    Mediocre company.

    Best under similar circumstances in three decades.

    This game showed how far we can go with AD engaged, and vice versa, like we didn't know already.

    No one is beating us when AD has that Mamba scowl.

    Beast man. We need THAT AD against every team...especially the NUGGETS.

    There's no way AD is gonna let Jokic punk him again if we meet them....

    Maybe the secret sauce to AD is playing in a neutral venue. It makes him become wilt.

    AD is a top 3 player when he's on his game. just flat out dominant in every aspect of the game

    if they want any chance at a title, this is how he's going to need to perform in the playoffs

    Outstanding, just phenomenal. Haven’t seen this dominant an AD on both ends in a while, was a blast to watch.

    AMAZING.

    Bubble AD (minus the shooting). If he sustains it in the POs... we are going far.

    Be afraid. A healthy game 7 AD is a whole 'nother thing.

    I'm not sure AD really knows what a playoff Game 7 is, but yeah, he showed Wood for sure. Hopefully, that inspires the youngsters.

    i'll chime in to say two weird things that people won't like:

    1. this looked like a pretty standard AD game when the opposing coach doesn't double on the catch (oops)
    2. we shouldn't play him full quarters. pacers got an easy one near the end of the first because he didn't get back. that's being tired. we ask a lot of him; let's not do it for 12 straight minutes.

    other than that, he showed indy what's up.

    Yeah, we totally wasted a big man spot on Wood.
    I think Ham has been wise on not playing him.

    one of hayes/wood needed to be biyombo. i get that ideally it's wood/biyombo, but hayes/biyombo is still better than hayes/wood.

    lol, i was sad to see my man gorgui retire before ever playing a minute as a laker.

    I think if the Lakers don't make a move at the trade deadline: I think they signed a lot of players who can play and that will allow flexibility on who they can move.
    Wood's minutes came down don't because of Hayes but Rui's return. they have different games but the same position relative to AD/Lebron both play 4 and have a hard time chasing 3's.

    Rui has a very high chance of being moved due to his contract for example

    Yeah, I never was high on Wood, even at the minimum for the reasons he’s shown. Guys who can only put up offensive numbers on bad teams are always fools gold. I understand wanting him as a floor spreading big, but if the three isn’t falling, he becomes useless for this team because of his low skill in just about every other category.
