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

Aren’t you expected to be logical in your line of work?

You bemoan AD not man enough to get in the key where he belongs and do battle. Since he too lurks at LB and see’s you’re a Big Man fan, “Kareem”…. AD yokes up some for you with muscle to better give him a chance to make you happy.

What do you do to repay his efforts …. do a 180 now and mock his newly yoked body instead as FAT and claiming his problems stem from the weight gain. Should have stayed puny like he was and still mano y mano’d against KAT last night at his skinnier weaker weight and whupped him anyway. And being FAT created the extra gravity which pulled the guy bouncing off LeBron directly into his knee.

Got it. Well I’m representing him and he pleads Not guilty. And I’m requesting a change of venue to a more reasonable and logical alternative location.

 

so your content with what you're seeing out of AD this season?

 

Sorry, your statement makes zero sense.
If I guy goes out there and doesn’t give a sh!t, but has all the talent in the world, he’s going to have a bad game and not help his team at all.

 

what exactly does a team built for AD look like? Was it that rondo/holiday that had 1 good year,

 

That's not what Davis does either. I don't imagine that you've ever played a lick of competitive basketball in your life. You seem to think the NBA is some kind of rec league, and all AD has to do is "play hard". Hurt or not...you know...he's Anthony Davis!! and all that jazz.

 

If the man isn't healthy, I'm not killing him for trying to prove something to the experts and fans by gutting it out. It's a dumb idea IMO, and ultimately only hurts your team. But hey ...guys are human after all. I know the fans are going to kill you either way...soft or injury prone. Most fans only care about winning a game. It is what it is. No..to answer your question tho...I don't think lack of effort or coasting, was AD'S issue this season. I do not.

 

You seem to assume a lot about a lot of things. Don’t act like you actually know me, or what I’ve done in my life.
You can refuse to acknowledge the fact that he’s been mailing it in the past season and a quarter, but your dismissal isn’t the End All, Be All. Your OPINION doesn’t hold more weight than anyone else’s around here, so stop acting like it does.
You just come off as very childish.

 

Lakers should trade Davis and Westbrook in the winter. The first one is injury prone and his contribution to the team is not even close to what he earns. Russel's numbers are good, but he does not play any defense and his 3 point shooting is bellow average. 44 mil this season and player option for 47 mil. for the next one? No way Jose. With his money we can get 2-3 younger player, who in a long run can be more useful.

 

As I said...you have never played at a competitive level in basketball. I wasn't wrong at all about that. No..he hasn't been mailing in anything IMO. Just because I don't share your Opinion..doesn't make me dismissive. Some folks seem to get into their feelings pretty quickly, if someone disagrees with their takes. I don't give a flip, if someone disagrees with mine.

 

Why would anyone give up young players for Russ for a one year rental?

 

This is weird logic with the AD deal because this team was also really good last year. I'm pretty confident if they were healthy they would have won the title once Kawhii went down with the ACL. I'm mean they were about to take over the Phoenix with a poorly conditioned Lebron till AD went down.

1 title, 1 legit title shot, and I'm not ready to give up on this season till i see the full team. We haven't had a chance to see what Vogel was envisioning: Ariza/THT/Reaves taking a bulk of minutes with shooting sprinkled in with Monk/Ellington/Melo

 

what? no one saying he needs to gut this knee thing out, I'm asking you're content with what you're seeing out of AD this season when he does play?

 

I wasn't talking about his knee either. Yeah..I'm good with what he's done playing out of position at 5. No I don't think he has been coasting or loafing most of the season either.

How do you see us playing?

I see is going smaller a lot more of the time.

Spread the court with LBJ and Russ. Add shooters.

Hope for the best.

 

18% from 3s, TO increased, mid range % also decreased, ft % decreased last 2 yrs and he hasnt been playing C all season either and the minn gm we've seen that AD multiple times this season thus far

 

He was injured in the Minnesota game. Probably shouldn't have played. I would expect his numbers to suffer a hit playing out of position for that many minutes. If you don't think he's been at 5 for the majority of the time he's played, I don't think you've been watching our games. I'm not sure what you were expecting out of AD this season as the 5. He's a power forward not a center.

 

Actually, you were wrong about that, you fool. I played in High School. You are disrespectful, annoying, and you feel the need to “win” every discussion, just like when my kids were in their early teens. I prefer you just ignore my posts from now on because you obviously aren’t interested in having an intelligent conversation. I hope your life improves, because you seem like a miserable person.

 

The problem is AD wants to play the 5 offensively but not defensively. He can slip the bigs of the league but he don't like banging with them.

 

Slick and Front, there is an ignore function, use it.
