    BEAST MODE.

    Best game of the year from him as he had to do it on both ends and had to do it without Bron

    He outplayed Giannis as well which was the key to the game.

    Hope he actually rests tomorrow or we don't play him too much...he was laboring out there

    Player of the game, controlled the defensive end in the biggest moments, was aggressive offensively (was calling for and open going to the hoop more than he was passed the ball as well) and his some huge threes. He looked exhausted and played through that leg pain as well, can’t complain when your star puts up an effort like that.

    He's really playing the best ball of his career. Seems much more tough physically this season... for whatever reason. But yeah, he's been absolutely incredible this year.

    It’s almost cry worthy as a Lakers and AD fan to know he’s put in this fantastic of a season and will get stiffed again with another player far less deserving getting DPOY.

    Why would they need Double OT if he was all that? All I see is Beta with inflated numbers in a league with a focus on scoring and limited D. Makes rebound numbers juicy and scoring numbers look silly.

    I bet he wouldn't like how your play looked either if you had a big beast like Giannis banging against you all game with your physical buddy Bron not in the game.

    Just monster numbers


    What makes that even more impressive is AD missed 9 of his first 13 shots while Antetokounmpo made (I believe) 8 of his first 10 shots. AD really caught up... and surpassed.


    Elite defense


    I wish he'd break out the Deke finger wag


    Thanks Bobby!

    In the gametime thread - I was saying that AD just looks gassed and a step slower and to sit him...and then he went and did all of that lol.

    He definitely was but gritted his way through it and just out skilled their bigs.

    Games like that you HAVE to win. Can't have guys play those kind of minutes, give that much effort and energy, irritate an existing injury and then come up short. So hats off to the crew for getting it done.

    He is "questionable". So is LeBron.

    AD out. Do we have another big we can use besides Hayes? We need some who can do center things. Giles looks kind of small.

    HUGE game, came in aggressive, got hit in the eye again and stayed just as aggressive. 15/15 free throws because he was attacking, 35 points, 18 boards, 3 blocks, he was a beast.
