no question, but here it is:

somehow, his greatness has not managed to make his team all that good, and most of the time has not kept it from being pretty shitty.


the greats (the real greats) dont have 30 win seasons, they just dont. hopefully it never happens again because davis takes the leap, but the fact that it has happened is definitely meaningful

The greats also don't miss 15 games a season. Hopefully he's turned a corner.

I think the AD we saw Wednesday is the guy who just made the leap into "greatness". The team shot 38% in the first half. The team on the floor was not "38% from the field" bad. I wonder how many nights Lebron's early Cavs teams or Melo's early Nuggets teams shot 38% for a half and won? I'm guessing it aint too many. They had a bad night for sure, but that was some bad luck mixed with bad shot selection combining for a big ol bowl of shite stew.

Fix a couple bad defensive rotations, have a few shots not clang off the rim and have a few rebounds go our way and they win that game. All are fixable.

AD's efforts that night would have won a bad game, but that game was other worldly bad for everyone else on the team. No "transcendent" player could overcome what we saw without help. Not one.
