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

You too? Ignoring all the in the key /around the basket scoring and other statistics that were posted here less than a week ago …. where he either led the league or was in the elite top few players bracket in the others. Did you forget already or just think they were fake numbers. Or whatever other reply it will be I’m sure you’ll come back with. But that’s a horsebleep take in describing the state of his overall game and minutes spent where PROVEN wrong by the actual numbers.

 

well i guess all the other decline and lack of effort some of the games are all attributed from playing C I guess, an plan which he seemed to embrace by getting bulkier

 

Let me ask you again for some clarity. What exactly are you talking about, when you are referring to his "DECLINE" . Where is this decline occurring?

 

This thread had turned into a dumpster fire.

But at least it is all on topic.

And at the very least, we don't have to have Simmons vs Ingram, Okafor vs Kat, and Zo vs. Tatum debates while we listen to Byron Scott.

Chances are most fans tuned out those years; came back when we got AD and LBJ and now are unhappy with both.

To each his own, though.

 

Lebron has played in 18 games and has missed 90 three point shots. AD has attempted 56 in 27 games. Is AD's three point shooting really some kind of big deal?

 

I have a sense of humor for sure. It's just that so many here are dumping all over him with this injury thing. Like s*** happens type injuries don't happen to everyone. I'd argue the teams that win the championships tend to be the luckiest top tier teams each year in terms of health and lack of serious injuries at the worst times. It's always a crap shoot.

 

Hey LT chill dude, let people vent, AD was a disappointment before this season ending injury and not the AD we traded for, can we agree with that?:THT Heart Hands:

 

No LOL. There’s venting and there’s unfair nonsense. Whichever player hasn’t given us much for a couple games gets crapped on. In his thread it’s been non stop now. You’re actually serious I take it then with the FAT stuff but you want him manning up and battling in the paint. Y’all can go hide in WMC thread and have a ball.

But with you let’s



Get me buzzed and then we’ll rumble.

 

trades. always trades. we really can't make any now because our salaries are tied up in three players, none of whom we can sensibly or easily move.

we'd get less for russ in a deal now than we paid for him, and it would send a bad message all around.

 

maybe everyone else should spoon feed their bigs so much, huh? wonder why nobody else is able to replicate this scheme.

sorry, your take here is an absolute joke, in total willful ignorance of facts.

 

interesting part in the middle of the third clip where he talks about using the time to get his mind right. i thought last year he wasn't right physically, and i've said this year he doesn't look right, mentally. feel like he just admitted it.

 

Interesting. I mentioned this a few days ago that he may need to get his mind right if it wasn’t his health.

 

As imperfect as he is, I would still rather have him than not. The team philosophy needs to shift drastically away from being Lebron-centric but trying to maximize AD.

 

This team needs to replace half its players to maximize AD’s strengths. In all honesty, LeGM has shown he has no clue on how to do this based on his choice of adding Westbrook.

 

what is this AD team we need?

 

No, but I DID expect AD to get hurt.

Probably 6 weeks out. The Lakers had not gelled yet and proved they could beat the truly good teams. Now with another Covid surge, the health and safety protocols: this will be another "asterisk" season anyway.

 

As fans , it's tough to accept the Lakers are not good every year as they used to be before 2013...

Passions/spare-time ( whatever the right wording is here ) are supposed to be fun , there is no fun in watching this team
