Indeed.

A lot has been made of Zion Williamson’s NBA debut.

Our data analysts crunched the numbers - their model indicates that with 38 games remaining, Zion will need to average 79 points per game in order to catch Aron Baynes on the all time scoring list. Something to monitor. pic.twitter.com/PFKb1iYcLU

Rockets currently up by 17 points in the third.

Waiting for another choke, tbh.

The hype is unreal, going to laugh if he doesn't live up to it.

Only way it doesn’t would be injuries.

Nothing to laugh at

John Collins really is my MVP today

Has Lonzo turned a corner?

He's on a natural progression. It's been slowed because of injury. Was our second best player last season before he got injured.

I really hope he stays healthy from now on. Special player.

Is that Zion's natural weight or is he unfit at the moment?

He looks like he has a long way to go.

Agreed. You and I have been on the hype train since day 1

He starts becoming more consistent with his shot (which looks so much better this year) and he's going to be special. His defense is amazing.

People like Trae Young, Doncic have warped expectations for young players. It's amazing how great they've been so quickly, but we shouldn't forget that Lonzo is only 22.

Progressions like the one Giannis had are common. Especially if you've had many injuries. It looks like that's the progression Lonzo is having, and I'm here for it.

The knee jerk reaction to Zion's performance today (which is in limited minutes) is going to be insane

I think Trae Young is so incredibly overhyped. I need to wait a few years to see if his play translates into anything.

He hugging the ball more than any player I've ever seen and gets so many stats in meaningless garbage time minutes. And defense is atrocious.

He's a good offensive player, yeah. But I don't see him ever becoming as good as what Doncic is now. And find their comparisons to be unjust to both of them.

No one likes to fuck with the media more than Pop tbh.

He knew the media wanted a big Zion night and people wanted to see him dunk over everything.

Of course he takes that away as the first option. Just look at how Zion was double teamed on his first touch in the game (means it's obviously coached from SAS). They wanted to take him out.

He did have a couple bad unforced turnovers and completely lost his man on a possession.

Not his best showing, but he's a teenager coming off an injury in his first NBA game. I can't wait to see his production for the rest of the season.

But people are gonna clown because of this game unless he comes back in and does something crazy

Josh Hart is so easy to bait into fouls. Dude never learns

Ok Zion's going now.

This is dumb

Can he do it in the playoffs though?

He's gotta get there first.

You're really gonna call a timeout. Don't set up a play. Then let Spurs dribble out the entire clock. Then instead of letting Lonzo get a quick bucket or play in transition you can a timeout and get another shit play?

Idiot. Another bad coach given a bunch of great talent.
