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

Well he looked really rusty lol.

Moved pretty well though: not many guys can block a Zinger jumpshot

 

Happy here for sure. Moved very well and wanted more time on the floor if they would have let him. Got the shots off, just rusty with their accuracy. Welcome the **** back Big Guy!

 

He'll be fine. Most important thing was as he said, he didn't think about the injury at all.

The silver lining is the 9 weeks rest after a grueling run last year with little break. 14 games ramp-up to the playoffs is perfect.

We need Lebron back for the last 7-8 games mostly for the benefit of Drum to get used to playing with him as much as possible, even if it is 7 games or so.

I'm actually a little giddy at the thought of a fresh LBJ and AD going into the playoffs but this time with Drum, Schroder, Trez, 3 other players at a level we did not have last year. And an all-around improved cast.

 

thought the same--there was only one play that i thought he looked a little gimpy, and it could have just been he missed a beat mentally. but he had some steals, blocks, and rebounds that others don't get, and a couple signature nice moves on offense.

just good to see him back on the floor.

 

Ludabrow is long, he managed to block Porzingis jump shot. He looked rusty out there, no surprise, and the guys have to get used to playing with him again.

 

Seriously? I waited nearly three months for that? I want my refund

 

35/12/4/2 and a W

 

^^^ but what if that happened while it was one of the Laker games you don’t even watch all the time any more, Mr Jaded on pro basketball?



PS .... I don’t believe you

 

Can we play him the 2nd half instead of the 1st? It was nice to see him back. It was nice to see someone on our offense force a double team, it immediately makes things easier for the offense with open looks and more spacing.

 

AD has been injured. Pay attention.

 

whats new?

 

It was really great when he grabbed the calf. Jesus I almost punched my monitor

 

Almost had a heart attack watching him grab at his lower leg, saw the season flash before my eyes. Instantly had to look it up to remember what leg his original injury was, around the time I confirmed it was the other leg they showed the relay and showed that he just got kneed. Probably just a bruise if anything, but that was definitely a relief!

There were a few moments where he looked like AD. Even just the situations where his presence draws double teams is going to help us right now. Once he gets his rhythm and starts hitting some of those shots, our entire offense’s efficiency is going to start improving.

 

He was holding the ball in iso and missing mid-range, 3s, and FTs the first 20 games too.

Been criticizing the offense all season - movement is rare. Was hoping some of the guys would improve and be able to run things without relying on Bron and Ad. Did in spurts. But nothing that will win a playoff game. Frustrating. Especially the offense with Gasol in and Dennis out. It is ridiculous and opposing coaches must laugh to themselves knowing we will have no paint pressure.
