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

So are you really going to piss and moan every single time regardless of match ups and Vogel's decisions that AD happens to be at the 5 in limited fashion the entire season to remind us you don't like it? We got it, you won't like it. The Lakers organization doesn't care and we got it here at LB. What is your end game, just annoying the **** out of eveyone to do it hundreds of times more over the course of the season because you're an armchair coach too?

 

So AD is playing tonight and the thumb injury is much ado about nothing (which I made clear when it was first reported).

Also my opinion is much ado about nothing when it comes to your enjoyment of our squad. I don’t want any part of ruining it for you...seriously.

So don’t take my opinion too serious either. It’s just for discussion. I’m annoyed you guys ain’t secure with your own opinion of our squad to let my lil opinion bother you so much. You want to discuss stuff, I’m game. But if you want to discuss how our squad is flawless 100 times, you got plenty folks here that will join you and agree with you in unison. If my opinion is distracting you from that, put me on ignore just like others have. What’s your endgame? Muting me? Wanting me to agree with everything and everyone?

My endgame is #17 and beyond and I’ve said repeatedly get our main guys to the postseason at near 100. So believe it or not, but I do like our squad and support it to get us there. Just want to see it all the way thru...that’s all!

Yeah, I’ll just end it with that...take it away AD.

 

Cool.... truce. No one thinks our squad is flawless, just has compete for a ring potential. No squad is flawless and finally seeing your 15 it isn't either. It's just time to give the team a chance and see how well the coaching staff can make the pieces fit and do a good job coaching them. Injuries will happen just from typical basketball s***. At any position. I think our center rotation has a chance to dominate most teams, same as with Boogie in place of Dwight cause he can shoot. But Dwight has a lot more mobility and can still bang.

 

I like our discussion...I just don’t want it to get contentious.

And I agree there is no real right way to roster construction. Each variant will expose a concern or spawn many.

It’s just about preference: mine is capitalizing on a 3rd max star if the opportunity were to arise. Also protecting your stars at all costs cause it’s mainly those players that dictate just how far we can extend our playoff run. No disrespect to the “others”, but imo they just insurance for the stars to bring home the hardware for us.

 

Not understanding WHY AD has to play tonight...I'd not risk it at this point if I was the Lakers.

Or maybe his "injury" was just not even really an injury and it was the media once again overplaying their hand and dramatizing it for clicks? Meh...I should get used to this

 

Chemistry probably. Read that the team didn't really get a chance to have productive practices in China.

 

That's fair. And season starts in like a week so we might as well get reps in now.

 

Hit the ground running. Let's kick the Clippers a***s opening night. We're deep.

 

^ who would have thought...

 

yeah, no one could see that coming, having two unselfish (arguably the top 2) players in the League, playing well together

 

I mean, they’re no Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, though!!

 

Welcome home.

 

Smooth. Nearly racked up a triple double while having an off night.

 

I can see why he doesn't want to play Center, as he's actually pretty weak for his size. Finesse guy all the way.

So he's not an Alpha, and neither is Lebron except in stretches.

Thank God we have Caruso to help close out games.
