It feels dumb to compare him just because they're South American but he totally plays like Manu did when he was younger. By the time GV is 28, I would bet he could be a 6th man of the year candidate on a contending team.

Once the inbounder inbounded the ball, Ryan went with the inbounder and AD was about to go to the inbounder too until he realized that Lillard got freed and that's when he tried to recover. Hope that wasn't too confusing. LOL.

Thank you. Wanted to get that clarified before I started bashing Monty.

That's not dumb at all, he seemed to be very comfortable not looking exclusively to make plays for others. Earlier in the season he was shooting better and oddly before Gordon came back it seems. Before then he had to carry more of the offensive load, so he had to shoot more and look for his own shot more. Dosent that sound perfect for a 6th man?

Good you imagine a bench unit containing the likes of Vasquez, Rivers, and Anderson. I'll take that with a smile on my face. :D

Since the D. Jordan video is making the rounds.... i think this one is better>

I'm assuming it was his twitter. Actively rooting for the Hornets to lose, and because we won last night, he started saying it was heartbreaking, and now we are stuck having to pick from Len, Zeller, and Gobert instead of Porter, Oladipo, and Smart.

Said he couldn't take watching the Hornets win especially after Kings lost.

Also said the Hornets NEED to go 0-3 this week.

It was pathetic.

R u friggin serious???? Wow...n I guess I won't comment too much on that cuz honestly I have no clue who he even is and I've been in bball a very long time so really means nothing actually.

Quailman was right. Lose and people complain. Win an people complain.

i can guarantee you that no one who went to that game is complaining.

I was glad to get to see AD on the court in the closing minutes of a very close game. If he's not in that game, Aldridge gets that rebound and Blazers likely win that game.

I'm ok with "rooting" for the team to lose, because he's right, it will land us a better player.

But he was being a little to dramatic last night. Heartbreaking win, studying film of Len, Zeller, and Gobert instead of Porter, Oladipo, and Smart. Just a little to much.

I agree.

This was an exciting game. AD was swinging at the 3 pointers that the Blazers were shooting at the end of the game. He was not going to give up wide open shots.

He was a bit late but he did give up that 3 to Lillard. He thanked Ryan for relieving him by getting that And 1 afterwards. He was pivotal in contesting that last 3 by Matthews. Thomas ran into a kind of hard screen by Aldridge and Davis saw Matthews heading for that corner and quickly got over there. Made Matthews shoot it faster and higher than he wanted to.
