The Barkley comparisons are really good on terms of his relentlessness for rebounds and aggressiveness getting high percentage shots.

Sir Charles had much better footwork. Also Zion not even close to the mid range Chuck had.

Zion’s athleticism, probably five levels higher than Chuck but in all fairness he was no scrub in this department fwiw


I’ve never heard anyone say Zion is relentless on the glass. He’s good for some offensive rebounds but he doesn’t do defensive glass work


Good point.

Tonight he was relentless with those 9 boards lol

especially when it’s another opportunity to get a second chance point at the rim. Layup factory for this guy

I don’t know who’s more predictable Zion or Giannis LOL

AD currently only has 6 rebounds, but 0 offensive rebounds. Didn't AD have back to back offensive rebounds when the pelicans went small? Did I have a stroke and imagine that or is there something strange with the statkeeping for this game?

Yeah when I first heard the Barkley comparison I laughed out loud.

I can kind of see it a bit more now but he's still no Barkley IMO

I believe they called fouls on that before he got a rebound

I think they called fouls on both of those, so no rebound would be recorded, I guess.

The score keeper recorded the fouls and didn’t give him rebounds on those plays and I know because I’m 2 boards short of my parlay

Props to the supporting cast for having this in them. Was not expecting this after so many eggs laid on 2nd nights of B2Bs.

The Lakers need this a lot more often from AR and Rui if they're going to at least get back to where they were last season.

Maybe sitting D'Lo on night 1 is an example of the Lakers doing what I wanted all along, which was to strategically go for 1-1 on B2Bs instead of going for 2-0. It's been absolutely brutal to watch the Lakers go all out on night 1, lose anyway, and go into night 2 severely handicapped to the point where it's an automatic L.

Nance hit him in the hip on one of their last plays when he was chasing Ingram. Forearm to the hip on a pick. Probably spasms again.
