βYou held them to 104 tonight and they average 114. What was the key tonight?β
Probably the fact that they didnβt have former MVPs James Harden & Russell Westbrook on the floor..

Says the guy who can't put down a BIg Mac and nods off on the bench. Hope this is a turning point.
Take note…Our Pels are climbing up…βοΈππ¬π§
Zion wants to be in the goat conversation for this next generation. I feel like Wemby inspired him to take things seriously cuz the NBA will find a shiny new toy just like that
Hey, heβs going LEFT.
I am starting to think Zion a diabetic he weight is too up and down
Lacazazzcixaal

He like a Charles Barkley but plays big like Shawn kemp
This is the Zion we want to see. He has been surprisingly good this season.
He was on fire π₯π₯π₯π₯
Except when he facing the lakers cuz he do what he is told.
Get some Pizza man you deserve it plus extra fries.
Clippers don't wanna win, they have no real drive.
βI Wanna Win !!!! Simple As Thatβ !!!! Go Pels!!
KD, ZION, ANT!!!!
Someone tell me, how Herb listed 6'7, Zion listed 6'6 and when they come face to face Zion is an inch taller. We know big Z ainβt 6'6, 6'8 in shoes πͺπΎ
Zion's social awkwardness is endearing.
This is how you ball when you're not focusing on Pornstars
