AD is a beast and does not deserve any slander. I hope our role players play like they did in game 4 for game 5 and so on.
He has put this team on his back this year. Biggest joke of a bench compared to other teams since starting Rui.
4th quarter AD in Games 1,2,3. What do you got to say about that?
@@KpR333even game 4 what did he do in the 4th ? Nothing ! Lebron scored 14, Dlo scored 5 how many points AD had in the 4th ?
He got 20 rebounds tho so ? Jokic did as well how’s that a big deal when they let you get every rebound on defense !
@@elmedindjuderija1779 i agree...
The SLANDER IS THE PRICE THAT AD had to pay for teaming up with the most insecured superstar in the NBA with the most delusional fans.
AD has played phenomenal this year. Jokic cant guard him.
Nobody can. Too bad their season is almost over
Can't guard Jokic either so it doesn't matter, + can't stop him from passing. Enjoy Cancun
@@rainofkhandaq6678 on a lakers fanpage eating meat is crazy
@@rainofkhandaq6678Jokic is a height advantage look at him versus Wemby or Embiid he has no advantage
Jokic blows on defense.
We would be up 3-1 right now with the right coach.
100%. Or at least 2-2
If we fire Ham today we can win this series with LBJ as a coach/player
Ham can’t do shit
Its our lack of hustle we have been out rebounded and lost the turn over battle in the 3 losses. In our win we held our own or won those simple Ham is not on the floor not hustling who is.
@@Bobsea25such a stupid statement 😅 ham needs to play a bigger lineup!! Not three guard lineups or taurin at the 3/4! Just that simple.
He chooses who plays, doesn’t matter if the guards are giving 1000 percent but if the other team is bigger, we don’t have a chance!!
A lot of fans really do take AD for granted
Hes a special talent.. Uniquely gifted and highly skilled
Ad’s not taken for granted, he’s purposely devalued by Lebron fans so they could glaze Lebron as the only one carrying the team. AD’s been phenomenal ever since he came to the Lakers and people have just been brainwashed that he’s not. He’s even the clear FMVP in the bubble. True Lakers fans appreciates what he has done for the team.
@@jolli4116 I like LeBron and i dont devalue AD one bit. I know AD is our best player
@@Nostalgia9478 hats off to you.
@@jolli4116Lebron fans support AD it's you Kobe fans who act like Kobe was perfect
@@jolli4116Thanks
The”Reverse Sweep” is Incoming!
Can’t do it without the importance of AD. This is his year! (Go for Finals MVP)
You are tripping bro. Yes AD is playing outstanding but we need both AR and Dlo to start playing well and/or have the bench start stepping up. Without that, no chance Lakers come back to take this series
@@PremiumRaizo Yeah, about time Rui gave us 20 points or so, and take the load off AD, and The King. As you say imperative AR, and DLO, must play good all around. Otherwise, It's over.
Even for the biggest Lakers fan, it won’t happen
AD aka DPOY been beasting all season much respect to him for the heart he showed
Thank you for bringing this up. It’s a shame that ppl only want to tear AD down and never give him credit when he plays well.
They're paying him enough that he should be doing this every night.
How is AD not a DPOY finalist?
I wonder
Curry favor 😢
Best people to ask are the ones going about how the league is rigged to favour the Lakers
Because the NBA voting system is broken. Like the officiating and All-Star weekend.
Gobert and Wemby having more blocks. That's the reason. AD's impact is understated for sure. He does so much more than the stats can track. It's a shame we couldn't make it more relevant
AD is a fking beast, true monstar
He hasn’t gotten the respect he deserves. If you take in consideration both sides of the ball he has been the best player on the court every game this series. Yes including joker who doesn’t play any defense.
What are you talking about ??? First half he’s good , 2nd half not so much ! All 4 games AD has done little in the 2nd half especially in the 4th quoter . Even last night LBJ 14 points in the 4th , Dlo 5 how many points AD had ?
They talking about 23 rebounds like it’s a big deal how ? He had 20 on defensive end , just like Jokic did and that’s NOT A BIG DEAL when everyone else on your team let you get those boards !
