Davis makes Lowe's (Grantland) All-Star team

Davis and Cousins are interesting candidates, especially in relation to Drummond’s All-Star case. All three are big men manning the middle for awful defenses, a black mark that could disqualify all of them. But Cousins and Davis offer more diverse portfolios. Both play far larger roles in their teams’ decent-to-very-good offenses. Davis is shooting 53 percent and using a ton of possessions in very different ways, even though he’s still learning the nuances of each of them — pick-and-roll cuts to the rim, shallower rolls where he catches near the foul line and works off the bounce, post-ups, and more. He’s the league’s premier transition big man, he’s a very good foul shooter, and he’s fifth in the entire stinking association in PER.
There is evidence to suggest he’s a positive amid a larger defensive train wreck. Opponents have hit only 45 percent of close shots when Davis is near the ball and the basket, per those data-tracking cameras, an above-average mark. He blocks a higher percentage of opponents’ shots than any player in the league; his arms should count as an extra player. The Pelicans’ rebounding falls apart without Davis on the floor, per NBA.com. Basically: There is scattered evidence suggesting that the Pellies’ awful defense has more to do with Monty Williams’s aggressive schemes, and the limitations of the Brow’s teammates, than with the Brow.

Nice to see some support for AD! Will be very disappointed if he is snubbed. I think he'll get in regardless though.
Dear Pelicans: AD is in, no worries.

Yes let's turn another thread that has nothing to do with Monty into a bash Monty thread. Yay.

Know what else bears repeating? The fact that we have the best young player in the league on our team, a fact that gets overlooked far too often on this board.
So frick you. Keep looking at the negatives. Must suck to have such a shitty outlook on life.

The internet is tough business
If it's such a big deal to you I'll be super nice about Monty for now on

I've noticed this is a trending internet insult nowadays- that if a person on a MB focuses on negatives more than positives regarding an NBA team that he must do the same with his life. I mean he must right?

It's a important topic that you have run into the ground. It does not bear repeating in every thread. You're just mad that you really want him gone but you can't do anything about it... Except talk about it on a message board every chance you get.

I really don't bring Monty up that much. Now Gordon on the other hand...
We aren't very good. Am I not allowed to discuss a coach not performing well on a message board? I'm sorry it offends everyone but that's life
