Purely speculation..but when Zion dunked from the FT line in the Earn Everything documentary...RJ was a bit miffed when talking to his Dad...he likes the limelight...after Tuesday Zion got a lot of press for the block and pass...RJ looks like he is trying to do it all himself today..maybe hurting our game a bit.

That is absolutely speculation. That’s more of a son and his dad joshing with each other, than RJ having some jealousy complex. He’s secure in who he is and where he belongs.

Check the tape and see who the first one is, celebrating with Zion. See who gets Zion the majority of his alley oops.

This team is secure. K has said it, the players have said it. No story here.

Man to man defense leaves open layups under the basket...its all about communication...the emphasis of the pre-season...Army leaving lots of points on the floor with easy misses

Good observation. The man is awful today.

Too much token help from the perimeter. If you’re helping off the perimeter, you’d better get to the ball. Otherwise you’re leaving shooters and lanes open.

I've heard all this talk about RJ is going to get his shot, but damn he needs to give it up when Zion is open 5 feet from the basket.

He will figure it out guys. He has always been the best player and received the most attention. He is not going to change that and adapt to it right off the bat. Good thing is there are other great players that can help sustain the negative damage he may do at any given time.

Guys seriously, don’t let @Jakarii get in your head about about RJ being some selfish diva. The kid knows his role. He’s the lead scorer. It makes life easier for the rest of his teammates, especially Zion. I can assure you RJ is not shooting out of the offense. He’s doing what is asked of him this early in the season.

I'll tell you what...I'm a little nervous. We've let this scrappy bunch hang around too long and too close. Better separate, 'cause if this thing is within a couple of points near the end...anything can happen.

Reality check for all of us including myself. We are back to the same old stuff we have seen in the past. Cannot keep the ball in front of us, now everyone is over helping and leaving shooters wide open. What a great game plan by army

Selfish diva. When did I say that or anything close to that? Stop with the Trump logic/lies

Not gonna lie. I'm glad this is happening. These guys have been branded an all-time great team after 1 game. They needed to be humbled. We're fine.

But let's not schedule anymore games against Army on Veteran's Day!
