    Whether AD is #1 or #2 or #5 its irrelevant, I would rather have him on our team than not.

    i care about him bringing home a ring by demolishing smallball opponents that have given lebron fits in the past and am contextualizing our current struggles in the larger picture of "we're in good shape and this is a bad year".

    i brought up tatum because someone else (foolishly) did. the C Bags sure as hell wish AD hadn't shunned them. they set up their entire team-building philosophy around getting him. they passed on many trades to keep the powder dry for him. but we got him and won a title. and they got to keep tatum and his 60 point game in an overtime win against the 10th place spurs to keep the C Bags in 7th place. oh, if only we could have him.

    this place drives me nuts sometimes, and that is definitely my fault.

    Yep way too early to knock Davis.
    People just want to jump on players coming back from injury: I guess I'm old enough to have been hurt now several times to give these guys a break

    Thats the most active I have seen AD all year. So many rim runs to get early position, pick and pop, pick and roll with AD2. A whole variety of intentional touches tonight. Need more of this.

    On the LFR pod I posted today, they talked about this likely being entirely mental with AD at this point. That it was a matter of trusting his body again, getting over that mental barrier, and if it wasn’t mental, that he shouldn’t play. He said he was 100% and they made sure of that before he returned, so most signs point to mental, tonight was a great sign that he’s ok if can just get past that. Of course he’s still the amazing player we got last season and he has been most of his career, a bad stretch for a superstar is just that, hopefully our backs being against the wall help him continue to get over any more mental hurdles.

    Spectacular game from AD tonight following one of his worst games as a Laker. This one did my heart some good. Really needed this W and this kind of effort from AD. Bringing back that championship swagger.

    his stats looked better. his impact was the same it's been all year: positive. it's sort of like how everyone has complained all year about our pick and roll defense when...we have the league's best defense.

    Not bad for a #3 with no hunger to win more titles

    Ain't that the truth?

    This game definitely made me feel better about AD and the team... I mean, he's a superstar, he needs to carry us right now. He knows what's at stake; play though, play smart, take good shots, be that leader we need right now and good things will happen.

    it's almost like...he doesn't suck and isn't going to need to retire after this season?

    i mean, until our next loss at least.

    Yep. I have been hurt more times than I can count. Just jumping back into it is nearly impossible. And the older you get, the longer it takes.

    Last night was the best game he's had since he's been back. I hope there's no regression from that, cause it should serve as a good springboard for him his mental game and it was against one of the best front courts in the West.

    Hope it's a combo of trusting his body, getting his legs under him, knocking off the rust and realizing the sense of urgency in closing out these final games with some wins.

    They mentioned it last night during the telecast and I'm having a hard time coming up with a list. Who can make that recovery and block?


    Maybe Bam? But he doesn't have the length and reach of AD.