@@elmedindjuderija1779 ok so joker doesn’t have to play defense the entire game and he goes through long stretches where he does very little on offense too and in your mind that’s ok but if AD doesnt dominate offensively the entire game he isn’t the best player on the court???? AD impacts the game on defensively more that any player in the NBA and he is still giving you 31 pts a night but he’s not the best player on the court. LBJ DLo and reaves are all defensive liabilities and who saves them all? AD!!!!! Put some respect on his name
@@MrSumnerLearningTube You must've only watched the 1st half of games 1-3...cause AD had no impact in the 2nd half of all 3 games. 😑"Put some respect on his name". 🙄AD soft af...he aint getting any respect. 🤣
@@kaferrat just read my second comment again little fellow and go troll someone else. AD playing crazy every game and if he got the support that joker gets the series would at least be 2-2 if not 3-1. He’s tired in the second half and it’s not a secret because he’s asked to hold up the entire defense and get buckets, and explain to me why it matters if he gets 30 throughout the game, in the beginning, or at the end. Averaging 31 per game for against a team that geared up just for you and are bigger than you is more than impressive. I’ll take 31 pts from AD at any time of the game.✌️✌️✌️
AD has been on beast mode!
The lakers supporting cast also came through
Lakers in 7. Stay safe brother ❤
That game two loss can be placed almost entirely on Darvin Ham.
Salute to our great AD👍🤟👏👏👏🙏🙏
Thank U 🙏🏼 Lakers for not getting swept LFG AD 23 rebounds
Great Game Guys. Let's Go Lakers. Yes.
AD/LeBron are shooting 60.0% in this series, the Others shooting 40.8%, that's why a 3rd star is needed
I dig your optimism... But they gotta win the next game before I can have hope.
I game at a time. L4L 🏆
AD has been amazing
I just feel like he should attack Jokic more, especially when he is in jeopardy of getting sent to the bench early due to foul trouble. Aside from that we need Reaves and DiLo to play aggressive.
AD has been a beast all season! The slow people who are slow to adjust love to hate. Keep killin AD!
LEBRON AND AD STILL CAN WIN. 1 GAME AT A TIME
Agree with you sir 👍🏼
AD has been nothing but amazing this post season and post season
"AD has been nothing but amazing this post season" 🙄🤣This is what happens when you just read stat lines...you make dumb comments like this. 😜
What games have you been watching? 😑AD has basically had no impact in 2nd halves of games 1-3. 😂
Love the positive vibe!
When DLo runs PG he is most effective let Bron rest in the corner them back door cuts he was doing to the basket to is much needed also Wood should of got some minutes
AD has played outstanding all year "BEAST MODE" YES SIR! You are right what more can we ask from him. Playing against the Greek freak and jokic look at AD'S performance just magnificent!!!🏀🏀🏀💜💛💜💛💯🔥🔥👍🤙👏👏💪💪😤
Great job by AD! 👏🏾
Fans want AD to play angry the rest of his career!
AD definitely doing his best in ist round playoffs ❤ against Denver nuggets.game 5 tomorrow so good luck.
If DLO and Reaves can play like they did, we win every time. DLO never has a monster game back to back. He bounces back, but he’s never consistent
We just need good box out/ rebounding that is the key as Denver capitalizes on these mistakes
I think Prince needs to play more he’s been underrated this series imo
Depending on one person to get you 20 plus isn't a good strategy
AD went from "Always Disappointing" to "Always Dominating" LFG Lakers in 7
They can't stop AD on the board
I really hope the Lakers can adjust to Denver's adjustments.
In game 5 we need each single player on our roster to score
It’s all on game 5 we win I believe a comeback to happen we need to stay focused and not get to high on breaking the streak
🔥🔥🔥🔥
As long as the Lakers continue to attack the goal and not turn into a jump shooting team after halftime they can and will get the victory and win the series, never been done before, but there's a first time for everything.
AD has been amazing, LeBron is obviously LeBron but we need our supporting cast to play better like game 4. Dlo needs 15+, Austin needs 15+ and Rui needs to play better. With the right coach, we probably would be up 3-1 right now. We lead the first half but have meltdowns at the third and we lose.
They have to run that pick and roll with AD an Lebron
A Dragon has been going crazy.
