no one could stop it. Freak of nature athlete. I just wish his body could hold up because he's a 1 of 1 player. But unfortunately he's aging like a running back and that style might be part of the reason why. But it was pretty incredible to watch.

I got you. Vince Carter was more exciting to me. Amare was more exciting. Not even gonna mention Bron, Kobe, KG, AI, Steph.

Ja has an extra year on Zion in the league so Ja playing more games is expected. Ja has missed 10 or more games every year due to injury since being drafted.

I love watching them both but they're both equally injury prone to me.

Nah no cooking was detected but carry on

 

[king j]

I still believe in Zion

 

[akajae]

You gotta put Zion up for adoption at this point addict4sneakers

addict4sneakers start of every season

 

[antidope]

Totally different vibe with Devin back. Keldon Johnson is a minus 15 and I am not surprised in the least.

 

[HIM]

Come on, what are we doing. Zion has only played 30+ games twice in his career.

[antidope]

That's a hater foul by Colin Sexton

 

[HIM]

And just like that, the No Excuses power rankings will look much different in week 5

 

[pmatic]

Steph Castle is good. Quite good.

Missing 10 or more a year vs what Zion has done is not same

Ja has played in 57 or more games every except last year. Zion has done that once. Twice Zion played less than 30.

They were in the same draft

"He'll just be Porzingis"

 

[pmatic]

Filipowski trying to do way too much.

 

[rolaholic]

Damn KD

 

[antidope]

Devin back! Good game all around for most.

 

[pmatic]

Game is on Tubi for those interested.

 

[T0INE]

PHA was doing PHA tings and the Suns were balling.
