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

In his lifetime, will he ever learn not to endanger his team in the clutch with stupid bonehead fouls? It’s not even a month when he fouled that Dallas scrub

 

Bron and AD messed up the switch , no communication ?

 

They are tired and old. It’s on Ham, he should have taken out LeBron at that point and put in a guard

 

I hope he goes for 35/15 against JJJ. He's our only chance to win a series against the Griz.

 

HUGE brain fart at the end there… but a win is a win and we need the rest days

 

That had to be an incredibly embarrassing moment to have happen again...lol.

 

It was a generous call to end the game .. The shot was missed before the foul actually occured

 

It was but the bald white ref was calling it tight for the Wolves all night. He also called foul on LeBron on that hustle play. That was an easy call for that corrupt ref.

 

again, had this happened against us with no call, we'd be called whiners because it clearly didn't affect the shot.

 

We would not get that call. You are right in that it didn't affect the shot. Our players should know by now how the calls are going to go and not give the refs the chance they are looking for.

 

Still can’t get over how badly we lost the AD trade. We got a player who can’t stay on the court, meanwhile the Pels get a physical specimen in Zion. And then we just casually threw in these pick swaps, going to gift Wembanyama to the Pelicans too.

That’s a haul folks.

 

Pels couldn't even make the playoffs in a historical weak season for the Western conference .

Zion played a total of 114 games in 3 seasons ...

 

Well, there is Embiid and Zingis to some extent, but I think it's an outlier. Zion gonna bust. Same with Wemby, IMO, for different reasons (Holmgren ones).

 

it's also funny because ingram's injured maybe 5% less often than AD. yet somehow does not have several nicknames concerning his fragility.

 

I like how the media/experts talk about the AD trade but conveniently forget the Paulina blunder
Galinari, 5 1st rd picks and SGA
We won the AD trade hands down (and Zion was going to the Pels anyways, it was rigged from the get go).

 

yeah, we're still talking about the AD trade when we paid less for him than the clips paid for PG and basically less than almost every team has paid for similar or lesser players since.

it's weird. i guess people just like talking about the lakers.

i mean, phx is going to get what, 1-2 years of durant, right? what did they pay for that? why? because they desperately want a ring. if they get even one, everyone will declare that trade a complete success, no matter what. well, we got ours.

 

Agreed. The weird thing to me is that we won a championship so right there we won the trade hands down. You are right, it is the Lakers so they will be talking about how we over paid even after we win again this year. I watched that AD close out on the shooter a bunch of times. They really need to run drills for AD were he closes out gathers and goes straight up. He definitely floats and even after he lands keeps going. There isn't enough time for a fake and drive so just go up safely as high as he can. We can live with the make or miss.

 

Rewatched the last 3 minutes, AD was not paying attention on that last play, he went with Bron doubling KAT, missed a switch since HBK went after Prince, Conley was able to sneak into the corner. Just dumb with no attention to detail like that Mavs game.

 

AD is a better defender then JJJ; frankly I think a lot better. Plus AD doesn't have good defenders in front of him like JJJ
Hard to tell what motivates AD but him not getting pub for DPOY while this other guy who doesn't even play 30 ppg is the big frontrunner has to be galling.

Maybe Ham or Bron can remind him of this to get him revved up

 

He said he called for a switch for Lebron but didn' know if lebron heard it. Lebron did the switch but because he wasn't sure it slowed AD on his rotation
