    Yeah that’s more like it! Smooth game from AD. We’ve been missing that high percentage offense.

    I wonder what this exchange with Rob was about?

    Rob was just letting him know he was never seriously thinking of trading him.

    I've soured on Will after his episode, but this scene pops in my head every time AD shows back up in a big way after some consecutive timid offensive outings

    *replace drive with play.

    28 points with only 4 misses in 30 minutes is some Antetokounmpo level s***.

    It was savage, without even giving an actual answer. That's all you need to know.

    12 & 12 with good defense overall was enough, but I need him taking more than 5 shots and not letting Looney dominate him in the 3rd Q.

    Enjoy the rest AD.

    I think it's time to put him at the 4 a bit and let him not to have to battle the centers. I think he wears down with these physical types.

    He definitely does but it seems Ham only sees him at the 5. I eould absolutely be in favor of having him at the 4 with Gabriel/Bamba at the 5.

    Still, good game from him. Rebounding, protecting the paint and a easy W. Just hope he can still get us those 40pts nights when we need it

    Bubble level confidence. Huge on the boards, defense was really locked in during the second half and he hit punishing buckets.

    Wow, what a game today. Could have iced it with better FT shooting, but still... great job!

    Sleptwalked the first half... but redeemed himself later ;)
    He needs to be engaged from the jump ball, Ham should draw some plays for him to get him going.

    Dawg!!! Took over when needed as LeBron was hurt. Great game defensively but those 3 final minutes are what will make us make or break as a contender in upcoming years

    He played with tremendous force on both ends. Looked like he did at the beginning of the year.

    His defense ( and Jared one ) in the 2nd half was special
