Anthony Davis Discussion: That's Why They Pay Me The Big Bucks

Suppose if one were interested it could probably be found on the last page or two of The Chosen One's thread. Are you claiming it? (don't honestly remember but it did catch my eye for the "what have you done for me lately ish ness of it)

 

You're injured, you sit. You play, you're giving it 100%, no half assing. Dude is way to important for our success to be playing in some meaningless games in February.

 

With his start, I thought he came back too soon. But once he got going, he was lights out. Second best scoring outing of the season.

It's games like that that serve as a friendly reminder of just how special the Brow is. Even with how well Embiid and Joker are playing, I think AD is the better player when they're all healthy. But that's the key, he needs to get his body right. Whether it's game restriction or minute restriction, it's not even All Star break and we need him at his best when we're gearing up for the playoffs.

 

he's better defensively than those two, and his offense is underrated (just not a great passer). but yeah, we need him to rest that leg and do PT instead of playing one good game/one bad game during the doldrums of the season.

 

Last thing we needed. Just great

 

So... there goes our record and championship. Time for Kuzma to become a super-star.

 

So f***ing stupid: you don't mess with certain injuries.

 

Pretty sure I heard AD say in his post-game interview after the Memphis game about how he felt a little sore but wanted to push past it to help the team win. Man, how can the organization hear that and let him keep playing?

I'm hopeful what happened today isn't going to be something major (knocking on wood), but this really needs to be the wake up call for leadership to put their foot down and sit AD for an extended time period, plus also start being more conservative with Lebron's minutes.

 

Seems like we kinda dodged a bullet? Maybe?:

 

Hopefully just a minor strain. Rest this guy until one week past the all star weekend at least! Move kuzma into the starting lineup, move shroeder to the bench, move Caruso to start as well. That way we have firepower off the bench.

 

so far it doesn't sound like anything too serious. i'm assuming if it was torn we would've known already

shut him down for as long as it takes to get back to 100% if that means finishing as the #3 seed, then so be it. hopefully the team and medical staff learned their lesson after not shutting him down a week ago

 

I'll hold my comments until the MRI comes out. But MFer nearly the whole world thought AD should be sitting. Avoiding an injury didn't appear to be calculus a couple days ago.

 

We're handling this, like we're some bottom team of the freakin recreational league. SIT HIS a** DOWN. Dude used to sit out games with a hurt pinky finger and now, all of a sudden, he plays thru an injured "achilles area"? Is this real life?

 

.... shoot it up.

 

Give him a few weeks off, a month or whatever is needed. Use this time to bump Kuz up to that responsibility level he is ready for. It will only help us more come playoffs.

 

Yeah pb is superstars choose when they play but medical staff should have said no in this case , ESPECIALLY given our current record.

It doesn't seem like "knock on wood" a season ending injury but I agree it can't get any dumber than this
