    Zion practices, will he return this season? I'm going to go with no.
    Hell no.
    Surprised he’s gonna play. Is the game going to be nationally televised?
    ESPN.   Apparently he’s been ready since January 1st. They’ve been taking their time with him. Might as well. Kid is 19

    after feasting on crap teams for the last few weeks, the Jazz beat a pretty decent Pacers team by 30 last night.
    I think the Jazz are legit for having a good chance to reach the Western Conference finals.

    the stars would have to really align.

    I am SHOCKED at this.  I guess they are far enough in the tank that they can have a good lottery pick and bring him back?

    I watched him do under the leg windmill dunks in practice so he sure as hell looks ready.

    Bring n Zion.

    Still think he only lasts 5 years in the league.

    They’re only 3 games back from the 8th spot in the Playoffs.  Won 11 of 15.

    Or you can look it as they are 7 games from the gutter.  You have a rosier outlook than I do, lol!

    Ja Morant's stranglehold on ROY took quite a hit last night with his 2 point performance in Boston and Zion's spectacular debut.

    Hold it.  Did any of you watch the game?  I watched the first 3 quarters and turned it off because he was playing so bad.  When I shut it off he had like 4 pts and 5 turnovers in 10 or so minutes in the third and looked like shit.  

    Wow, I can't believe he turned it on and remembered how to handle a ball?  He looked that bad.

    Maybe he had jitters?

    He said he was so excited that he didnt sleep the night before lol.   Sucks they had him on a minutes restriction but he’s still not in preseason shape.   The knee has been perfectly fine for a month they said so i wish they just let him run. 

    Im a fan of this kid.  What he did in preseason against NBA starters was incredible.  24ppg on 70% shooting.  Destroyed Rudy Gobert.  He’ll get it.  I went through the Anthony Davis years and he’s much further along than Davis was as a rookie.

    Thanks, I missed all that so it makes sense.

    Will they let him play and make a playoff run or are they going to limit him still so he can win ROY net year and get a good DP?

    I say limit him.  There is no rush to bring him in.

    Watching what I did Last night whenever he touched the ball and went baseline the crowd did go nuts so he is electric to the fans and it is robbing them of seeing him by limiting but would be a great benefit in years to come.

    I think ROY ship has sailed. He missed too many games IMO.  Morant deserves it

    You’re right but man it was too damn exciting to take him out in the middle of that lol.
