The Official NBA Season Thread: NBA Cup Night

Zion needs his to find his Phx Barkley self before he can make it in MSG. 13 points carrying all that mass on in a 40 point spanking would be front page news if his jersey said NY instead of NO.

He really does not look motivated to be in better shape which is unfortunate. Above all else, I commend Julius on his fitness and ironman-like availability.

Which trade was worse, the Pels AD or Clippers PG?

I'm leaning Clippers. Generational fumble job.
 
Beyond the pathetic effort last night, the Pelican players do not compliment each other. Zion and Ingram get in each other's ways, too many one way players and not enough three point shooting.
I’ve wanted Zion to right the ship but what type of players fit around someone who doesn’t rebound, doesn’t play D, can’t shoot and only makes an effort when he has the ball.

The thing with him getting in shape as well is that his greatest asset currently is his girth (pause). If he really slims down m, not sure what exactly he’ll be good at.

If herb can’t play defense he really handicaps their offense.

It’s extremely difficult to play Jonas, Herb & Zion in a starting lineup. Lebron was playing 10 feet off Zion and AD was happy to let Jonas shoot threes. No idea what New Orleans is supposed to do with that many non-shooters.

The other option is to go the other way with Murphy and Hawkins but they are too young/light right now.

Easier said than done getting high motor, versatile players, but considering the draft picks and flexibility they had 3-4 years ago it wasn't unrealistic.

They do get credit for hitting on Murphy, Jones and Alvarado. Daniels is TBD and Hawkins is living up to his rep as a shooter.
 

Article from Joel Lorenzi who is a new OKC Thunder beat writer. This is important because he hasnt yet been threatened by Presti's goons and forced to become an insufferable sunshine pumper.
 
Teams still don't know when Joe goes to screen for SGA, he's just going to fake it and get a three pointer.

WCF is well within reach if you’re not in Denver’s bracket.

SGA will be playing 40 minutes in the playoffs.

Anybody who doesn’t complement him should be on the trading block.

We’ll see how Presti plays it.
