    Killing it! He can't let up off the gas until the off- season.

    The boards, blocks, and impact since he's been back is other worldly.

    Most of his points were off put backs and just energy plays. He makes a huge difference to this team.

    So, the fools who flamed me for saying AD was playing like a shell of his self before his injury can cough up those apologies now.
    I told you so.
    This is the AD we have been waiting for.

    I also called out AD for a weird attitude and playing too passive early on this year. He WASN’T playing like championship AD and I’m glad he’s admitting it and playing up to his potential. And yes some folks were using the “hater” rhetoric for many of us who were simply stating the obvious, that AD wasn’t bringing it. He was playing half @$$ed a lot of that early part of the season.

    He always had the skill.

    The problem has been his mind. It's great to see him like this.

    That’s it. We knew he was holding back. Maybe it was to try and accommodate Russ. Maybe it was too much wedding cake. Maybe it was a fear of getting hurt again. Whatever it was it was mental not physical and I’m glad he’s going all out again. This AD and a healthy Lebron can take us a long way this year even with our horrible start.

    i think he realized that having a third highly paid player doesn't mean he gets to rest or is less important to team success than he was before.

    i also think he's learned he plays better a bit lighter. kobe went through that, mid-career, too--tried to bulk up and it just didn't work.

    Really glad he's given up on his dreams to be Steph Curry
