    Yup.

    He should have punished the small lineup with non stop dunking.

    Instead he had his fade-way blocked by Cov and then folded like a dollar store blanket.

    The way he was taking fadeaways and outside shots is why todays big can't exploit the small ball lineup like they should. The big men of this era want to chuck 3's and take outside shots instead of punishing guys in the paint when teams go small on them.

    TBH I never expected AD to be so soft he should have taken advantage of the midget lineup of the Rox instead he started doing fade aways and jumpers. WB also somehow managed to beat both Lebron and AD in the boards it was crazy how charmin soft that entire team is.

    I was never sold on AD he had a decent team in NO with Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson (when he was still baller) and they STILL sucked. I guess he is a lot like KaT extremely talented and extremely skilled but avoids contact and is afraid to get down and dirty to get that W. Once Harden laid him out on the ground AD started wilting like a flower under the hot sun, I thought he seemed shorter than Rivers at the end.

    This is also how to deal with the Lakers in the playoff, MDA should play Tyson Chandler at the beginning and tell him to rough up AD with a couple hard fouls to start the game.

    The book is written on AD until he steps up to change it. He’s fools gold that looks pretty in the stats column until you get to win/loss
