    Lots of things! Not every thing negative the second you get the chance to because a player gets hurt or we lose a game. Go talk about what we can do to get better. Go look at some draft prospects and see who you like. Go check out Denzel Valentine I posted some highlight videos. Do some things that can be productive to the future of our team instead of bumping useless threads for reactions of people calling someone soft because they had a legit injury or lost a game after a 3 game win streak to a better team especially when at full strength while we are not.

    I would think he's being sarcastic. Maybe not just a guess. I would love to ignore but bumping old threads that are over reactions isn't easy when that's not the crap people want to see.

    I think the thread starter needs to be blamed which is not me. Winning usually dissolves these threads.

    Personally, this sounds like it's more that AD's being "handled" than he's being soft. This sounds like a "we're going to take every single precaution we can with our star player." Better to be carried back for a bruise than to be walking on an ACL tear.

    Now, if you are done puffing your chest (blindly defending what I have blindly accused? Ironic much -- dunce). The post topic is if AD is soft or not. As usual, all the pseudo intellectuals want to have a symmantics pissing party.

    I mean, reread your post --- you "guarantee every injury needed extensive PT." and then attempt to berate me as not having any facts. Here is one fact, certain injuries DO NOT require PT. So your guarantee is rather empty I'm afraid.

    "Just about every player misses games for things like Davis" ...... really -- Then why exactly does this thread exist?
    I somewhat agree with what you are saying about AD not playing through injuries much, but you manage to be so incredibly dislikable that I would prefer to agree with the others. Just thought you ought to know that there's no need spend half of every single post you make insulting everyone else on the board.
    Hey @okcthunder - you guys suck! Our top players are hurt. Some are dead. Some don't even like basketball.And we still kicked y'all's asses!- @TheFakeMonty

    It also might have hurt like hell and scared him and everyone else. Might have been too nervous to chance putting any weight on it for a few minutes until the initial shock wore off.

    Did anyone hear Gentry's response when asked how he felt when AD went down? He basically said he didn't feel any type of way because he was used to it.
    The most overused words on Pelicansreport.com. Wrongly, I might add.

    ELITE - (often used with a plural verb) the choice or best of anything considered collectively, as of a group or class of persons.

    GREAT - notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding

    These words should not be used lightly

    Even he is getting tired of it

    Since some people just love to bump this thread when AD has to miss a game, I figured it was worth looking at today. So, Davis went down again in the second quarter last night which what looked like might be a pretty serious ankle injury. He went back to the locker room to have it checked out. Well, not only did he return to the game after that, he went on to have one of his best performances of the year! Can we stop labeling him soft and just say he may either be more prone to injury or has had some rotten luck?

    Does anyone think AD is kind of soft?

    Sorry, I love AD and think he is a great player, but he leaves games on stuff that Lebron, Kobe, Duncan, and MJ would play through in an important game. We suck w/o him. Everyone starts playing hero ball when he gets hurt which hurts us worse. I just want him to become invincible!!!

    PS he had a concussion..sad...wrong time with our current home stand.

    If you think a blow to the head is something you can or even should just tough it through, bless your heart.

    AD is soft I wish we had Cousins

  22. #247
    He's not soft. He's just not hard and very injury prone. He's not an alpha. We got to find our Batman because we already have Robin. IMO

    He's not soft but injuries seek him out and find hi in some of the strangest situations.

    He's not soft. Just the remnants of kid who grew so much so fast. The dude looks like a baby deer at times on the court at times. Spacial awareness, body control, etc. it's gonna take him time to master the full physical ability he now possesses. Real talk.

    Seriously. Watch him on defense. And then watch him on offense. On offense he can think about his movements gather himself and time his jumps. On defense when things are less certain he is still unsure of himself. Like his body still thinks he's 6'2. Even when he makes spectacular blocks away from the basket he's able to read the situation gather himself and take off. He can't do that in bang bang help defense plays. The reason he seems to keep getting hurt in freak ways is because he doesn't have full control of his body and he's not in control of his body on non scripted plays. Loose balls, etc. The kid is STILL growing into his body.
