Since he joined the Lakers, the most regular season games AD has played has been 62 and that was the bubble season. Outside of that it has been 36, 40 and 56.

Seems that expecting random injuries isn't counter-intuitive at all. His history shows that it's more likely than not that he will miss significant time.

The injuries are random though and AD has gotten leaner, which should help. Lakers have 2 bigs other bigs that are already getting minutes in game 1. Big difference from last year already.

Everyone misses games. When teams aren't contenders, those stretches of games missed get longer.

They may be random, but they're still injuries and he has missed significant time almost every season of his career because of them. It's great that he's put in the work to help prevent injury and he's even said he intends to play all 82 this year.

But the numbers are the numbers and until he changes them, it's always going to be a concern with him.

Another year, another penalty


Part of me says the aggrieved party should get the pick

It doesn’t help anyone to just make a pick disappear

Kids don’t get to hear their name called

The aggrieved team gets nothing

Another season of loss…

Go Knicks
Get ready to trade everyone on your team (besides Brunson) and picks for Embiid this February because that's happening

His Warriors takes have always been Wiggy-level quality

That said, I don't see this Warriors team being a top 4 seed or a title contender. Unless some things happen that are very unlikely just yet (like Kuminga emerging into a star...he won't get enough minutes for one thing)

Bob Meyers was a horrible addition to the ESPN pregame show.
