I freaking love Zaza Pachulia, and what he brings to this team. He comes off the bench and plays with heart and with energy. Take a second to post your favorite Zaza moment.

[Popeye]

How can you not love Zaza? One and only!

[APE]

He's been soft all year

If we're up at home during the playoffs and Zaza's at the stripe, we should start a MVP chant. :biggrin:

If we're up at home during the playoffs and Zaza's at the stripe, we should start a MVP chant. :biggrin:

It may catch him off-guard, fluster him, confuse him, force him to brick both free throws, get so angry at himself that he gets ejected for yelling at himself, falls on the court, gets carried off, destroys the locker room, shuts down his restaurant, shaves his head, and goes back to Europe.

:shock11:

Let's just continue to love him without chants.

On a side note, over the last 10 games, Zaza's stats are improved, but because of his limited PT, they are still not much to talk about it. It is obvious though, that his play has improved over the last few weeks.

13.5 Minutes

3.0 Points

3.8 Rebounds

0.8 Assists

0.4 Turnovers

0.4 Steals

0.5 Blocks

75% Field Goals

As many steals as turnovers, more blocks than turnovers? 2-1 assist to turnover ratio!? Woo! He only averages 1.5 shots a game though.

We're going to need him in the playoffs. If Horford gets in foul trouble, Zaza is going to have to be able to step up and bang against the big boys. We need him getting some of his swagger back as the playoffs approaches.

I couldn't find his alley oop pass to Al earlier this year on youtube, I wish sportsouth can include that in the Zaza pass montage.

I keep forgetting this guy is only like 25. I still refuse to believe it, he looks like an old vet.

He hasn't done squat all year.

Me sorry Zaza.. I sorry...

[TheTruth]

Easily his best game all year...however, we need more efforts like tonight more often instead of once in a blue moon. The Zaza we got tonight is a force...the Zaza we have been getting most other times has been non-existent.

I said to myself before the game that one of our bigs will struggle tonight against that frontline...so one of the others will have to step up big time. Zaza did just that.

Looks like King Zaza answered the call!

[TheNorthCydeRises]

Yes sir . . . he did.

A lot of people complain about Woody not trying to play certain guys, but the 2 guys we need to compliment Crawford ( Zaza and Mo ) are the ones starting to step up lately. That's very good to see.

[APE]

It looked like he really got under Gasol's skin last night.

That story is ridiculously amazing. I sure hope its true instead of an April Fool's prank from a personalized Hawks jersey.
