    AD was EVERYWHERE tonight on defense. It was one of the most incredible defensive efforts I've seen. Great to see him bounce back with this monstrous game. He needs to do it again on Monday.

    This is why it is so important to come out and just put a team away instead of letting them linger. Low thirty minutes for Lebron and AD should make a big difference on their legs for Monday. Hopefully in AD's case it helps with the mental focus as well. This series is really about the Lakers. We come out with our A game and we win.

    Lakers blowout GSW in Game 3 in LA to take a 2-1 series lead and I have a theory: when - now stick with me here, 'cuz this is brilliant - when AD shows up and plays his a** off, the Lakers win.

    I know, I know: Where TF do I come up with this jit?

    He's basically the key for us winning this series, when he plays like G1/G3 we beat any team in this league.

    amazing considering he only tries every other game. this means in the games in which he's not a loser, he must be like two bill russells or something.

    Great game AD. Now it’s time to do it in back to back playoff games.

    Anthony Davis is 6 wins away from putting the WCF Finals MVP on his mantle. And likely adding the Finals MVP after. AD is the Alpha and Omega to a title. He has to be this enough to win the next three series.

    Great game from AD as expected after last game. That stretch of defensive in the 3rd stopped any run GSW were going to go on.

    Same goes for DLO. When he scores 16 or more we're 5-0. When under... 0-3.

    Impossible to deny the fact that in every other game in these playoffs, he’s been pedestrian on offense.
    He needs to be great for two games in a row for us to defeat the Dubbs.

    That was a nasty shot to his already sore ribs landing in similar area from a fall right on Green’s knee planted upward. If your ribs were killing you imagine the effect playing basketball with the ferocity of upstretched arms that AD has to use on D … and offense. Seems to me like he has done pretty well playing through pain and discomfort all season when at all possible and safe enough to do.

    he needs to work on his ribs in the offseason. There's no excuse for missing time over a sissy fall like that. SMH

    AD is certainly the big story of the playoffs. Whether it is his health, monster games, mysterious disappearances or will he win the championship mvp it all comes down to him. We have the best player in the league with the best supporting cast and the best defense. Just don't see how we don't win it all.

    If game 1 & 3 AD shows up every game, there is no way we lose. We would probably sweep the rest of our games. But game 2 AD is always lurking in the background, so we can't be certain.
