Anthony Davis Discussion: Thanks For The Ring AD!!!

or last year with trez and the idiot.

 

Not to pick nits, but I was letdown with his offense after the 1st Q. Hit some Js late and his D was solid throughout the game.

Started with an aggressive 11 and only finished with 24. Would've liked for him to keep the boot on the throats of Bam and Dedmon, so they have to play Haslem and the D League Turk more.

 

He totally wilted, stopped being aggressive, and settled- again. I expect more. He Betta’d out.

 

Vogel offense sucks , AD is sometimes too passive/likes thinking he's KD and Rondo is the only one who can get him easy baskets .

These 3 factors result in relegating a very talented big as a SG way too often

 

I believe Swaggy P and a few others have commented on this.

I hate the way Nike makes these things limited releases. Even after he passed they didn’t do a mass release for fans who wanted them at retail price.

 

LOL …. throw a smaller African cichlid in that tank and no more AD flitting about.

 

pau was actually himself the year after the second title. he went into a funk after that and didn't recover until he was in chicago.

AD seems ok to me. i think he doesn't get the ball in advantageous positions, and that's a product of our personnel, mostly. similar things happened to pau, tbh.

 

Nike has handled Kobe's line like s*** for years. That's why he was leaving them and eventually Vanessa did after he passed. All I wear are Kobe's, they are very comfortable and sleek with any outfit.

 

he doesn't seem to know how or want to run into the paint n seal his position, instead he floats near 3pt line and even gets pushed out to the 3pt line when he finally gets the ball...i saw multiple times where bam did the opposite and rim run right into the paint. There was 1 sequence where AD got ball at the high post while being defended by Lowry and did absolutely nothing to force mia to double and lowry eventually just tabs ball out of his hands

 

let's trade him. miracle he averages 25/12 while being possibly the most feared defensive player on the planet with so much beta. just too much beta. i'd like to see him physically mount bam the next time, just to show dominance.

 

if kyle lowry poked the ball away from me, i'd have straight up bitten him in the face/neck. but that's just how i roll. i don't understand submission; just not in my dna.

edit: btw, i'm watching the replay right now, and AD is sealing guys and being missed, then having to go get the ball on secondary action. every time he catches, his man is in place behind him and two guys have feet in the paint. when a smaller/quicker guy is on you and two guys are behind him, your only option is over the top. not sure what all the complaining is about, tbh.

 

What do you think about his jump shooting?

Trying to see if there was a change in mechanics between the bubble and now? Have you noticed anything?

 

i haven't. but i''m going to try watching more closely. i have no idea why he forgot how to shoot. can't help but think it will return at some point.

when he played in NO, i feel like the defense miami was throwing at him would have resulted in a 40 point game on the strength of 17 footers over small guys, but maybe my memory is off.

i know he kicked our a**** up and down the floor every time we played them, and he did so scoring basically everywhere but the three point line.
