Anthony Davis Discussion: Only Player On Both All NBA + All Def

Not really a 4th quarter guy smh

 

Meanwhile, the three "studs" from the Pelicans are leading their 0-4 team that can't play any defense. Hard to believe that Hart, Ingram, and Ball were our top 3/5 players and they can't do s*** in New Orleans...

He has long legs so the way he lands probably puts too much pressure on his knees and he has to tumble to the floor instead. I wish he would stop hustling for every play, though. He can definitely avoid at least 50% of them just playing smarter.

I think he's intentionally slim so he can run fastbreaks. He has a problem posting up because he's not bulky. Can't have em all I guess.

 

and that ladies and gentlemen, is why you make the AD trade 10/10 times

i just wish he wasn't so damn fragile

 

Clearly not an alpha, souped up role player at best.

 

but pick swaps.

pick swaps.

 

Who’s Ingram, Ball and Hart? Never heard of them.

 

Making Harden proud...

 

I have zero regrets about the trade, but I do want to point out that the Pels have missed Holiday and Favors the last couple of games so without those guys their lineup is Ball, Ingram, Hart, Reddick, and garbage. Besides the Warriors game, they've played everyone very close. I'd do the trade over again without thinking, but those kids really are being backed up by other 20-21 year olds, so I wouldn't expect much from that team until they get their vets back and then of course, Zion.

 

Absolutely incredible. 40-20 is 31 minutes. That's a MVP line. Hell, his 14/9 in the 1st Q is considered a good night for most starting bigs.

26 made free throws on only 27 attempts... Harden is jealous(AD should have shot the illegal defense FT, but Bron got greedy) Going to the line at the rate of a Shaq with the efficiency of Nash. You don't often see a team unintentionally using a hack-a-x strategy. Every time he touched it, he got hit and went to the line in the 3rd. At some point, you'd think they'd try I don't know, maybe not fouling. We were going to win regardless when AD is playing like that, but they have themselves to blame for the blowout. You won't find any rhythm when you're sending the opposition to the line at that rate and just feeding the energy of the crowd, causing nearly a 30 point run by us.

 

Who woulda thought...Did all that damage at the 4 too. McGee with 29:15 and Dwight with 18:45. Getting a 3rd center just makes it a lock he doesn’t really have to grind there too much during the regular season.

Expecting this type of video game offensive production, roaming off ball on defense to play like a DPoY and bring in that same type of burn and then some into May. We expect him to do all that...we need him to do all that. So minutes at the 5...not really a must, right?

And here I thought it’s in our best interest to keep dude happy and protect him till the real season starts. Still don’t understand why they wanna kill you so bad AD...and with it, our title chances? f*** your feelings and your health, I guess they really want that 2k small ball death lineup with you playing next to Bron & Kuz, cause we need them Sportcenter highlights in Nov browdie. f***. your. feelings...

Leave this man alone and honor his wishes...cause at the end of the day, y’all better be looking out for his health if you want him going Mark Madsen on us in June.

 

Wow. It never stops.

 

Wow. Dude is expected to shoulder a whole lot here. Go smoke some hash again (aka a rehash) and help clown Kcp and Rondo some. It seems like that’s the game most everyone wants to play.

Unless of course you want to add something of substance (other than hash) to the discussion...I’m game for that.

Anywho...more games like this please.

 

Nope. Something in his head thinks we are all in Vogel's head with a mind meld affecting his lineup decisions.

Or wants every last one of us to agree AD should never play a minute at the 5 against a smaller dude until the playoffs. Neither is rational. Nor is that game plan rational. Hell the 4 he was matched against last night looked like he could have been more physical and stronger. Started thinking maybe we should pull him until the next game and hope their starting 4 is smaller than AD.

 

Against some teams he'll look amazing and some others will expose weaknesses. I hope our other players can step up when he has those games and they can keep him out of the paint by bodying him up.

Very nice to see some decent 3 Pt shooting out there, although what we really need is more play makes tbh. ---- Magic (Probably)

 

No s*** Sherlock. We all wanted him banging against Valančiūnas but our limited and suck *** consolation prize of a coach didn't think it was a good idea and overruled us.
