He's got 28 and 16 and has been excellent defensively. I'm no AD stan but this ain't on him.


AD > Lebron this whole playoffs!!!!! What games have y’all been watching

LAL playing undisciplined bad news bears ball in the closing minutes. Blahzay offense, flat-footed defense.

Ham is just a horrible coach. I can't believe people were giving him credit for benching Beasley and Troy Brown after everyone and their grandmas can see it from the first game on.

AD is wayyyy better than Lebron at this point.
Lebron Stans being delusional, per usual.

Ham going to challenge that? That’s a foul unlike Jokic’s 4th foul.
AKME got to go

*if Denver hangs on to win this.

This was the game the Nuggets needed. Jokic has been really bad on offense and everyone else has stepped up in a huge way.

Would be surprised to see Ham keep his job. Playing Dlo that many minutes was the most boneheaded decision I've ever seen
