I think the Lakers are a play- in team, I've come to accept that. I have given up on AD balling out. This weekend was the prime example as to why he is not that guy.

Good comment but I think it’s actually “Role Player Mentality” rather than “Bench Warmer.” AD doesn’t play with star swagger or underdog mentality. He plays as a passive/aggressive hot/cold inconsistent role player.

I mean he's proving his point. He always said the Lakers had a chance to be the 6th seed. They did have a chance. And frankly, still do. People love taking everything out of context and spinning a narrative. People act like the Lakers are 10 GB from the 6th seed. They're currently 1.5 GB. So Nick is 100% right lol.
@@DEEiBe Do you need to read with your finger? AD got a chip because he joined the Lakers, otherwise he'd be in the same exact position as Dame if not worse.
Seeing Nick go from "oh let's look at how easy their final 10 games is!" To "oh these final games are tough". Nick for the past week+ has said how easy their schedule was and how they where the most dangerous team in the west and how has it flipped, who could have seen that?!
It should have been a cakewalk, they lost to teams they had no reason of losing too. The reason Nick flipped flopped is because you honestly don't know what to even expect from the team. Without Lebron (the only seemingly consistent player for them) every game is a ? it's really hard to gauge them.
LAKERS are good!! if they would've had this line up in the beginning they wouldn't be struggling to get that 6th spot! lets just hope there consistent down the road
When they are out of play in, yall laker fans are gonna still use the word IF. If they won last 20games they would be first, but guess what. They didnt! Cry
Nicktradamus went 0-2 by affirming the Knicks and Kings would win last night 🤣🤣 He funnily is so optimistic when supporting or creating a case for his hypothesis.
I don't mind Reaves taking over. It's a team game..AD didn't have to be dominant and has more energy for the next game. Bron coming back with the team already being in go mode is gonna be something to see.
So then when can you expect AD to take the keys and be the no 1 guy that the lakers expect him to be? early in the reg season? no middle? no, injured late? no sorry taking games off playoffs? 😂
If 2nd low volume 3-point shooter (1.3----3-pointers made off only 3.3 attempts per game) Austin Reaves is the one to step up to the plate instead of 1st Unit D'Angelo Russell. Then D'Angelo Russell is not good enough to be a 1-2 Scoring Punch with A.D. Roster change needed for a 2nd high volume 3-point shooter.
Yeah, when he plays… and when he’s not in foul trouble.. and this isn’t football bro, you gotta play both sides. Especially when you’re still in your prime
Yeah these "experts" just looking for clicks but fact of the matter is that AD has stepped up a number of times when he was called upon and a bad stretch wont diminish him as a player
@@austenvantassell240 wow so we really picking one game now and project it onto everything he has done? Are you really that nitpicky? 😅 AD has shown throughout his career that he is a perenial DPOY caliber player... one bad performance wont change that
AD has always been like this though, his production can be a little bit of a roller coaster the important thing is that he’s healthy. He’ll turn it back on soon.
It's strange how no-one talks about the fact that if the lakers just had a backup Center. That would have changed Houstons game plan and given momentum for the Dallas game. How one decision not to sign anyone even with Mo down and not having a backup to AD. Could cost the lakers bigtime
Absolutely…AD and Ben Simmons prove that without heart and desire, someone like Austin Reaves is much more valuable to his team. Mainly bc of consistency.
I'm just starting the episode but I can't wait to see what excuses Brew has for the Warriors this week. Maybe next month they'll finally win some road games? :-).
Everyone is forgetting that the opposing teams are now collapsing on AD without Bron on the floor. He keeps getting 2 - 3 people collapsing on him whenever he has the ball and is near the paint. Lakers really need to improve their 3 pointers at this juncture of the season without Bron to free up AD.
@@thepublishingpoet8435 Exactly, they go 4'5 possessions without him touching the ball. That's not on him. Then he gets doubled, like what are people watching. It's the same thing with Giannis. If he gets double he's gonna give it up and others gotta step up
Refs gifted the lakers that game with a few bad calls and missed goal tends at crucial times. Against a respectable team, they will get found out. Austin is the bright spark. He reminds me of booker.
The Lakers’ depth being able to withstand AD playing like trash and not having LeBron says a lot about how good they actually are, though. We’re on a 10-6 run since the deadline, 8-5 since the All-Star Break. We can’t say that this operation is fried. They’re a good team that simply had a lull; the problem is that the 2-10 start left no margin for error. They’ll bounce back even more after beating Orlando.
