Despite the shaky finish, great overall performance by the Lakers, who actually resembled contenders. AD stood up to Giannis with 44 pts and 10 rbs (all in the 2nd half). Both Bron and Russ had 11 assists and ZERO TURNOVERS. Lakers won the boards. Lakers looked like … Lakers!

You cannot. Abso-fucking-lutely CAN. NOT. Waste this Anthony Davis season. Him being good enough to make LeBron the second best player on the team was always the hope. Now just give them a chance. Please.

This AD tonite is an MVP candidate. He was the best player on the court even with 2 guys with 6 regular season mvp awards and 5 finals mvps. Go argue with homies. I’m busy celebrating #LakerNation #lakerswin
