If AD is such a star “big man” why does he constantly lose to the other star big men? Sabonis, Jokic, and Embid handled him easily. I give it up to him for not missing too many games, and getting us those wins against teams without a big man…but HE HAS TO WIN THESE GAMES TOO! His stats are great this season, but if you’ve actually been watching every game this season he has constantly lost his matchups against other stars. Which we usually end up losing the game too.
What’s the solution? Move him permanently to PF? Sign a McGhee type big man for center? Or just trade him for 2-3 smaller star/role players.
It’s tough to watch.
Sabonis has owned AD every game this season. Trust me, I want AD to win that matchup. He hasn’t once yet. The in season tournament will prove this point. Maybe in a 7 game series we can adjust and win. But these single games against the Kings have been ugly to watch.
