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

Yeah I don't presume to know the cause of his issues either. I only know the effect. It's a real problem.

 

AD doesn’t look fully committed to win for the Lakers because Lebron isn’t either

 

People call him Robin for a reason. Even Robin had some Batman moments, but he could never be Batman full time.

 

1. didn't see portland game, but i saw the same chatter from the previous game, watched it, and didn't see what people were talking about.
2. the rock's not wrong. lebron sitting sends a message, too.

anyway, i don't think it's about passion or whatever. but i didn't really think that about pau, either. these are just skilled bigs whose game isn't flooring the ball and creating offense. if AD wasn't defending and rebounding (like how he opened last year), i'd be annoyed with him, too. but he's doing that. he's just missing makeable shots (and, in the gs game, getting fouled without whistle on paint attacks).

 

AD and Healthy is an oxymoron

 

Yeah, so I’m a “hater” because I’m tired of pretending AD will be healthy. It’s been THREE years of unfulfilled hope.
I love watching AD when he’s healthy and seems like he would be a cool guy to hang out with. I don’t HATE anyone.

 

i don't know. ask *waves hands* everyone in this thread?

not what happened. he realized his jumper wasn't falling and attacked the paint hard in the 4th quarter, and the refs just swallowed their whistles over and over. we, as a team, (wisely) went to other actions after that. he didn't settle.

trading AD is dumb. 50 games of AD is better than 82 games of what he returns in a trade. that's the point.

i don't think you're a hater (though he has several on this site). i just think you (and others) aren't really understanding the alternative and how much worse it is. good lord, imagine we hadn't traded for AD. hellscape.

 

I was all for the AD trade. I’m glad he was healthy enough to help us win our last Chip. I’m just of the belief that he will never be healthy for an entire season ever again.

 

Yeah, I just don’t get it. Tonight, just two days later he’s completely engaged on offense.
LeBron: “Maybe it’s me”. (Probably)

 

Puzzling

 

With Lebron out there he has way more room to operate offensively. Teams key in on him a lot when he's out.

 

his midrange shot was falling and the refs actually blew the whistle on his drives. good statement block on ingram that pretty much kept him away from the basket for the rest of the night, too.

 

Welcome back AD.
