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

Ha! Jack Black looks like he should be an instructor at Hogwart’s now.

 

He needs to dominate the Clippers esp when Zu is not playing

With that being said - I think guys also need to do a better job of getting him the ball.

Either way - he was everywhere defensively once again. But he can't do this every night - he needs help on the boards and defensively

 

That commercial.



Look at clean cut no tat AR starting to reap the benefits left and right and overseas with the shoe deal of being a Laker.

 

Much more aggressive against the smaller Wiz from the beginning. Racked up 24 & 8 by halftime. They don't really have a real center to throw at that matchup, instead their bigs are PFs playing up a spot. It's a shame he had to put up 40 on them for us to win this... in OT.

 

Historical context

 

Not Bad for a not-Batman …. Betaman!

 

He should never leave a practice if there's any stretch where his mid range J isn't dropping ... without shooting enough with game movement, to get it right again in a hurry. He's unguardable with those at his height and coordination, with the threat to blow by and jam. Should be the easiest part of his game I would think rather than having to bang on guys on offense down low for 2 pointers.

 

disappeared in 2nd half just like last yrs den series

 

Needs to be better. Missed those mid range shots and kind of got lost on offense.

He played much better the first game against Denver. Lakers are better off just having him guard Jokic probably going forward

 

The worst thing is he was very poor defensively in the last 5 minutes

 

Joker is not only the best big but best best player in the game. I don't expect AD to stop that, but I do expect more from him.

Only 17 points. Only 13 FGAs -- tied for 4th among the starters. Only 4 points in the second half. Not nearly good enough.

Defense was subpar for his standards as well. If you're not guarding Joker, then we need you to destroy every other action they're running.

 

AD feels like Robinson vs Jokers Hakeem right now.

Amazing that AD outplayed and beat just a few years ago! AD jumpshooting regression and the lack of Dwight has flipped the tables

 

Still surprised and bummed that Rob didn’t realize this past summer that he needed to add a bruising big.
I think he totally underestimated just how valuable the tandem of Dwight and JaVale were against Joker.

 

But again, who? ... that fit that description and could have any effect on Jokic (really big bruiser) and have any semblance of skills on offense, and was available for what money we had? "Maybe" Biyombo would have taken the money Prince got but he held out and got like 1M more? DLO, Rui and Vando were necessary first, and then Vincent to cover Schroder's departure.

 

@ElginTheGreat

Rofl. Ham should have one this to AD.

Hahahahaha

 

Lol. Exactly.

 

AD doesn't have a post up game, he prefers to face up, and attack from the midrange, that's his game.

Jokic weakness on defense, is defending the low post, but that's not AD'S strength.
Anthony has to hit his jumpers, he was off, but 4 pts ain't gonna cut it.

If AD is going to shoot 2-6, in the 2nd half, then we are probably, going to have a problem.

 

That’s not my job. I’m not cozy with any agents or GMs. There are deals every single off season that come out of nowhere.
My point is that we had a formula around LeBron that worked well enough for a Chip and we went away from it.
