Didn't he want the Russ trade or no? Seems like I'd always heard that he and LeBron were heavily in favor. |
The last time before tonight they beat Denver was with Russ 😂
So that view from AD and Bron was horribly short sighted for the season but it’s making so much sense for the playoffs. |

Our season might be ended, but I have nothing but respect for AD, played 76 games at a high level on both ends, showed up in the playoffs, battled Jokic to a draw at the least.
I think he will be 2nd team all NBA and 2nd team all defense |

| AD dominated again, and his wrist is bothering him. Still played really hard on both ends, got to the line once tonight despite attacking on just about every attempt, and battling on the glass the whole game. |

| There used to be a time when I was not sure it would be wise to build a future around AD. This season has proven we certainly can. What an absolute beast he's been. Excited to see what he could look like next to another star. |

| AD has been amazing all season and especially in this first round vs Jokic. Just need to find more ways to keep him involved throughout the game. |

Leads all players in the playoffs in both points (30.5) & rebounds (15.8) & minutes (167.8).

Thx for helping keeping this season’s hopes alive big fella.
Btw I hear all this yackity yack at how AD fades during the game (particularly in the 4th). Maybe it has something to do with carrying the offensive load, rebounding load & defensive load (while guarding the supposed MVP) among many other things. He had up & down games in our last postseason run if yall recall and was criticized for it.
It’s a load of 💩 what our management has put this guy thru (ie helped author the Day-to-Davis narrative via bringing minimum level help thru out the years all while forcing dude to deal with all their 5henanigans). Yet dude continues to man up, play out of po5ition & keeps putting us in position to have a fighting chance game in & game out.

The boys came out with energy in game 4 down 3-0. You know damn well, just like Mike Malone said, we aren't giving them the series. The Lakers will bring it Game 5, not the soft giving up (bleep) they pulled in Game 3. |

| Great season by AD. He played hurt, and probably had his best season as a Laker. |

Great Playoff AD!
Wish I could've gone on longer but you did a fantastic job.

| I didn’t see the AD pick and roll much at the end? Was thst because he was hurt and getting hit in the shoulder would have worsened it? |

Yep, hell of a season by AD. That's 2 straight real solid seasons. This one was his best since his first as a Laker. Happy to see it. Wish we had a better situation for them, because their level is legit good enough.
Concerned that AD and Lebron will be playing for team USA this summer. We should not expect another 70+ game, healthy season IMO. |