@@SuperPyrate25 Yea fr crazy how wide open the west is if Bron can get back they can do something i think they were 3-0 with him with this new team all blowouts so if they get him back it can be something
AD has coasted Lakers wins more than one with him missing free throws when it matters the biggest against Mavs he failed terribly can't defend him anymore.
how come AD doesn’t produce on a consistent basis?…. is it because he doesn’t try every night?…. or does he need a certain situation and certain opponent to be dominant?…. or is it something else?… because i’m confused about it.
It’s easy to see who Anthony Day-to-Day Davis is. He’s a point guard that suddenly had a growth spurt to 7 feet, which almost guaranteed NBA success and money, but he’s a guy who never truly loved basketball, he just loves everything that comes with it. He realized he can leverage his natural talent to make hundreds of millions, but he doesn’t really love basketball, he’s not obsessed with winning. If your goal is winning championships then you can’t rely on a guy like that.
How are none of these shows talking about sitting AD out against the rockets? How are you gonna sit your star while the other star is out with injury when you are 1-2 games away from having a mid seeding OR being out of the playoffs ENTIRELY. How does that make sense. Should they have won anyway? Yes, should they have risked it? No. AD is gonna get all the rest he wanted if they dont make the playoffs.
10th seed team plays like a 10th seeded team. There’s my analysis guys. Lakers are a 10 seed and they won last night. That would keep them in the 10th spot of the seeding. AD is the 10th best player on the league on a 10th seeded team.
and Nick is the same person who’s all about how a team has been playing of late but he chooses not to mention the fact that the bulls are 7-4 (now 8-4) since they’ve signed Pat Bev but if it was the lakers with a 8-4 record he would shout it out on the mountaintops lmfao
Don't forget that with LeBron out the opponents can LOAD UP on AD and put their best defences onto him, Malik Beasley and D Lo haven't been hitting 3's well enough and all the pressure is on AD to dominate but he's not the main ball carrier. The structure of how teams can double team AD changes a lot with LeBron out, that's why Austin Reaves was so good because he used the opportunity to attack the rim in the 'LeBron role.'
I'm gonna take a guess that AD & the training staff are keeping the extent of his injuries on the lowdown. It looked like he just wasn't able to be as aggressive as he needed to be, maybe he's banged up.
Sad to say this... the way AD has been playing of late you'd think he's a bench player. He's exposing himself for a Robin not a Batman. He ain't got it in him😢
Dame can be your best player. It's just give him a good second Portland should be ashamed what they put around dame. If u give dame a good second and deep team he can take u to promise land
The problem is Lebum is not a good closer himself especially in the free throw line. If you're 2 best players can't close out games then you're in big trouble. They should have Shroder , Reeves or D'Angelo close out games instead.
So the Lakers have been a below .500 team all year even with Lebron & with AD. Even after the trades. But mysteriously all of a sudden they are the team to beat & Championship ready if they can go 5-1 or 6-2 over these next few games & Lebron come back?? What a joke

The mental gymnastics and jokes you have to make to try and make Nick look like he was wrong just shows how incredibly right he was.
Even in New Orleans he was a 1a/1b player that year in the playoff they had Demarcus cousins who at the time was arguably better than AD
I think on offense u could make the case boogie was better but defensively AD was way better
Stop it. Cousins didn’t even play in the playoffs and AD was going crazy.
Yeah but Boogie did play during the year and he was better offensively than AD.
AD proves a terrific secret:
Stats don't correlate to greatness, hard work does.
His stats are meh and so is his effort
So Wenyen Gabriel is equivalent to v greatness by that logic lol
@@thewiseone5879 Strange conclusion, but please yourself.
Right now, I'd take a prime Rodman over a prime AD. And their stats differ profoundly.

Austin Reaves is all will and heart, it’s easy to see why LeBron loves him…and Kobe would have absolutely loved him too. AD, not so much.
AD is exactly how Skip described him, as Always Disappointing. Nothing more, nothing less

If Anthony David is on the players pyramid…. There’s a serious problem with super star talent in the NBA today…
Bulls have won 3 in row, beating t wolves, heat, and Philly. I don’t think those will be easy games for the lakers.