The plan needs to be “crash the glass!” In general…. It’s not like we are getting fast break after fast break. Secure the boards
All I ask from this point forward is 110% effort from the players AND coaching staff. Any result from that I can live with
AMEN
Congrats AD keep up the great job
Stats-wise AD is having arguably his best season this year, which I hope he keeps up although I feel there was more hunger during the bubble run from never having won a chip before. I hope he dominates the boards again to limit denver's second chances. The main gripe I have with him is the number of times he always hits the deck on offence with no call/bucket, which leads to 5v4 the other way and the other team scoring (often a 3). Lebron is also often guilty of not running back or not rotating to close out, leaving Rui often to (unfairly) play catch between two opponents. I wish there was a stat counter for points given up cuz you fell down on offense with no call, since it is often the trigger for a momentum swing - helping teams come back from double digits down (i.e. the lakers first 3 games)
All Malone talked about postgame was rebounding. Protect the boards and DEN has no real edge. They’ve only won because we stopped running organized O and haven’t finished possessions by securing the boards. Without 10-15 extra looks, they’ll lose by multiple possessions. And now, JM reaggravated his injury. They better close g5 or it’s going 7.
#LakeShow or no show let’s go we got this
AD is playing hard this year. 💪🏻
If Austin and Dlo show up, I believe they can win
76+1 in season finals game + 1 play in game = 78 games for AD 💪
We need RUI to do more on the boards and in scoring. He should be matching Gordon. It seems his presence on the court doesn’t make much of a difference currently. I’d love to see: AD, Wood, Bron, Reeves, DLo
90 games & they still don’t have the answer & repeat it. 😡 lack of 48 minutes, heart, hustle, make a lay up & they’re gold!
A/d is killing it now … he can’t stop doing so all the role players must step up
When AD jumped he gets rebounds over anyone! He just needs to jump instead of standing flat footed on the floor.
Anthony Davis is an outstanding player 👏🏽
I think game 5 will be different. I expect Denver to come out much stronger, try to put Lakers down early. I would not be surprised to see Denver jump out to a 20-4 lead... Lakers will need to keep their head up and return the favor of making a big comeback win.
Ad has played better than lebron this series and still gets slandered.
AD has been great this season and more so against the nuggets. He and bron need to keep playing how they are but put a little more effort towards D and rebounding. But imo the key to winning these games is for the rest of the cast to step up. AD and Bron get tired towards the end of the 3rd and into the 4th, so we need our young guys to score and defend down the stretch.
AD would be a monster if he doesn't waste too much energy on defense guarding other bigs. Dwight Howard would annoy the heck out of Jokic with is strength and help AD conserve energy for offense.
Love the shirt, i want 1.
IF and thats a big IF, the team competes this hard next game, with the same sense of urgency....let's see what happens.
AD is a dawg we need the others outside of bron and him doing there thing
Really looking for Rui and AR to have big games coming up
I think if AD got another big next to him he could get a DPOY or even potentially an MVP with how impactful he is when he is healthy, enabled by schemes, and is in his demon mode
Whats status on vando ?
IF AD WANTS MVP THIS IS IT!! HE HAS TOO WIN THIS SERIES!!! I HOPE AND PRAY LA WIN THIS BUT AD MUST BE THE NBA MVP IT WILL HELP THE LEAGUE AND HE EARNS IT!!!!💯
It’s so hard getting 23 ( 20) defensive rebounds in todays NBA , let’s give Ad his flowers he’s 7 feet tall , every Laker player lets him get every d rebound but make sure we give him his flowers for doing his JOB haha
He's 6'10
6'10
@@percyhezekiah603 Big difference I said 7 feet I know he’s 6”10 what’s the difference ?
@elmedindjuderija1779 2 inches is the difference. 2 in he's is a lot in basketball people will pay millions of dollars for 2 inches. #NoDiddy
@@percyhezekiah603 2 inches is a lot wtf !!!
AR and DLo shot right around 50% and scored twenty. That will be hard to replicate but in this series we need that for every game. I’m not sure I’m willing to count on that. Not to mention I need Prince to keep playing like he is playing. It would be nice if just one other could get 12 or so points efficiently.
Lebron knows how to spot caliber players. Thats why he has so much trust in him
We still need another superstar
Easier said than done
AD did exactly what he is supposed to do and not being soft. So yea, great game but we need him to play 3 more games with the same heart ❤ and get rebounds. As a matter of fact he needs to always play like the Defensive Player of the Year. There's no stopping Lakers if he plays like that and the bench can add to the lead. LeBron will do LeBron things. So Dlo, Prince, Reeves, Hachimura and Vincent need to play NBA level basketball every game. Hayes is getting better. We also need Vando to play through some things. Let's go!
