  1. Wow ad should win defenses of the playoffs player award he's been a monster lately huge respect for him

  2. That reporter's question at the end tho. "Why is this a must win?"

    Uhhhh…….like they'd want to lose on purpose?

  3. Davis was so effective in the middle with the zone defense of the Dubs because of his gentle touch, unlike Sabonis in the Kings series. You can really tell the Dubs were so puzzled as they tried to double team Davis, zone him, 1on1 match but all of these he burnt them all. There was a light at the final minute of the 4th quarter were the Dubs were trying to outrun them if Davis is crashing the boards. That way Lakers can't set their defense. But at the same time this will be an advantage for the lakers as they will counter this one too.

  4. This is the Anthony Davis that the Pelicans had !!! Yall must've forgot !!! I just pray 🙏🙏🙏 he stay healthy 🎉.

  5. AD was amazing offensively & defensively, Warriors couldn't get inside and died by the 3, No one is talking about how well Russell played tonight, Vanderbilt on Steph was a good move, Reaves & Schroder are difference makers.
    & Y’all gotta remember last series AD was guarded by DPOY…Looney is not that
    So in that case AD better dominate this whole series golden st has nobody who can hold him

  6. Chuck was not lying…AD could really be the best player if he wants it

  7. if AD could just do that every game. Lakers would be unbeatable…

  8. Ppl forget AD won a college championship with like 5 blks a game , jus watched some old clips😮
