Nice and simple: If the Lakers are "eliminated in the second round" I pay you $200. If they are not, you pay me $200. Cool?
Done. DM me for Venmo info.
Hey, don't you owe me $200?
Terrible bet Baron *SMH*
Just throwing money away
Lol I guess he wasn't throwing any money away, since he completely welched on this bet. Started coming up with excuses not to pay up (wanted to donate the $200 to charity "anonymously", said he didn't his real name being exposed on Venmo when he's the one who said to use Venmo as payment, etc.) Not a man of his word.
Dude that is some serious weak sauce. Pathetic. _________________ KOBE
AD on his ankle: "Ankle feels fine. I got tonight, tomorrow, before the (next) game to get it (better)” … he added that he rolled it “pretty bad, but not too bad … I’ll be fine."
He really kept us in it. Murray was making the most insane shots of the playoffs, and AD was keeping us in it with his counter punching. Hopefully the ankle is good and he comes back with another dominant performance on both ends. Would love to see more rebounds, but he is guarding 3 point shooters so it is to be expected.
Love seeing him out there with Howard. They really play well together, even he and Kief have good chemistry together as well. He's a really smart player out there it seems.
So far when AD has a good game, he kind of disappears the next game, but hopefully he has another good game and closes game 5 out for the Lakers. _________________
When AD went down, my heart stopped for a second there. This guy has put his balls on the line night after night for our team, and we should remember he is in year one as a Laker. He is carrying us nightly and truly emerging as a battle-tested playoff veteran, who is willing to sacrifice everything to win. He is embodying the Mamba mentality, and he is answering any and all questions about being "soft," "not ready," "unproven," etc. Nothing but respect for what he brings to the table for our team. If we win it all this year, AD is a HUGE reason why.
Does he really have a TS% over 90% in the 4th quarter in the playoffs?
I love that he can knock down his FTs.
This - he's our most reliable guy to ice games at the FT line. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns".
Dude is straight unstoppable, I know Murray got more ooh aah highlights last night but AD was like that too, I’ll forgive him for not crashing the board cause Dwight was owning the paint but next game, complete game please

Why do people say he’s not a guy who can be the #1 guy on a contending team? Third highest PPG plus DPOY level defense. Ridiculous how good he is.
Imagine if the Hornets had paired Chris Paul with AD rather than trading Paul. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
AD is our best scorer. That should be clear by now.
He just isn't there yet in terms of being able to run an offense. I wouldn't mind seeing him be a more versatile creator like Giannis. Remember, AD grew up as a guard and had an insane growth spurt so he can handle the ball. It's that successive coaches/teams from college to the NBA have told him to be a more traditional big man. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals

On the rebounding side of things - Dwight Howard was grabbing rebounds for us like a madman. The Lakers out-rebounded Denver as a team and it was a big factor in the Lakers winning. Yep I'd like to see more rebounds for AD as well, but not everyone can hang back for the offensive boards, we won the second-chance points battle, and we still kept Denver's transition game in check, which tells me everyone executed their roles just fine, including AD.
