    No excuses.
    Better turn back into BEASTman for games three and four.

    We simply won’t win without him playing well.

    I expect a much better game three from him.

    AD doesn't like to play physical on a regular basis and Draymond defense is all about being physical with AD , go under his legs , push him ect .

    A Laker needs to go under Draymond skin and makes him lose his mind haha

    Was clear he was locked and loaded tonight from the block on Steph and the quick move on offense where he spun baseline and scored even though they called him for the travel. That was proof of life for how he was approaching the game tonight.



    Great intensity on both sides of the floor. Dominated defensively again.

    Ice those ribs.

    Can you do it again AD, do we really have to alternate good and bad games? Find the energy in G4, and they are done.

    Hope he’s alright, we’re going nowhere without him. His defense is our season, we go as it goes.

    When was that rib injury? Feel like the announcers were saying it came earlier in the first half, but then when they showed the replay I didn’t recall that play. So did he reaggravate it later in the second half towards the tail end of his playing time?

    If it really did happen in the first half, I’m not too worried because he continued to dominate. Of course it will probably hurt as the adrenaline wears off, but I’m hopeful it’s not going to be too big a deal.

    Came down on Dray and his ribs landed on Dray's knee. Was seen holding that side throughout the rest of the game during breaks in action.

    Do you recall when specifically the play was where he came down on Draymond?

    Because I feel like I also recall seeing a play in the first half when a Warrior player tried to contest an AD drive and their elbow went into his ribs in mid-air, and saw him show some discomfort after that.

    Turned back into BEASTman.
    Is it too much to ask for him to do it two games in a row?

    Draymond tried to hurt him I believe. I watched that replay and he put both knees up as AD was falling.

    Monster game by AD! He needs to back it up with another big game and stop this up, down, up, down games. Lets see King AD Monday

    The 2023 playoffs may be remembered as the greatest individual defensive run by AD , hopefully it will be the story in June
