@@elliottwilson2352 yeah THIS. My guess was he saw his performance in the beginning and didn't want to risk it but with that being said he could have woken up in the 4th and brought team back. It was so close too.
You want to wait for inflammation to slow down. That 45 minutes you’re putting him in there machine last night, is 45 lost in his recovery if he has to get another mri cause they didn’t get a clear result the first time. He can’t come back BEFORE their game. They’re fine.
Someone who makes his living “running his mouth” should know the hypocrisy of telling anyone to “shut up” and not do it. But if being a fool makes him money, I guess he gone be an absolute FOOL.😂
Here are some interesting Lakers facts below: 1. Did you know the Lakers free throw differential over the last two seasons is well over +1100 more free throws than their opponents? They lead the league in that category. The second place team doesn’t even crack +350. 2. Did you know that if you combined the free throw differential of the teams in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place the Lakers would still have a comfortable lead over that team? 3. Did you know that the Lakers have shot more free throws than their opponent’s in 22 out of the last 23 games? The one game they shot less was by 4 free throws. 4. Did you know that during a recent game where the Lakers played the Timberwolves they shot 31 free throws to Minnesota’s 11? This was a game Lebron missed and Anthony Davis sat for 3 and a half quarters due to injury.
Zions still young he still gotta work on his body and get into the perfect shape to really have a long prosperous career. They need to build around him better tho this pels team ain’t going nowhere with ingram and cj not showing up
Amazing job from Zion tonight dropped 40 on Lebron prob would’ve won the game if he didn’t get injured and did it on both ends holding Lebron 6/20 from the field. Lebron was like what 1/8 in the 4th? Not his best game but the lakers still pulled it out due to AD getting that clutch rebound that actually was prob an offensive foul but oh well. CJ Mcollum is a fraud btw and idk what happened to Ingram
I knew something’s off it always feels awkward when bi cj and Zion play on the floor at first I thought it was spacing but it’s more like people forgetting they role
The problem is Zion plays basketball to get in shape, he doesn’t get in shape to play basketball. Injuries will always follow until he gets serious about his craft!
Sounds crazy I know, but the off the court positive life style brings you positive outcomes, or constant set backs and failures. Our culture has a blind spot in that area, and get angry when you point it out.
Stop giving this guy every excuse for never playing. It doesn’t matter how great you are on the fooor if you’re NEVER there when your team needs you. This guy has been in the league half a decade and played half the games. It’s pathetic.
Look at Zion's legs! His femur goes inward from his hips, his weight is more on the inside of his feet than the outside. He is basically built to get knee and ankle injuries
This makes zero sense big dawg. Your body, regardless of shape or size, is made to support itself in a perfectly balanced way. Maybe his posture is just bad.
We the people understand the nba is somewhat or entirely scripted! Pelicans blew it on purpose! You think it’s smart to leave lebron and the lakers out the mix? NBA They want there bag! They know they know
LeBron is showing his age. He was average at best in this game. They won dispute having him. Pelicans would have won if anybody else shows.up for game.
So Zion is hurt again and he has 0 career playoff wins but ESPN is giving him credit? Lebron gets cooked for 40 points and ESPN gives him credit? These shows are a joke hosted by cheerleaders...get these guys some skirts
@@SuperRobertoClemente y’all too busy making jokes to realize when someone is being serious. The nba is an organization. We’ve seen players bet on their own games…everything is laid out already. But okay come back in a few weeks bro.

Just imagine if Ingram and McCollum actually brought it? This was the Pelicans' game to win.
Yeah I don’t know why Green didn’t put Ingram back in
Yeah Pels blew it.. if they don't make it to the playoffs, there will be some changes probably

Willie could have put BI back in though after Zion left and given him another shot instead of keeping him on the bench.

Zion killed it and I'm proud of that young lion
Why are we crediting Lebron for guarding Zion and giving up 40?
Because Zion had no help!!! Duh😂
Because he’s 39yrs old in his 21st season and he was the one that decided to take the challenge to at least TRY to slow him down… need another reason?
@@justoo4425 🤡🤡🤡
Same reason yall give IGUDOLA CREDIT FOR HOLDING BRON to 40 points in the 2015 finals and Andre won mvp for that so let’s be honest here BRO
Exactly!
Pelicans need to trade ingram for a PG like trae young thats what zion needs
I would think trade Mcollum for Trae Young
@@faywhite7886lmao bro why would hawks do that
Hawks would never accept that trade
@@JeebyTube ahh if they believe more in Murry and it puts the ball in his hands.
Trae young one of the best guards itl he puts up 27 and 11 gonna have to give up a lot more than just ingram
I’m so proud of Zion ‼️‼️‼️💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
CJ always falls short in big games!!!! Get him out of NO…BI is gone too
yeah bout time to move on from Ingram
Lol more like Zion and cj and Ingram never really compatible playing together as a trio , all I see is isos
Pelicans worth billions he should’ve got tht mri last night
It's not uncommon for teams to wait until the next day for MRIs. The team's worth is not an issue.

Zion literally carried the Pelicans ✊
Pels score double the points in the paint and get half the free throw attempts the Lakers did.
The refs are shameless.
How in the world do paint points equate to free throws ? I thought fouls while in the act of shooting or when over the limit got you free throws?
Actually, Lakers had 68 paint pts to Pels 42

Pelicans need to find a way to go get Derrick white from Celtics
Zion is going to be one of those players we look back on and wonder
That was so hard to see. It's almost like "backwards karma", Zion is doing absolutely the right things, and then he gets hurt.
Zion out here playing limbo with his hamstrings 😂
I’d be annoyed at constantly getting called a “Manchild” lol
cj was a liability on both sides of the floor. Couldn't get past anyone and was getting cooked on defense all night.

Good morning Stephen A Smith
The Kings are beating NO now that Zion won’t play

Yes!!

Why would they?
They don’t want to face Denver

All that gumbo caught up with zion
