Celtics (15-14) at Pelicans (12-17) Game #30 2/21/21

That looked like a good block by Theis.

And, yeah, I think Zion is incredibly overrated and not at the level of Brown or Tatum.

He's a 20 year-old averaging 25/7/3 while shooting over 60% from the field. Brown and Tatum are years older than him and only just eclipsing that statistically. Slow your roll

Eh, I take both of them over Zion every day of the week, as they're both two-way players, much more versatile, and don't have the long-term health and longevity concerns that Zion does.

It's definitely fair - I probably do too. But I doubt Zion is done improving

Oh, for sure. He's going to be a very good player, but I think he'll top out at Blake Griffin level.

I'm mostly concerned with his long-term longevity at his size and style of play. No way his legs last that long doing that much activity and jumping with that weight, especially already having some knee issues.

[Chief]

That's not a foul

[Ogaju]

Bring in the bench......make it interesting again.

Yeah I do think the biggest question for Zion is the health and if that'll hinder him long term (maybe not now, but can he keep playing at a high level past say, 30 years old).

Between the three though, Zion definitely has the highest ceiling.

The whistles are killing this game....

[jpotter33]

These are some crap calls against us.

[footey]

Refs stink

[liam]

All the whistles are going one way!

[Phantom255x]

They may not light up the scoreboard, but Nesmith and Timelord have a combined 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists off the bench. If those two can continue to produce and hustle as they are, we may be okay.

Refs stink

Even Doris is confused by these refs!

He's got Blake Griffin written all over him. At some point in his career, a team is going to end up with a huge contract on him that they will regret.

Tp

[Ogaju]

Cs need to get the bench in..

[SHAQATTACK]

The whistles are killing this game....

what happens ....when a run a way starts to happen in our favor ...

its the refs job to reel in the game tighten it up.....after all its TV ratings that REALLY count..

Refs icing the Celts to steer the game towards a tighter contest  ....brownie points from NBA

only in NASCAR to officals influence the sport more as it unfolds .

I think he has lost weight (would still be like 260lbs, lol) but he needs to figure out how to play without being at 100% all the time. Meaning he can't play with all the force that he has all the time. He's always trying to muscle everything.

Very Larry Johnson-esque
