    i know you're joking, but low rebounds bother me only when the team is getting outrebounded. i don't care who gets them as long as we're getting more.

    Maybe half joking. It's my one complaint about AD. But, it's kind of like dating the most beautiful girl you know and fixating on her one small flaw.

    Probably helped that Christian Wood was getting a lot of hype. AD definitely has a bit MJ Last Dance to him - takes a lot of matchups personally. He really takes it to KAT and we saw last year against guys like Jackson and Bam he seems to take it to another level

    Don't forget when he made Gobert look like the most overhyped "defensive" big in the history of the NBA. For a minute I thought the Jazz rolled out Soumaila Samake to go against AD.

    He's looked great in this Houston series. Ramped up the defensive intensity and his offensive efficiency is near perfect...7-8 from the floor tonight.

    19-10-5. Just like Bron, only had to log 29 minutes.

    Apologies to Shannon Brown's little bro for him shutting you down on that poster attempt.

    Injury excuse to satisfy the NBA for sitting him on a back to back?

    His blocks weren't normal blocks too. You know how sometimes someone has like 3 blocks and you don't even remember the blocks? AD had 5 blocks that were GET THIS GARBAGE OUTTA HERE blocks that each left a short term memory during the game. It's what boxing calls "power punches". AD is the truth. Doesn't even look like he trying out there sometimes.

    the face is great. i mean, the league's best shotblocker is sizing you up for 4 steps...you have to be more creative than that.

    I like that incredulous scowl on his face afterwards, he is just saying "really? who TF you think I am?? Harden???"

    The face was just perfect. Like “Is this guy for real trying to challenge me with that weak @$$ €&!*!”

    He's still got a chance to win DPOY. If he's serious about it, he can absolutely win it. Lakers are #1 in defensive rating despite not playing their best defense. I'd love to see the Kentucky AD that focused himself all on defense and put offense on hold. Lakers can score the ball without him. AD can really change the game defensively.
