  1. IMHO, AD is determined to win 2023 NBA Finals MVP, coz' right now has a big chance, Lakers is having good defensive players AD, Vbilt, Rui, Schroder, AR, etc.. plus other good bench players. King Lebron is motivated to get another Champ trophy ๐Ÿ†…coz' not getting any younger. Pres & GM Rob Pelinka, my hats off to you, you've got good players after trades…nagbunga hirap, at last!!!! Hats ๐Ÿ“ด off!!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿ˜…โค Kudos to DLo, Shroeder, Vbilt, Rui..you're doing ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘‹ ๐Ÿ‘‹ good job! Bravo Amigos! Gogogoooo GOGOGOOOO Lakeshow! LODI Lakers, petmalu at sakalam…ganda sadepen nin u๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿ‘ โค.

  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 ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ he stay healthy ๐ŸŽ‰.

  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.
    & Yโ€™all gotta remember last series AD was guarded by DPOYโ€ฆLooney is not that
    So in that case AD better dominate this whole series golden st has nobody who can hold him

  6. This was a good azz game .. AD please stay healthy . . I love me some Steph, but I want AD to get another ring ..

  7. Ad talent for talent can't be matched in the league but if he manages to continue to play like this for the rest of the playoffs and the Lakers win the chip then he can be stamped as the best player in the NBA

  8. Monster But He Gotta Keep It Goin Cause Really He The Best Player In The PlayOOFFS S8 UP Anything other than winning is ๐Ÿงข
