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

Just another round of ammunition for one the worst trades of all times argument with the Russ move

 

Not as tough as he thought he was

but we knew…

 

yes. well, him and lebron. this is why you don't let the players manage. AD was always half-hearted about playing c, and for good reason. just like dirk, he needs to play c for the last five minutes of each half. you can win that way. like, championship win. but not with AD as full-time starter at c and two guards under 6'4". that has never worked.

 

As s***ty as Westbrook is to this team, Anthony Davis being useless most of this season is a bigger punch in the nuts because he is the PRIME player. Lebron dropping off was inevitable. AD was suppose to be the guy who continued with after Lebron. This is the killer for the franchise.

 

we need to commit then. handing him the ball at the three point line on the standstill and asking him to defend for everyone isn't the way.

 

Hmm… sounds like a coaching problem then right?

 

That and roster construction. AD played poorly early in the season, but he definitely has been our best player since he came back.

 

another half a** effort, guarded by little guards, fade away jump shot, 16/7 is what you expect from kuzma not a supposed top big in the league playing vs little guards n a sf disguised as C in Looney

 

Yeah, 7 rebounds in 35 minutes and playing passive ain't going to cut it. It looked like he forgot he was taller and could post up when he was on offense too.

 

Stupid goaltend at the start of the game, stupid foul running into a three, lost rebound led to a three, missed point blank lay-up after missing free-throw. Just cost us key points out there... too bad. Overall good team effort but James and Davis didn't come though.

 

This same Warriors team got destroyed by Gobert and Mitchell Robinson last 2 games and AD looked pedestrian tonight. I get it hes getting hit and hes playing tripled quite often but man he looks lost out there ala Pau. I dont know if we will see the old AD again

 

at least pau was still willing to get in the paint and bang

 

His struggles are also Lebron's fault. We do our best when we post him up (even if 17 ft away). We barely saw any plays for him. The many times Lebron tried getting him the ball off a P & R there was a turnover.

The team's offense and schemes are too Lebron centric and doesnt utlize AD adequately

 

turned him into Bosh lowkey

 

Lowered the expectations now, guy has fallen, mentally checked out, trade him for Kaminga lol

 

The dilemma of basing your offense around a 37 year old aging super star.

 

This is what happens when you bend the whole offence towards Lebron. He gets his numbers, but is too tired to defend and do the intangibles that win games. While players like AD and Russ aren’t utilised properly and check out.

 

Shooting J's when guarded by the likes of Bjelica/Wiggins isn't the solution .
