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.
