[Mike Trudell] AD said he took the same shots as he did in Game 1, but missed them. He played significantly more minutes (44) and took 19 shots (12 makes, 8 FTA’s). Tonight he attempted 11 FGA’s in 33 minutes (only 1 FTA), making 5. Davis ahead of Game 3: “We’ll be better. I’ll be better.”

Too many “I’ll be better” from AD this year, but yea he just bricked a lot of post shots he made last game, He’ll bounce back
Bruh he says this shit every other game 🤦♂️
Glad I missed the game.
And he did bounced back every time he played bad. The man played 44 minutes last game and dominated on both ends. He will be better next game.
Mvp Embiid been playing subpar these playoffs 🤷🏾♂️, I can’t even knock AD he will be better.
it’s the same script bro. can we at least flip the script a bit AD? lol.
I heard that before. It’s tiring man
I’m glad I missed his trash game
Consistently inconsistent
Agree. Didn’t take bad shots. Just didn’t take enough. 9 more shots taken, 10-12 more points. Lakers still lose by 20+.
AD is teetering on being the big man version of Paul George. Obviously AD is next level but this level of inconsistency is insane.
Not true… he went 4-5 at or inside the restricted circle and several more that weren’t shot attempts because he was fouled… he got 2 (!) tonight
AD played soft today
Say the line AD! Say it! 
If you saw the shots he took tonight you’ll realize that he’s right
I get bad games happen but with AD, we can’t afford him to be on and off every other game. Yes he worked his ass off in game 1 and I don’t expect him to do the same every game but he needs to still be impactful on offence. not asking for 30 each night but we know and he knows he can do better.
Let’s make some adjustments, come home for games 3 and 4 and show the warriors how it is playing at the STAPLES CENTRE in the playoffs. They do have a terrible away record but let’s not forget that these guys can still shoot and they have tons of experience. Lakers in 6 ladies and gents!
When AD is on he’s legitimately a top 3 player in the league. And when he’s out there giving half effort my man is like barely a starter.
Can we get a shaman, a priest, or an exorcist to expel that demon that haunts AD in even number games?!?! 😖😫😩
Mr. Rollercoaster. Guaranteed he will bounce back. For G4, I hope Dlo will explode.
Every time you think he might be the best player in the league and on this team, he puts one of these up.
Every 3-5 games it seems.

*I love his talent yet it’s just so weird this day to day effort thing: Just seemed like his intensity level was not up to his (so far) playoff showing & reminded me of various games this season. Oh well, here’s looking forward to a bounce back game 3.
To me it was more his defensive and rebounding struggles that worried me as opposed to his offensive struggles
Yeap. Agreed. His lil jumpers and floaters didnt fall. He will be better. Warriors were the reigning champ. Of course they’re gonna have a good game or two.
To be honest I’d prefer he didn’t wear himself out in a game that realistically was out of our hands anyway. I’ll take the series being tied going into LA regardless.
FACTS…every other game playing with fire!
Odd game Davis
Lol this bitch. Tired of him.
