Anthony Davis Discussion: Thanks For The Ring AD!!!

in spite of his obvious flaws and lack of physicality, the pros he brings to the game far outweigh any negatives

but if you ever watched Shaq dominate on your team, it's hard not to watch players like Pau or AD get pushed around by smaller players from time to time, and not want to talk crap. it just is what it is.

 

when you watch guys like AD defend jokic, lillard, and jimmy butler all while nailing game winning threes and critical FTs in the postseason, you kinda want talk trash on shaq, too.

 

Holy crap is this a thing being looked at?

by laker haters, yes.

 

It is some stupid hater posted on Twitter.
NBA didn't even know about this

 

The Lakers are a much better team when he's an aggressive first option scorer and when we are giving him multiple touches, looks and setups. Get Davis going and run it through him. Pick and Roll, Pick and Pop, transition, backscreens, postups, he's incredible skilled and I hope he can show us the entire bag. We need it tonight

 

NBA already looked at it after the uproar from Miami fans on social media yesterday. They said it was nothing. Maybe a common foul, definitely not even worth upgrading to a flagrant foul.

The main angle being shown in those articles is very misleading. Almost does look like AD winds up and flails at Crowder’s head. But it’s more of just a light push to Crowder’s chest while scrambling to get up.

 

Amazing defense set the tone for the Lakers. The best part is when they introduced the Finals MVP winner and AD wasn't sour or sulking in the corner. He went straight to LeBron to congratulate him unlike Kyrie Irving. The level of play AD has shown this playoffs, I confidently can say he will end up being the 2nd greatest PF ever.

 

THAT'S ALL FOLKS!!!

 

he was clearly not 100%. still had enough to help anchor an incredible team defensive effort.

after this performance, we may be able to flip for like, 6 draft picks. maybe a couple could be unprotected...not sure if that's asking too much. anyway, we'll worry about snatching up that potential when the time comes.

you know what they say: if there are what could be 6 birds rustling in a bush, strangle the one in your hand. or something like that.

 

Adding AD turned us into a champ in just 1 year. Incredible talent. His name will go up there with other Laker great big men

 

Gave up too much, to be honest...

 

Can't say enough about his defense out there tonight. Anything inside of the 3 point line, he was there to disrupt.

How is this man not DPOY? I demand a revote

Yall want to know the crazy part... he's just now in his prime. And now that he knows just how taxing this journey is on the body, I expect a couple of tweaks for injury prevention and body conservation.

 

So when is he signing his new contract?

 

AD was the MVP of this closeout game. His intensity on defense is what allowed us to put the game away early. Hope to see him dominating in purple and gold for the next decade. Legendary postseason run already. His game-winning three will go down as one of the great moments in Laker history.

 

AD will get his awards. Don't worry. No one knows more than Lebron that the Lakers do not win s*** without AD. His defense in this game was as dominating as I have ever seen. The Heat couldn't do jack s***. He was unbelievable.
