AD just need to get fired up and be more in shape, stop settling for jumpers. Maybe dude is still in honeymoon vacation mode. We need the bubble DPOY/MVP level AD to win
he needs to take his time around the basket. I remember everyone saying how Ayton was getting such easy looks in the playoffs last year, but he finished like he was suppose to.

Magic challenged him to get into the best shape of his life at the end of last season. Well....

Pretty sure he took time off with wedding and honeymoon, I’ll give this whole team the benefit of the doubt.
Out of shape
Too many new faces
Just play 0.500 the first 20 games, we got like all home games early

He got his chip and is soft and happy.
I'm not a fan of his game. Never have been. But he proved me wrong and was instrumental in our last chip. So he gets a pass from me.
I'm rooting for him. And if he disappoints this upcoming playoffs. I'll probably starting doubting him again. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

He shouldn’t shoot another non-buzzer beating 3 this year. When he makes a shot it’s fools gold that makes him want to do it again. He should go down towards the paint and impose his will, or become a good passer out of the post. The (in)consistency of his outside shot isn’t a winning formula for the Lakers. Let the shooters shoot outside and the scorers score inside.

I wonder what AD's trade value is at this point.
Would the Blazers GM consider a Dame for AD swap, or is AD a tier lower?
Don’t know what that does for either team as they’re currently constructed. LA would have two PGs in Dame and Westbrook. McCollum and AD is not enough to be a contender for Portland. Doubt Portland does it because Dame is an iconic player for them. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
AD averages 27.5ppg 12.5 rpg 2.0 bpg 1.0 spg playing hard.
Meanwhile Westbrook averages 11.5 ppg 6.5 apg 35.7% FG and takes multiple plays off on D, while being paid the highest on the team I believe (40M range) and the Lakers fanbase is mad at AD.
The AD that delivered a ring. The AD that tried to play through a significant injury and mess up his playoff numbers (career and that series) in game 6 last year.
When Westbrook becomes consistent, and a 17/8/7 guy who plays D, this team will be a major threat. Until Westbrook decides to play D, we're (bleep). And until Westbrook figures out how to play with these guys, again, it will be tough, It is just how it is with someone like Westbrook.
You all are something. I mean, yeah, maybe ADs value may not be the same as a superstar guard or MVP but right now if you list the problems with this team, AD and Bron are not even close to being it. There is no other talent like AD in the league. Have some appreciation for how fortunate we were that AD and Bron decided to team up. I know some miss the Lonzo Ball, Ingram years. I like rooting for the young guys too. I like the championships more. Without AD, we would still be rooting for ping pong balls falling our way and the next "great" young player.