AD gets slack for being inconsistent and injured. This talk will stop once his play continues to be great regularly, and his availability allows him to play in 70+ games year in and year out. He hasn't played this well since covid/bubble. Great talent, when he's locked in He gives his team hope.
They should have brought in multiple big guys, knowing that they were gonna come up against someone like Jokic
We cannot let you off the hook, Trevor. You are the one who wanted AD to play the 5. I knew he was not big enough to battle someone like Jokic. The reason they won the championship and beat the Nuggets that year was because Dwight frustrated and banged with Jokic
Supporting cast is the reason they win. Let’s be real
Lakers was able to save some energy going on the third and fourth quarter they need to play the same way like they did in game if they want to make this a series save the energy for the third and fourth quarter
AD is a superstar! I think it's time to start getting under Denver's skin, id like to see AD get chippy Joker
The Lakers just need to speed up the pace. They play better when the pace is faster. Rotate players as they need rest, but keep the pace up. Denver likes to slow the game down, especially in the 4th quarter. That allows the Joker to sit back and pick you apart.
LeBron and AD are good for 60 a game we need 50 from our other three starters💜✌💛
AD is the best big man in the game. A+ on Defense & A to A- on Offense. Please tell me which big man has those grades ?
I just thought about this. It’s funny how the nuggets have been getting blown out in each game in the first half and nobody is talking about that. If it was the Lakers and the situation was flipped, that’ll be the headline, “can the lakers win since they get blown out in the 1st half. Are they true contenders”. I see flaws in Denver compared to last year. Just a observation tho
If the lakers were focused they’d be up 3-1 instead of down. But maybe they’ll be first in history to do it.
It's over, no way we beat Denver twice at home with that hostile crowd
If they win game 5 they’ll win in 7
It's definitely possible man. We were up 20pts on them in game 2 in Denver. We just need Dlo and reaves to play well.
I think if we win game 5 there will be a lot of pressure on Denver. May be able to snag 6 at home. 7 will be a cataclysm if it happens
@@PremiumRaizo Yeah & trash Lakers also lost that 20pt lead. 😜🤣
if it is going to 7 trust me half of the arena will be laker fans
they need to continue the momentum going, they need to treat every game like its game 7, reaves dlo needs to score, everyone should help ad and bron, cmon lakers win or lose lets go🔥
Treat every game like its a game 7?! Do they have a choice tho ?! 🤣
@@balazsczirjak8042 yes they have a choice its either they play with eagerness to win or look lost again like every 2nd half's of games 1-3🤷♀️
One bad game by a one key player, or one great game by a Nugget and it's over. I'll believe it when the series is tied. I predicted a gentlemen's sweep before the series. I hope I'm wrong.
AD just close out on Jokic at the three lol
When AD does not play, the effect is far worse than when anyone else is not playing, including Lebron James. He is the lynchpin of this side.
well Ad is a monster
That's F**KIN Rob Pelinka faults !
All we have to do is play well in the second half of each game we everytime we lose it's bc of dumb stuff we did
Could the Lakers' in-season tournament and play-in experience be a factor? This team has performed well in single-elimination or win-and-in situations.
This team is one piece away from winning a championship.
Unfortunately the only thing that win did was make it easier for Jeanie and the fans to welcome Ham and DLo back next season because they "stopped the streak". Meanwhile Nuggets will win by double digits next game in Denver.
Lakers will win by big margin....murray will not play...... marked my word😅😅😅😅😅
Why Lakers front office is so adamant..you need starting Centre along with AD for rim protection and for block party.This teams offense is ok but lack of defencive efforts from our Rui costs us more.If AD moved to PF position and having one Centre help definitely this team is undefeatable.Why the front office is adament..Put Rui to the bench along with TP.
Lakers need to trade Rui, DLo and Reaves for two really good players, that’s the difference in this series the Nuggets role players Porter, Gordon and KCP are much better than them, I would see if they can trade with the Bulls for Deroesan and Caruso
The chances of the Lakers winning the series from the Nuggets are very very very slim and none and slim lives in Denver. Denver is a monster team at home, they are built big to wear you down from the altitude. Its kind of like the Green bay Packers in the Brett Favre and Reggie White era. They were a big and slow power team built to win in the freezing cold in December and January playoffs where size matters in the snow. But if the Lakers can just win the next one in Denver to me that would make this season a lot more of a success. At least AD and Lebron played hard and showed up.
