We got lucky tonight....This would have been tight had they not lost Zion. He's like Embiid in that aspect. Injuries will be the only thing that holds back greatness. I'm incredibly impressed with him though. I'd never really watched him until the other night. What a talent!

Good to see the simple pass being made and execution at the end of the game.

Good win. Good close out after the Pelicans made it tight. Once Maxey is fully back, this Harden-Maxey-Melton-Harris-Embiid lineup is gonna be really tough for teams to defend.

Not impressed though we needed a Zion injury in 4th quarter and Ingram not playing to win at home.
I see another 2nd round exit unfortunately...

Going to be tough for them to defend teams as well.

Maxey has done nothing to deserve being in the SL though, 12 PTS on 40% TS ain't gonna cut it.

Zion is such a boss. No three point necessary. Dude just bullies his way inside. That other guy could never lol

Eh, they're undersized, but I don't really think they would. Melton's pretty damn versatile and Harden has the strength to size up.

Plus zone.

Plus Embiid simply being an elite floor raiser on that end of the floor.

Tuned into the second half to see Zion, kinda bummed he got hurt. Good win for the boys, though. One thing for sure, Melton must be on the floor down the stretch, that kid is a monster. I like the Harden-Maxey-Melton-Embiid grouping with either Harris or Niang, hopefully Glenn will see fit to close with them as often as possible.

Zion has the potential to be anything. How can man that big move like that. It’s incredible

Good win. January is historically a good month for us. Let's go on another streak now.

Zion is so unnatural, he will always have injury issues. I don't think he'll be able to be consistently good and dominating with this style of play. But he is what he is.

The officiating was again bad in the first 3 quarters. They were calling charges on us for the same things they called blocking fouls on them.

Bum Adebayo · Post #119 » by **Bum Adebayo** » Tue Jan 3, 2023 12:28 pm

Yeah just like Embiid was done and was the next Oden right...

I think Zion could end up being better than Giannis.

Giannis stupid long arms allow him to jump and touch the rim from afar, Zion has this soft touch around the rim with jumpers which also would allow him to be good/average after his athletic peak.

His frame could betray him any moment tho
