Shaq said before this game that Zion should take Vegas tonight and make a statement. But after the lost, Kenny asked on Shaq on who were the other players that Shaq tried to do that to, but couldn't. Shaq said David Robinson and Hakeem because they worked much harder and Shaq thought that they were on the same level. That's basically Zion is. Didn't do much work, and couldn't get himself in shape. Great analysis by the crew.

[@kaseysagrado3647]

Right. When the game is on the line, zion just never demanded the ball. He gotta be best player in that team. Additionally, he did not again tally a double digit in rebound (how many double2 does he have this season? 2 games I guess?) he's just out of shape haha

That's what makes Hali so dangerous. You say Cam and Vando will lock him up and sure, they very well may. But what about his teammates? Hali is a passer and if he plays at the pace the Pacers have been playing throughout the start of the season so far, he's so difficult to contain when he's shooting but we all know the ball moves faster than the player.

I like such changes like the "In season tournament" within a regular season to motivate the players to stay focussed and not just play to get into play off standing. Good move NBA 👍. I can also see veteran players like LeBron and young players both being motivated to compete which makes the in season tournament exciting and worth playing for something. After 20 seasons a player like Lebron is done just playing to be in playoffs...

@@samuelsgeorge271 He's not wrong really though. It was a cakewalk to get to the Quarter-Finals thanks to his bracket (Suns, Jazz, Grizzlies and Trailblazers) and the game vs the Suns in the QF, Suns were without Beal, had 22 turnovers and had Booker shoot 6-16 and Lebron still needed the ref to cater to him in the final seconds to barely scrape a 3 point win in which they attempted over 20 more shots. I mean, that's not really showing me anything else other than the point Kaye is making.

[@jacquesl9972]

@@jacobwilkie241 Set up? The in-season tournament groups was designed so that the top teams from the conference would get the chance to play in the Quarter finals. The Nuggets didn't make it because they lost Murray. Beal being out isn't an excuse. The Suns big 3 have yet to play a game together. The Suns were 9-2 with just KD and Booker. The Lakers locked up Booker and generated the turnovers. "Ref cater to him in the final seconds". If you rewatch it, Reaves has possession. And if we're being serious about "missed calls" then the Lakers should've had 4 more FT's before that even occurred according to the L2M report. Don't be ignorant

[@JSmith-kh4vo]

This is the result of players getting money too early. Jordan talked about this and if these young players continue to get these huge guaranteed contracts before they earn them the quality of the NBA will drop drastically. They already have to create gimmick tournaments for them to even want to compete in the regular season. Yet they show up and still don't give effort. They have been begging this guy to take his health and conditioning seriously for years. You'd think that someone in his position would appreciate everything and go hard af to show that he deserves everything he's gotten. A 39 year old man just looked like the youngest player on the court. They should all be ashamed.

[@radicalmatamune]

This is the logical truth that a lot of people don't want to hear for some reason. This would particulary infuriate players to hear that, obviously.
