    Playing MVP level ball right now. Dwarf Suns had no match.

    If he plays like this and Bron returns to 85%, we repeat. AD playing like the best big in the game in these past two games.

    AD was an absolute monster tonight, he’s carried us the last couple of games. When he’s this dominant I’m not sure anyone can beat us in a 7 game series.

    He was alright today. 42/12/5, 3 steals, 3 blocks, atrocious for 3, but that's OK. Stop giving us heart attacks when you fall and grab your legs, please.

    We need to run more lineups with familiar faces around AD so that they would force feed him like they have been doing the last 2 games. What a beast.

    Phenomenal game from both ends by AD.

    AD is so effective on the blocks. He’s unstoppable there. More post ups and less jumpers please.

    Uh oh, a sleeping giant has awoken. Nobody is going to want to play us as the 7th seed.

    And let's not forget the elite D, even on Booker.

    How many times does he grab a body part each game? Jesus, I lost track of how many panic attacks he causes a game: wrst, shoulder, calf.

    Maybe it's not Lebron's prime the Lakers should be worried about: get as many title as you can as quickly as you can

    i think the frequency with which he racks up steals and blocks goes largely unnoticed because they aren't big numbers (3 is a lot of each, statistically speaking).

    his value against teams that play very small just can't be overstated, as he ruins their whole plan. ask houston.

    This. 6 combined steals/blocks is otherworldly defense. Though I think my favorite part of his D last night was those instances where it looked like he had Booker in a cage out on the wing. That doesn't always show up in the stat sheet, but it basically eliminated all of my (already limited) anxiety about playing these guys in the post-season. They're way too small.

    And yeah, this is why I consider him to be top 3 in the league. He’s the best two way player in the NBA.

    Dominant AD is the most brutalizing force out there. No one has an answer for it. Loved his aggressiveness these past games. He’s ready to defend the title.
