Yimu! AD reminded us what he can do but doesn't do consistently and this is why fans and sports commentators alike are frustrated with him.

He can score 10 points in his next game.

Yeah. His main issues are consistency and doctors appointment.

Pray he doesn't book another doctor appointment soon. grin

Does this mean that Steph's team is shiit or Steph is just a way better shooter than his teammates?

Well, there is a 15 point difference between him and the second scorer on the Team.

The 0 turnovers is what amuses me the most considering how much of the ball he has.

What will you now say about Mike conley

Records are meant to be broken but nobody can beat the first to do or achieve something. You just can't top that - LBJ

Be like this In-Season tournament was tailor made for him and Lakers. Congratulations.

AD though was something else - dominant from start to finish, did he change his dealer or what? lol

This season just got more spicy cheesy

That audio of LeBron telling AD what to do next time he's up against Turner, then AD does exactly it and reaps the reward. That's golden. That's why LeBron has the best IQ in basketball.

It was key anytime he had a one on one with Turner.Run into his chest,take a dribble and shoot.

He had a great game.

Giannis started it and now Portis is doing the same. Knowing he messed up, Giannis goes to the podium after witnessing the Portis spat and in defense of Griffin says players need to show up at the end of the day.

Adrian Griffin needs to draw the line with his players otherwise he would lose all the respect. Also, the GM and owners need to step in but Griffin definitely needs to draw boundaries. All he said was they were poor in rebounding the ball, which is exactly what I said, especially from the top and the numbers don’t lie against the Pacers… before Portis jumps on him

CC: A40. I already know the angu u will take.

Lol. This is only proving my point. These are professional veteran players and will always challenge you if they don't believe you're putting them in position to succeed with your coaching.

Whatever is spilling out is what the players probably discuss among themselves. From the Knicks game to Giannis incident and this.

You're missing a critical point here. This a Championship team. They've won stuff. Griffin is the one with something to prove not them

You have a point but we also have to remember that Lebron wanted Erik Speolstra sacked at some point during his first season in Miami. Pat Riley said no and supported his coach, look how it turned out. There has to be balance to everything and the players have to hold themselves accountable before pointing to the coach.

Well the Bucks do not have a Pat Riley figure now do they? Plus Bron and Spoelstra were on somewhat equal footing. Neither had won anything

For the Bucks case it's different. This is a guy that has won nothing, his first coaching gig trying to tell a team who has won something what to do. You're always going to get a really short rope, especially when what you're telling them is not working. That's just the way it is

Warriors had a chance to move clean off Draymond in the summer. Now that it is clear their dynasty is done, they will waste the remainder of Steph's prime and they will be in purgatory for the foreseeable future. Good luck trying to offload Draymond's contract

This is what I love about lebron. No sentiments, draymond and klay should have been offloaded since last summer. Steph needs to become selfish to give himself another title shot.

Unless the Warriors have made peace with the fact that they're good with 4 rings. That's respectable and such loyalty is rare and should be appreciated by fans. However if they're deceiving themselves that their still contenders then they're fooling themselves and wasting Steph's good years

And also what the hell is wrong with Wiggins?? You have to wonder if it's mental or just garri that found it's level and appreciate the 2022 season for the fluke it was. He's playing remedial basketball right now and has been doing so all season long

I guess the league is waiting until D. Green damages someone’s physical health or ends someone’s career before they mandate him to seek help. This isn’t normal! This man has serious mental health issue and needs to be away from the game. Silver needs to start punishing the Warriors in some way about their player’s repeated offense. I mean, what is the player leadership doing? Does anyone hold Green accountable for this sort of behavior? Every organization has a code of conduct, how are these enforced?

You're working harder that the organisation itself. Don't even bother. I've lost all confidence and hope in the team.

The Warriors enabled Green for long, this issue should have been addressed a long time ago. I just feel bad for Curry. He has stayed healthy but now has to carry dead bags of salt as team mates until he retires.

And the Warriors see young guys play like this every night and think the best thing to do is pamper Klay and Draymond. Ok grin

The warriors franchise were never serious about winning anything

I said this at the start of the season when the best they could do was trade for a weak Chris Paul

I dey one corner dey laugh. Kerr himself is a huge reason for the warriors franchise losses
How can you be loosing 7 games in a row and you are content to keep the so called vets (Draymond and Klay).

Dude has been a walking red flag since 2016 and always made it difficult to defend him especially on this thread.
The league and the Warriors enabled him for way too long. How can you be averaging triple singles, verbally/physically assaulting your teammates and straight up assaulting your opponents?
Worst of it all, he'll be the first kissing Bron's arsse. You can't be that old and have zero introspection.
The players have endured him for way too long. Make he sit for house for 25 games at least.
