    Lived at the stripe tonight... Momentum swinging treys in the third. There isn't anyone that can handle Davis down low maybe that Bucks' star (too lazy to type his name).

    When Vogel went exclusively to him in the third, he certainly shined.

    That AD is why I'm so excited about the rest of this season and our future.

    AD is just so freaking good. 34 points, 16 of 17 from the line. Talk about delivering!! This is the aggressive AD we need to see in order to win a ring. Best player on the court last night.

    It's almost as if Davis is taken for granted. Does it without flair or noise on both ends. You blink and he's got double digits points/rebounds not too mention altering shots here and there. Haven't seen this much cold blooded efficiency since #33.

    The thing that stood out to me more than anything in this game was how smooth and quick AD looked. He had a few quick fakes but overall he attacked without hesitation. This AD makes life much easier for Lebron and Co.

    Well Gasol and Ibaka really did a number on AD tonight.

    Passive AD is terrible. Worst game I’ve ever seen from him. He cannot let himself do this kind of no show again. Shades of Pau last night in a bad way.

    Toronto took him out of the game completely with the hard doubles. There were adjustments that could've been made but weren't.

    Ludabrow will have to get better passing out if doubled. Also he needs to establish position deeper in the paint and when the double comes, someone needs to cut.

    The coaching staff will also have to adjust as any well coached team will exploit this. Also it doesn't help when your guards can't hit to broad side of a barn, which makes it that much easier to pack the paint.

    It's strange that he played PG when young but his vision and decision making off the hard double isn't great. Lakers need to put some practice time into this

    AD is so good that the Space Jam Monstars could steal his talent and he would still have enough left over to start for an NBA team. Good work Mr Brow.
