Jesus, AD is f*cking awesome. When he's "on", he might be the best player in the league. He has a weird tendency to disappear for stretches of games, and that's why he often gets left out of "top 5" conversations, but this playoffs has convinced me that he's easily a top 5 player.

32pts/14 reb on 15-20 shooting. Miami has no answer for him. I didn’t watch much of the game. No interest in this series. i wish they would re-seed teams when playoffs start regardless of conference.

Honestly nobody has an answer for him. He's probably the most unguardable player int he league. You can't go big against him and you definitely can't go small. I think Giannis is probably the only guy that can actually match up with him.

Giannis, and the guy who couldn't play tonight, due to injury.

You might think the Lakers still dominate without the injuries to the Heat's best and third best players, and you might be right, but I think Bam was going to have nights where he was the best player in the series.

It just sucks that the playoffs were THIS good and now we get a Finals product that's THIS bad.

I don't know, Bam certainly would have a better chance than most, but I did not like what I saw in game 1 before he left. Granted, it was a very small sample size, but AD got whatever he wanted. He's still very young though, so maybe in the future he'll be that guy.
