AD MUST play like he's one of the best 75 players of all time

Sure.

Why doesn’t AD approach the game as if he’s currently the best player in the game?

In my opinion, if he did, he would be a top five NBA player this season.

Exactly. And add Randle to that, no? Lol.

And we’d get milesfides back.

So Dwight didn’t even think he was going to play at first, but when his number was called he stepped up huge. Much respect to that. That’s such a winning attitude to have.

Vogel better be playing him a lot more

It’s a he. I think he disliked the LBJ/Klutch backstabbing job on Lonzo, Ingram, Hart, Randle etc so much that he might have left the Lakers colors until LBJ is gone. He even predicted the roster turmoil we’ve seen since.

I do not know how to embed a tweet, but here is a random stat from Jacob Rude:

Since 1996-97, only three players have had a +/- of at least +41 in a half in either the regular season or playoffs:

- Malik Monk (+41) on Tuesday
- LeBron James (+41) vs. ATL, 11/17/19
- Kevin Durant (+43) vs. CHI, 10/29/18
- LeBron James (+41) vs. BOS, 5/19/17

How about Deep? Haven't seen him for a long time. He's one of my favorites here.

He’s a real good dude, a gentleman and a scholar.

Sometimes, good coaching is to find ways to keep certain players on their toes. I’m guessing, but in order for DH to avoid returning to being the entitled diva he used to be, a little help like that from Frank can’t hurt.

Phil did it all the time, the mind games based in actual reality. He found individual ways to motivate each player. Social intelligence and emotional intelligence are under rated talents when it comes to coaching. People only talk Xs and Os. See Monty Williams and Nick Nurses, they’re the next generation team builder coaches that way, I think.

What? We didn't learn our lesson. We gave away our big man advantage last year, and paid for it, by building a freeway down the lane. No way DeAndre Jordan gets the nod over dwight after AD
