The reality is the Spurs played Man to Man defense for the entire game, and Zion looked like an out of shape rookie

Pop wanted to see how Zion played versus a zone defense.
He got hot for the 4 minutes the Spurs played zone, but it was mostly guys like Patty Mils defending him in the zone.

Pop had some crazy notion to give the rookie a look at zone with the smallest defenders guarding the 3.
It was a stupid look, and it almost cost the SPurs....gave away free points from the 3 point line.

The Spurs immediately went back to man defense and won the rest of the way.
When we look back on history, no one will care about that little detail.

But, it is a detail that other coaches will test this season

The Pels had a decent shot of making the playoffs as an 8th seed even w/o Zion. With him back now, and as his minutes increase their chances get much better. If he stays healthy these last few months they'll get in.

He looks like Draymond his rookie year. Just big and bulky. He needs to slim down to reduce the wear and tear on his body. Here's what Draymond looked like coming out of college versus when he slimmed in the NBA.

He has a lot more natural muscle mass than Green has. With green he was obviously chubby and needed to change some bad habits. With Zion, how does he drop weight? Chop off a body part? The dude's built like a defensive end.
