I have.

And as explained above, you are still 100% wrong.


At some point self awareness has to kick in, and a bit of maturity. Our exchange has reached a point where it pollutes the thread. This is where self awareness should kick in, out of consideration for others you move on.. That's where maturity should kick in, we don't agree.. and that's okay. I'm fine with you believing whatever it is you believe. The whole you're wrong, you're wrong, bit is childish boss.


Not interested in what you think of my behavior, however you had the same opportunity to move on as me and haven't, which leads to my next point.

Also not interested in your hypocrisy.

And what I saw was Giannis having trouble scoring on Kawhi. Did he have help in covering him sure.. but Kawhi covered him well.


Then you saw wrong. Giannis beat Kawhi several times and what stopped Giannis was the Toronto team walling off the paint



I liked how the clips of Giannis getting by Kawhi were of Giannis missing the layups

Must have got too excited actually seeing the rim for once and not a wall of flesh

Anyway I can't believe AD's 50 didn't have a single three pointer. If the Lakers win the championship with old school big men hammering it inside I'm going to be so happy

I really despise the new basketabll with so many 3 attempts but man, I love how the Lakers play, it's the real showtime.

I'm sick of hearing it's a new NBA.. I'd love to see a smash mouth brand of ball win a chip. Then maybe all the analysts can shut up about playing outside in..

I knew AD was a super star, but I never knew he was this good (on both sides of the ball). It is great to be a Laker fan right now. Instead of the (bleep) and complaining of how we got here or where other teams are, we should just enjoy the moment.

You did not know he was this good?
He had been a target of so many teams.
So lucky he Forced his way here.

There was a reason David Griffin who is considered an elite executive, was trying to keep him, even when he wanted out and knew he could get the Lakers package that LA end up giving. He knew and valued Ingram, Ball and others. He knew what was on the table. Yet, he still first tried very hard to convince AD to stay and team up with Zion. Why? Because David knows that to get a talent like AD is very tough in this league and once he actually had a consistent all-star he would thrive.

AD never had a consistent all-star - half a season of Cousins. Holiday is a good, but not great consistent all-star player. I can not believe the amount of criticism he received. The Pels without him are 6-17 winning far less than they were with him. He at least had them winning 35-40 games, sometimes more and in the playoffs a few times. Without him, they're on pace to win less than 24 games this year.

Anyone knows who the last player was to go for 50 without a three made? Surely it's been a few years!

I knew he was good...but he is amazing especially on defense. And him and LBJ together are like a force multiplier.

Lucky for Lakers.
I think he already set his mind on the franchise far before Bron came to Lakers. Where do you want to be if you are really a franchise player? I do believe, he and Zion would have been a nightmare if Zion becomes as projected. You talk about a team that went to the playoffs with bad luck. Now you add a promising Lebron-like rookie. It would have been something to see both guys on the floor. It would be a real lop city!

The defense is what sets him apart. He is playing like an elite star on BOTH ends. Aside from Giannis, of the top MVP candidates like Luka/Harden, those guys are elite one way players.

Reminds me of his college days... king of blocks.
He is so intimidating in and around the paint.
And offensively, he is hard to stop from the free throw line as he can change direction so quick and so well.

No I did not. I did not watch his every game like you and some other fans so I did not appreciate his entire skill set. I had no idea of the range and ground he covers on D. I also did not realize how effective he was down low on the offensive side of the ball. He is much stronger than he looks. He is an amazing player and to think we got him before he even enters his prime.

I guess we won't be hearing any more "Which duo is better" analysis. AD is outplaying Kawhi and PG by a considerable margin. So is Bron.

AD literally has no weakness aside from durability/health.

He's a rare big man who is elite at protecting the rim and switching onto guards. I don't see guards who try to take advantage of the "mismatch" as there is none.

Offense, with a burgeoning 3 point game, he has the entire floor where he can score. His deft touch at the rim is ridiculous and he is such a great finisher. He should be our #1 scoring option.

This is why I don't see AD as a "#2" or "Robin." He and LBJ are 1A and 1B; with LBJ as 1A b/c he runs the offense.

He wasn’t this good on D before.
