    That was a hell of a game, aggressive for the 2nd in a row, taking guys to the hoop and not settling for so many jumpers, getting rewarded with free throws for that aggression.

    Makes me wonder whay an Alpha AD would look like :ADGlance:.

    On a more serious note - dude was destroying tonight, great game! He still doesn't seem 100% though.

    Aggressive AD once again dominates and seals the win for us. Love to see it. They have no answer for him.

    Dominant.

    This is top 5 AD.

    I know he has been injured, but even when he was healthy, he was just so inconsistent.

    However, this AD plays like a Max player, and he should do this most nights.

    Let's put a choke hold on this series tomorrow...

    He is obviously playing injured. I started thinking about his last night and came to the conclusion that we will be lucky if he plays for 5 more years. My bet is he has to take a year off sometime. Seems like he will tough it out as long as Lebron is playing but if Lebron retires in 2 to 3 years, I would not be surprised at all if he took that year off and rehabbed his legs then come back and play for a couple more seasons and retire. I don't see him as one of those guys who can play into his late 30's, let alone into his 40's.

    agree; i don't think he'll last his contract with us as a top-notch player (which is part of why he signed long-term, he knows too). luckily, he is a beast now and has already delivered one title.

    i'm hoping a full regular offseason will help him be stronger/better next year.

    a lot of players tail off in their early 30s. people are spoiled by kobe and lebron, but they're exceptions.

    i suppose if AD improves his shooting, he might find different ways to be effective, but a huge part of his value is that he's able to chase guards at his size. that simply can't last forever.

    I'm hoping AD is an exception to that pattern. Some get more durable as they mature into their grown man body. Like Steph did.

    When AD decides to be in attack mode he’s nearly unstoppable.

    I'm actually ok with AD and KCP resting for Sundays game. Game 5 is Wednesday and they could use the rest

    CP3 is hobbled, we are playing at home where our role players do better and this opens up a big chance for Kuz, Wes and Gasol. We should be able to win Sunday with AD and KCP out


    I am sure Morris wants to have a big game now that his brother did well last week

    AD2/Gasol
    Kieff/Kuz
    Bron/Mclemore
    Wes/AC
    Schroder/THT

    Was anyone else WTFing when AD somehow had his shoe pop off in game 3 and then just slipped or shoved his foot back in it without tightening the laces? Like a damn slipper or something.

    Anthony Davis is questionable for Game 4 due to a left knee sprain, according to Frank Vogel.

    Davis added that "there’s no chance that I don’t play tomorrow."
