    Him falling was a result of the block. He is skilled, sure. His biggest problem the entire time he's been in the league has been his health, or lack there of. The best ability is often availability...

    I'm sure it's just me being a hater, but I can't watch that Zion injury video without thinking that the ball wouldn't have been available to be blocked if he didn't try to cock it back for a spectacular one-handed tomahawk jam. Had he just gone straight up with two hands, he'd likely still be uninjured (for now).

    Why would any team help the Lakers?

    People don’t understand that this is a business. Other teams don’t HATE other teams. They don’t look at it as if they are “helping” the Lakers.

    If he keeps trying to be like Kobe instead of like Barkely, these type of injuries will keep happening.

    Thats what you got from the pic?
    The place opens up this weekend. I assume they are going to paint the shorts black when they finish.

    Yeah it's obvious. Not a good move by Zion. He put himself where he could get seriously injured without even a foul by the defender.

    Dennis Smith Jr. had a nice game for Charlotte in their win over Atlanta.

    I really liked Jeremy Sochan in the 2022 draft. He's a starter for the Spurs and had a nice game against Minnesota. Although the whole Spur roster probably did in that game.
    He was defending KAT in the portions of the game that I watched.
    Wish we could see more Jabari Walker. He might be just as good overall (with his 3-point shooting) as Sochan.

    Have not voted yet. Waiting for November. Hope to have enough data to get it right by that time.

    I agree, the contrast is a little jarring.

    That was me.

    I like to set my expectations low. That way I’m almost always pleasantly surprised.

    4-0! Whoop! Whoop!
