To-infinitive

Maybe if Zion play the start of the season, it would be easy to be like, Oh, for sure, he's Rookie of the Year because he's likely to be an All Star the way he's playing.

Modal verbs - A2

The Pelicans could probably be at the six position, the seven position, you know, like that's what our brain goes to.

The superlative

Don Maria has been playing at a high level of the entire season.

So if I'm gonna give anyone the benefit of the doubt, I'm gonna give it to job just because I like the totality of the season.

But like what we're experiencing with Zion, it's like better late than never.

He's giving you what, 24 points per game in 29 minutes.

He's out here moving the needle for the league like we've been patient to see.

So I was like, we get in our feelings, we get excited.

I think if he played more of the season, not just 1/3.

It would be easier to make that claim if you played half.

Maybe if he played 60 games, but 37 in total.

It's hard for me to diminish what someone has done who's really been there the whole season.

Even though if he did play the whole season, we know what the outcome would likely be.

I just wondering if we were falling into the trap because, like I mentioned, I was six days without Internet, anything like that and how did you lose?

But it was just funny, because the first thing I came back to were highlights of LeBron James against I am like exactly what the league was hoping for in that 11 2nd stretch where Zion goes down bullies on the block and throws one down and LeBron hits like a 50 foot three as the retaliation, By the way, My goodness, he's doing that like I don't you know, I'm an analyst and I'm trying to understand it.

Passes crossed half court like Is this like a good shot?

It's a good you don't mean like it just blows my mind.

Right now we have John Moran going up against the Lakers in round one.

If it all ends the way it does with Memphis, everybody's wondering.

Can Zion get there with the pelicans there?

Now, four back from the Sacramento, Portland and San Antonio are all in front of New Orleans.

That's also for personal reasons, Duncan Coach again.

So you can have this guy as a teammate for the next 5 to 7 years.

I'd say Trey Young, but we're worried about the defense.

Like Zion, the game comes so easy to him.

And if I'm a coach, I would want like I know this is teammate question, But if I'm a coach, I want a guy like Zion because you don't ever have to run place for him to be successful like everyone talks about.

Always he durable enough and stuff like that, the way like everyone's looking at the end of the play, not the whole play.

I mean, even though Luca don t like they're number one in offensive rating, he's literally bringing the offense back in Dallas.

That guy is a different love, the way you just I mean, I know it's probably premature to say this just because he's had a remarkable stretch.

But watching him in person in Boston, he looks like the guy that could be the guy that wins you a championship.

If he plays at that level, well, like what he's able to do.

Like I saw him finish at the rim against Dwight Howard, and then you can think about like LeBron and then eventually you know a D in the mix and, like, this is Jason Tatum, you know, finishing up against them not like Zion, you know that That just changed the scope.

And then he pulls it out to three and hits you with a step back and just hits tough shots.

The things that he was struggling with the years before, like years before.

And he's just looking like a star and that type of star that will win and can't score in a lot of different scenarios.

I mean, look, it could do the same thing, but I'm just Jayson Tatum is just different.
