The Rockets are all of four games above .500 and were supposed to be the "Rival" to GS, I had people in here all of last year clamoring that James Harden was literally the best offensive player ever...
Two completely different expectations, not to mention that Harden is NOWHERE near as effective on defense as AD is. And with that said i still never said that James Harden doesn't impact winning......... I just pointed out that his impact isn't what ya'll make it to be (which it isn't).
So if AD doesn't impact winning, And Harden despite having a superior squad is only up four games on him........ then clearly either Harden is being overrated or AD is being underrated.
Interesting enough this was never a take on here, but as soon as it's looking more likely that AD could come to L.A suddenly he doesn't effect winning.
Eh, they're separated by 3 years and 1 draft class. Not far at all

3 years isn't far at all? When one is 22 and the other is 25? Huh?

Except for I’ve been saying Giannis and Embiid were better. This debate isn’t about the Lakers though. You see at the gymnastics you did when Harden was brought up
Everyone can agree that AD to the Lakers to play with lebron would be the best thing for him. This debate is about him not having the necessary dawg in him which he wouldn’t need to have if he’s indeed a laker. You gotta relax slime. No one hates AD

I love AD but at times it does feel like he puts up kinda empty stats. Like he had 30, 20 and 5 in that Lakers game but it didn't feel like it.

Please tell me what necessary "dog" Embiid and Giannis have shown that AD hasn't?? Also the hilarity of a Harden fan using something like that to boost other players
What were the Gymnastics i did? I think Harden is overrated at no time would i ever say he doesn't effect winning tho

AD actually tasted second round P as the best player of the team
TMac didn't until he got charity from Pops and rode the bench for him

You’re blinded by him being a future laker.
Watch the kings game.
Watch the Lakers game.
Watch the clipper game.
Watch the bucks game.
Again. He’s going to put up gaudy stats. He’s that talented. If _____ was doing the same thing AD was, you’d be in here clowning him. Especially on the 14th place team in the conference because NTer you just were 2 weeks ago.
This is all I’m saying about AD

wow so now suddenly you can learn things from watching the game & not just stats
I thought the Pels would be better than they currently are but your sitting here acting like they aren't four games out the playoffs with about 45+ games left
.If he gets criticized for them currently being 4 games back while also missing two starters then so be it. However it's just ****in ridiculous to sit here with a straight face & say Anthony Davis doesn't impact winning, that's not even something you would hear in the barber shop.
Also Giannis has never finished above 44 wins & he's been in the East this whole time while also being relatively healthy, & has been bumped first round two years in a row........ but somehow he has that "dog" & AD doesn't

But Giannis has finally come into form.
You’ll all see, especially @dcallamerican, that 50 piece PayPal

At the end of the day, there is absolutely no excuse AD should be in LAST PLACE in the West with the Talent Poole they have and with Gentry leading the Charge.
Gentry one of the best offensive minds in the game so, if they can't win with him......maybe it's him....
No excuse though, what so ever.
Can't really condemn him for not being 8th spot or better until May but, Westbrook had way worse talent 2 years ago when he won MVP and folks were talking about him in the WORST way.
AD deserves to get bagged on right now..
Way too much talent to be 6 games better than the Suns and 2 games back of the next worse team.
****ers are in last place man.....hell nah

What talent do they have besides AD, Jrue and JuJu?
Elf is hurt, Mirotic is always hurt. Everyone else is either *** or inconsistent. Pels need wings and a PG. Jrue wants to be a 2 so he can focus more on putting the clamps on people.

Missing 2 starters my ***.
The Team as is has a Healthy Jrue/Randle/AD.........................I don't care that Elf and Miro and ET Moore have been hurt..............that big 3 is a Legit 3, the record is shameful.....
**** outta here with "they aren't healthy"
We aren't asking them to be A-1 with the injuries,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but these dudes lose to Everybody...........everybody man.

Hol up, timeout. Giannis just hit 24 and was looked at as a project type of player as the 15th pick. He's way ahead of schedule.

Curious as to where y'all had NO's finishing coming into the year
Just browsed the predictions thread, it's only like a page long like one person had the Pels higher than 5th seed. Everyone else had them 7-8 or out of the playoffs

Put Bron or Harden on the Pels instead of AD and they definitely wouldn’t be as bad as they are rn

I don't care who your surrounding players are, you should not be in last place with AD/Jrue/Randle...................
Frazier can also play.
They don't have the best wings but Wes John, Solo Hill and Darius Miller and Ian Clark with his championship pedigree aren't the worst Wings out there..........NO EXCUSE for them, at all
