    not sure what this means. i see some things, and i also look at data (which is easier to do on your own time and has the benefit of being factual).

    I was hard on AD at the beginning of the year until I actually looked at the data. The problem with our offense is other than Melo at home, we haven’t had anyone consistently playing at a high level besides AD. The problem with our defense is that besides AD, there hasn’t been anyone playing consistently good defense. Yes, AD has had a couple of bad games, but overall, he’s been better than everyone else.

    Another underwhelming offensive outing from AD. Especially given Giannis’ 47 points on 18 of 23. He’s not shooting a bad percentage he’s just not shooting enough and deferring too much. He’s having quarters with Ofers or just a couple points. We just need a lot more from him to win. 18 or 20 points a game isn’t going to cut it for our best player available. Not with Lebron out.

    He only had 1 FT attempt?

    He was fouled on a rim run they didn't call.

    Nevertheless, I'd like to see him get to the charity stripe more often.

    Way too big, skilled, and talented to not be there more often. IMO.

    Interesting.

    I also like to see him play above the rim more often. Put the pressure on the refs to make the calls.

    I give up. Two more years before we are stuck with him as the centerpiece. Hope Reaves becomes Kobe...

    If THT makes the "leap" this season we might have a new 1A after Lebron retires.

    Right. He’s not going to Get many calls jacking up threes and long twos.

    How did he play 37 minutes and not attempt 1 free throw?

    The reffing bias towards home cookin’ was the worst I’ve seen in a very long time. That fake call on THT where he literally got out of the way of Middleton’s jumper in the 4th almost had me throw my remote through mr screen.

    Yeah, removing the best all around player from an underperforming team is the answer.

    that play where they reviewed the clear offensive foul on giannis and didn't reverse it was kinda huge.

    he's bigger, stronger, and faster than everyone. if you're also simply supposed to get out of his way, you can't win.

    Giannis had no fear going at AD last night. That move at 2.48 is what AD should be doing to his defenders.
