without Ben, you think we be anywhere with just AD out there? like i said you a hypocrite, crying how soft the league has become but dont want us to nit pick on ad even tho he playing just like the rest of the league majority of the time
Those four blocks in the first quarter really set that defensive tone and intensity for the night. He was so dominant. Hope his back is ok.

That's dominant. Glad we didn't need him and he was able to get his rest in that second half. Hopefully the back isn't going to be a lingering issue.
I don't want to interrupt the lovefest between you and OX, but this is the last game you should want to complain about AD. Man was a 17 minute monster out there.
im not complaining bout 1gm, when the shots arent falling then what? cant we expect some paint brusing his opponents?
I get you, but I don't think AD is wired that way. He grew up playing the point. He's a guard at heart. I do hope he learns someday how much he could feast in the paint, but until then, I'm willing to live with the occasional cold shooting game.
Frankly, no. We can't expect that. I think it's pretty obvious that's not his game. He's a pick n' roll guy, an incredibly skilled finisher with Malone-esque mid-range J aspirations. In addition, he's a monster defender and a shot blocker. But an offensive bruiser he is not and never will be. We just need to accept that.
Bs indeed, I hate media voting. How is media voting even fair for all these stupid awards like mvp, coach of the year, DPOY.... Giannis got DPOY over AD. Nobody ever picks a laker, the hate is constant, whether we’re good or bad that year. Knowing this, giannis will also get mvp or harden. Book it. Change the rules to voting to coaches/GMs/players
29/11/5 with 1 steal 1 block 26/9/3 with 1.5 steals, 2.3 blocks Guess which 2019-20 reg season avg stats are AD? smh... and the operative word in the award is “defensive”. Such a sham.
