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

This is why I don't like hearing him say he did the same thing in the off season he has previously. I don't know what he does but he needs to tweak it just a bit...lol. There are so many new training methods that come out, just for fun try one of them. If we get 65 games out of him and have him relatively healthy for the playoffs I will be good with that. I don't think the odds are in our favor.

 

I don't care if he doesn't play in more than a handful of preseason games. As long as he's ready to go on opening night.

 

I want enough court time they start the regular season with some kind of cohesiveness. No repeats of last season. I do agree health is the most important factor for AD.

 

Glass half full guy chiming in …..

 

I blame @KareemtheGreat33 . He got his wish AD now looks skinny and weak and puny and probably should stay away from the action around the basket …. where next we’ll hear Kareem telling him to get his butt in there.

 

Pretty good non fat performance

 

shaky start on offense, but his three ball looked pretty good.

still sucks that we have a guy with his skillset and most of his catches are behind the three point line, and almost none of them are on the move.

looked great defensively. he was slow to rotate on the first possession of the game, but after that, he was everywhere. owned the paint on defense, which is really valuable (gobert does only that!).

 

Yeah, I like that his three point shot looked better but I don't want him taking a lot of those.

Defense and rebounding looked good though. The offense will come.

 

ironically, i've been clamoring for him to take more from the corner, and that's where he missed lol.

 

He played well yesterday.

 

Davis is 50% on 3s this year! Hold that thought.


Amazingly, one of those 3s was from the top of the arc. Didn't look 1/2 bad.

 

Sell high?

 

I'd rather see him taking the open 3's, than handling the rock and trying to be a playmaker.

 

Looked like our best player during his minutes and that's what Bron and Ham are pushing. We really need that AD back for 65 games.

Liked seeing him bring it up some to push the pace or to get to his spots.

 

yeah, it's good that the starting unit can have everyone but the center just go with the rebound. even if AD isn't magic, somebody has to account for him with the ball, and he can use transition to get himself or the ball to a spot that's harder to find against a set defense.

 

He did look like our best player and Ham is right to push that. I'm not convinced Lebron is sincere in pushing it. He has been giving that lip service for awhile but we will see. Different season so maybe a different mentality. Be good for the team if it AD is our leader on both ends.
