Look, obviously I'm not 100% satisfied with the season, but all the bandwagoners who post BS can suck it. We saw what this team could be at 100%. We saw this team fall off the face of Kyrie's flat Earth due to injuries. But now we've seen Playoff Brandon and Trigga flip the script. If 2 weeks ago you said we'd finish above .500 and be in play-in/6 seed conversation, I'd of sold my left testie, but guess what? I still have both of them bad boys. This team is still special, 9-2 last 3 weeks.

FLOCK AROUND AND FIND OUT.

Great run to end the season. Kudos to the players that out it together. Ingram is the franchise leader. Trey has all star potential.
Dump Fat Boy and move on.

Squad is all clicking right now. Glad we didn’t make a rash trade at the deadline. Also props to Griff for grabbing Josh. He’s been light years better than DG.

last year, no zion, play-in team
this year, with zion, 50 win team
this year, no zion, play-in team

not sure what anyone was expecting to be different this time. CJ/ingram/herb/Trey/ JV is a .500 level play in team. It’s the same team as last year with the same results

We would have won 50 games had Ingram stayed relatively healthy and played 50+ games.

pure speculation without on court evidence
what the on court evidence does show is that without Zion they are a 500 team. With him they can be a top seed

Lol. Evidence points to Ingram playing the lowest amount of games in his career this season.

Evidence points to Williamson never leading the team to anything other than injuries. Your evidence is literally a sample size of 29 games.

Folks on this board were trashing him late Jan and all of February.

I wasn't high on him at first. He came in and got t'd up like game one. He messed with the flow initially, but yeah, he's worked out well as of late.

. This is kind of dramatic. We're a game out of the 5 seed.

It's BIs team. Zion needs to get moved.

That's just not true BI missed 2 fricking months if he just misses 1 month we are a 50 win team. Then Herb was in and out the lineup early in the season and he is now playing like the Herb from the playoffs.

he played more games last year and they had a worse record. Yes they got CJ late but still. I’m not cutting down ingram I’m just pointing out the obvious. It’s hard to win big in the NBA you have to have a stud that nobody can handle. That guy is zion

without him the pels are a perfectly good 500 team. If they didn’t have zion they’d need to find another stud if they want to win

I really don’t get this trade Zion talk. It’s so short sighted and stupid. The team is 14-15 since BI returned from injury. They are 9-4 in their last 13. In that stretch they have played 3 full strength teams. The Lakers and Kings embarrassed them at home and they lost to one of the worst teams in the league in the Rockets. I’m not making long term decisions based off of beating the corpse of Charlotte and Portland.

This team’s ultimate ceiling is with a healthy Zion and a healthy Ingram.

Re Zion
quote:

In December, he averaged 29.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game while shooting 61.3 percent from the field.
read that again.
zion is the the difference maker on this team.
they can win 40 without him
they cannot win more than that without him
