    This is the game you should be railing on him.

    After what he said about seeding and then just crapping the bed?

    Big AD fan, but last night was awful.

    Oh I am. Just hadn't said it here yet. Lol.

    Just not a good game from him at all. Its worse to me because at least Jokic is an MVP.

    Sengun is considered European lol. Turkey plays in the Euroleague and etc.

    Funny how the "counter" to AD is reportedly the same one as Jokic lol bigger physical 5's (and being European for AD's case).

    Something tells me Dwight wouldn't be as effective vs. the current Joker right now...since no other big guy in the NBA can stop him right now

    Well..The city he is from was founded by the Greeks, it lies on the coast of the Black Sea, which is bordered by 6 countries that are considered to be in Europe. Turks often self identity as Europeans, especially the ones that live in that region. So I guess it depends on who you ask.

    I live in Houston, I've heard a little about this kid's story. If you asked him, he'd say he was European.

    Yea: this I still can't wrap my head around. I mean, every time I watch SAC, I look and think, Why are they going so small? There's not a Big out there at all. It's Sabonis. There he is. He looks small, but he plays big.

    And guys: we can talk Euro players all day, but there's Euro players, then there is Nikola "Joker" Jokic, all alone by himself, totally world-class. I can't even think of Nurkic being compared to Jokic. And Nurkic is good.

    Jokic has problems with Nurkic, Sabonis and Sengun too defensively. Euros are weak defenders in general, except for some reason, the French guys. And Giannis..he's also a European player.

    His footwork and ball handling skills are outstanding too.

    AD needs to take some ballet classes, seriously, it might help his balance issues. I'd also send him to Houston, to work with Hakeem in the summer. He needs to develop some back to the basket moves, besides that jump hook.

    No drop steps, no fade away jumper, his bag is very limited on the low block.

    I'm sure he can whip up one real quick. Didn't he have an AD Bin Laden gif floating around here once?

    Didn’t see it, but I’ll trust you on that one. For tonight.

    but to be fair to any of his detractors, he’s had plenty of beta moments in his career and as a Laker. He’s in a fantastic stretch right now though, and I hope he can stay healthy.

    Huge props to AD for slugging it out. He was still super important for the win down the stretch.

    Given his shoulder injuries history , it's probably just a stinger .

    Hopefully he'll play against Sota then I would give him a 5 days rest by sitting against SAC.

    I think we could surprise the Queens without Bron and AD

    The last time we beat the Queens, AD sat out and Lebron, Russ, Dennis, and Thomas Bryant went OFF.

    Not too shabby




    Considering just how lucky we've gotten this year with his injuries, this does concern me a bit.


    Had a really solid game and then continued to grit it out.
