One of Sports many mysteries because there is nothing you really can use to explain these undeniable patterns |

benji93:Haha! I understand bro. I have rules of engagement with everyone. No vex, I no go quote am for your matter again. ![]() If you say Holiday kept Lillard mute then I can make subjective inferences until the world comes to an end. I can say Davis dominated the rim and kept Nurkic, Lillard and others away from the rim. Holiday did his assigned job as a guard and it contributed to the success of the team, so did AD on both ends. I can also say without the clutch shooting of K. Middleton last year, the Bucks would not have made the conference finals before choking a 2-0 lead to the Raptors. I don’t know what or how you define leadership but it a very broad term and from the history of AD’s career he has shown he is a leader, maybe not your usual charismatic, in your face loud leader but every team he has played in from high school have always looked up to him as their leader and guess what he was up to the task. There are different styles of leadership, Curry does his with his on court performance while Green does the in your face thing.. but guess who the leader of the team is? Curry of course! How about S. Nash? He would rarely say a word on the court but Amare and the rest knew who their leader was! I will entertain arguments about stats, numbers and other but leadership? Or making his team or team mates better? That’s a no for me. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:40pm On Nov 27, 2019 |
A40: Its mind boggling! Hes obviously so talented. I've never seen an instance where a team is better off without such a good player. Its fascinating, i have never seen anything like this before. |

Lebron missed half season, and playoffs. Yet everyone was talking about the king, even during and right after the Finals! Curry has missed a month? Durant, Klay missed a month? The league has moved on bros ![]() ![]() Sometime, greatness is how your enemies cant get you off their minds. SAS and his followers in sifia pains |

Your point is well taken. Obviously we have different opinions on what leadership means. İ believe leadership varies from one social environment to another. İn this case, i believe the mix of qualities that constitute good leadership at the college level is different from the NBA. Again it's hard to make a definitive conclusion on his leadership, cos you cannot find a full regular season sample in which he played alongside at least one other star. İt's either he got injured, or his co-star, for instance Cousins got injured for a stretch of time. But as i have presented, in 2017/2018 season , he played 42 of the first 48 games with Cousins and Holiday and they barely won half of their matches. This was in reference to the argument that Davis cannot do what Giannis' is doing at the moment(as an extension to our who is better or are they at the same level argument ![]() Roland17: 1 Like |

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:42pm On Nov 27, 2019 |
benji93:OK, so your issue is than he's not a leader. But my argument is that he's a better player

Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 10:54pm On Nov 27, 2019 |
A40:Lol. When you're the primary ball handler you're bound to get high assists. AD is not the coach, so he can't make himself the primary ball handler. |

steady986:If you like make him kindergarten ball handler he can't pass like Giannis. And I'm sure there is a reason why he's never been a primary ball handler on any NBA team (don't tell me he was a PG in high school) 1 Like |

benji93:Guess who has the franchise record for most points, rebound and blocks for the Pelicans? Oh yes, it’s AD and he still ranks 6th in the all time assist category for the Pelicans. That is the on court evidence of leadership, no questions asked. He did on the court with different team mates mostly bums. Leadership transitioned from college to the NBA for him. AD was an all star before any of Cousins or Holiday joined him in New Orleans. The Bucks are 7-0 without Middleton in what stage of the season? I don’t think the Bucks are playing for the regular season so that record is irrelevant. Whenever it happens in the post season you can check that box. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Celtics really hate Kyrie I gotta ask too is this Bradley Beal nigga Kenyan? His cardio is off the chain. While the rest of the league is load managing this dude barely sits more than 2 mins each quarter. Almost a travesty that he gets to waste his prime with the Wizards |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 4:42am On Nov 28, 2019 |
You can tell the pelicans circled this date. Jrue Holiday especially is out to prove a point, so is AD. Fun duel. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:17am On Nov 28, 2019 |
This whole force feeding AD thing is putting the other players out of rhythm. And for goodness sake play some defence, seems Avery Bradleys more important to this team than i thought. And Bron stays bricking FTs its shameful to watch at this point! |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:53am On Nov 28, 2019 |
It will be a miracle if the lakers win this but hear me, hear me now, the Lakers are a fraud! And Josh Hart was not in good terms with lakers fans after the podcast debacle, hes not doing himself any favors after today. |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:55am On Nov 28, 2019 |
TIE GAME!!! BTW The pelicans are playing dirty! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 5:56am On Nov 28, 2019 |
BRON!!!! |
Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:00am On Nov 28, 2019 |
birdman: These are the games you should be winning if you want to be a top seed though. And the lakers have tough fixtures ahead if they become comfortable playing this badly and winning then they are going to have a very tough couple of weeks ahead. After the pelicans and the wizards, theres a storm ahead. |

Re: The NBA Begins by Nobody: 6:07am On Nov 28, 2019 |
Didn't want to get on the Rondo hate train but man its glaring how much better the team plays without him on both ends. The Lakers have some very difficult decisions to make, they need a wing and now apparently a more reliable back up PG. Caruso has been great but its more about his defence and hustle and from what i've seen this season isnt a capable floor general. |
