    And showing me the ball all the way up thinking he’s got a chance to posterize me.

    They had nothing to combat his size. He wasn't as strong defensively, but his offense in the 1st and 3rd was crisp. Had what?...12 points in the 1st. Not really sure why we ignored him in the 2nd Q.

    18 & 7
    Only 25 minutes and able to rest that toe.

    I can't really tell but it looks like AD has gotten beefier. Anyone else notice this?

    He's just destroying the opposition. 73% on FG's these past three games. He's a machine.

    I asked in GT about 4-5 games ago if it was just me or if anyone else thought his upper body and shoulders looked bigger. Sound of crickets except for OX. “It was just me.“

    He looks like an actual NBA center right now. He used to be slimmer and would maneuver his way to the rim. Now he's just straight posting up on them and getting the shot he wants.

    I will say, that a couple of times the last few games I noticed other player bouncing off him. Last year, if he got contact it seemed he would crumple. He seems stronger.

    A stronger AD is :Magicwow4:

    He needs to work on his base. So he isn't falling every other play.

    Age 27 though is when the body really hits its prime for muscle building. From 27-32. If you eat right and do a lot of resistance training, you can turn into a machine with the right genetics.

    Let's hope Zion doesn't break him tonight.

    Zion is just a shorter but fatter version of Blake Griffin. Once he loses his athleticism, the guy is done. At least Blake developed himself to be a better passer and shooter. It's crazy how displaced Zion is in terms of who you would draft if you were a GM today. Consensus seems to be Luka and Giannis. Zion has gone out of flavor real quick.

    That team has done in him in no favors: They're playing him like he's Anthony Mason on the 90s Knicks with a slow non shooting C and a non-shooting PG. No spacing what so ever for him. Hes does have a lot of skills: good handle, good passer, and I think his jumper will be solid but for his sake I hope they actually start putting a roster that makes sense for him

    I just don’t want him to “break” AD doing his physical Zion type stuff when they’re matched up. Lebron is probably stronger than him. Maybe.

    Missed a lot of shots he would normally make but man, his impact defensively was huge. 3 blocks, 3 steals... total defensive effort that most elite players would dream of having. I'm loving his new role, honestly. It's less taxing on his body, he's getting others involved, and these fewer minutes per game will certainly help him take less of a beating so he can destroy the opposition in the playoffs.
