Anthony Davis Discussion: Thanks For The Ring AD!!!

Yup not quite that 40/13/3 guy on 65% FG he was before he went down but he's there, lurking and coming soon. Have mercy when he does.

 

Zion played 28 games, AD 29 with higher fan votes. SNUBBED for the all star not that I want him to go

 

Meh game and then he hits a tough turnaround against Turner and just rejected the s*** of Halliburton's shot after he was switched on to him in the perimeter

I don't know many bigs in NBA history who are capable of doing those two plays back to back

 

Big time close on both ends

 

He better show up against the Pelicans, none of these mediocre stuff (for him), double nickel preferable! we need that pick swap nullified.

 

What a sequence to finish it off!!!

 

OK those are the last two key plays obviously I missed when DirecTV hard drive broke, plus last 5 minutes.

But yikes, maybe our complaining after getting jobbed by the refs in the 3-4 other games kept them from doing a home call on AD "possibly" being called for body contact on Haliburton at the end, in spite of very clean block. That's the kind of call they've been screwing us on. Would have probably been 2 made FTs and game for Pacers. Or 1 made and another damn OT.

 

why do teams keep testing AD in these situations?

 

A very unique (maybe not even?) beta.

 

ask halliburton and turner if he's a beta.

 

they forget how good he really is

 

No need for that, Lakers' fans know better.

 

He has these moments where he just can't make point blank shots at the rim. Especially in the fourth..

 

Needs to demand the ball in the post at times when he's got guys on him that are smaller. Lebron looked tired and NO was quicker to the ball on the perimeter but you can't teach size.

 

Deja vu , didn't attempt a shot for like 5-6 minutes in a row in the 4th

 

didn't see AD as our problem last night. once again the only guy causing problems defensively, and he had a pretty large and efficient scoring night.

it's the team defense that gives up 131 points in regulation to the zion-less pelicans when they weren't even hot from the perimeter. just no excuse for that. it's coaching and team-wide disinterest in that end of the floor. to have it happen at this stage in the season with the position we're in speaks volumes.
