Oh Asik sucks! -- have you seen some of the other NBA centers?
Where did I isolate this series? Asik doesn't suck, nor did I say he did. I said he's not as good as he was in the past few years, which is a fact.
AD's on ball defense is still good, but has dropped off. Blocked shots and altered shots are great, but in most cases are coming off his great help defense.
I think some people simply overvalue AD's defense. He's an amazing player, but he's not as good on defense as some like to believe, and there is a real team issue with defense that has perpetuated for 4 years now.
But yeah, it's just some of us using the "eye test". :

The problem isnt 'using an eye test'. The issue is we have people not qualified to evaluate basketball using 'an eye test'.

Davis is very good on defense. He also makes mistakes on defense. He is still easily the best defensive player on the team even with those mistakes.
He is a 3rd year big who literally has no limit to his game on the court. He sticks to guards and bangs in the post on a regular basis. That can be a bit overwhelming for anyone, let alone a 22 yo. To be clear, he's not the only guy who makes mistakes on this team. Oh, and he is also the focal point of the team's offense on any given possesion.
It's truly remarkable how much he does for this team. We are all exceedingly lucky to watch him play every night.
