    Great to have him back. He will definitely elevate our rebounding and defense to respectability. He should lay low on offense for awhile. Catch lobs, and get put backs, and get him the ball on the move.

    We can't get back into the habit of force feeding him the ball against a packed paint. #7 on offense without him and #28 with him. He should take a back seat there. It might even lead to better health.

    Aside from knowing he had a foot injury I didn't look into it too much. I remember hearing he may need surgery but it turned out to be a more pain management thing. With that being said is there a chance he starts to play on it and they realize he needs surgery after all? Or is he by all accounts healed from his injury?

    Altering/blocking shots is what I missed. Besides 4 blocks he had about 5 altered shots, such an effect he has.

    That was a SCARY moment. Glad it's no big deal. That block party AD had going was awesome.

    Yea, the 4 blocks and 12 boards in his first game back were a great sign, but MAN!: my life expectancy numbers are gettin' lower 'cuz every time AD falls - hell: crumpled - like he did in that half-court heave, I about damned near have a myocardial infarction. Not sure how much more of AD's falling I can take.

    If any of ya know about Sisyphus, that's how we feel trying to get to .500, amirite?

    Yes We’re almost there at .500 and we fall back again…frustrating but with AD back we might get that boulder over the hill.

    Having AD on your team can be very stressful indeed. Good game last night though, nothing to complain about. I'm so glad he's back. Hopefully we can start a serious win streak after he shakes off rust and Rui actually learns the playbook.

    Might take a few games to get everyone used to each other again and Rui adjusted but we are getting ready to take off.

    it was going to be a tough stretch, regardless, so maybe working out the kinks now is best. i expect we lose more than we win for a couple weeks, then if everyone's healthy, we could be set to finish the season strong.

    Man, I missed having someone in the middle who opposing teams are legitimately scared of. Really impressed with his defense in his first game back. Spurs either didn't go at him, got to the rim and had second thoughts or got their s*** blocked.

    challenging AD in the paint is just a bad idea. he has such great timing and body control. reminds me of olajuwon in this regard. really in many regards.
