AD was tired as shite. You could tell as he was always trailing the action in the 2nd half. Yet he was still efficient as can be and was able to take over at the end of the game to get the team a much needed W. Our boy is definitely taking the next mental step in his basketball maturation this season.

I'm curious to see how AD fits with Boogie when he comes back. If they're winning I'm sure Cousins will buy in, I just worry AD might go back to deferring. The team not falling apart after Boogie's injury has been all about AD and Jrue becoming aggressive. Cousins might have to go out of his way to get out of their way.

That Houston game where he was injured he had 11 assists while taking 12 shots. That's probably more the way he'll need to play when he comes back so we don't lose the growth AD and Jrue have had. 21/12/7 would be a decent stat line for him to have coming back from that injury. Keep the rebounds the same and change a few scores into assists.

Also good practice for the playoffs, the offense is more efficient when they push the pace but in the playoffs sometimes games slow down a lot and being able to execute when you can't outrun everyone down the court becomes more important.
