Nothing is more Anthony Davis than following up a 35⁄10 opening night with this

Collin Murray-Boyles and Scottie Barnes
Scottie is the best defender in the NBA*
*Non-Wemby division
If Scottie were playing in NY, LA or Miami, he would be considered for DPOY. Providing he plays like this, an all NBA team and all defense first team should be there.
Lakers had Caruso, Davis etc. Davis did not get a DPOY and Caruso did not even make all defense.
LA doesn’t get a lot of recognition for awards
Feel like wemby isnt that good in the pick and roll defense
Probably not but the trade off is that Wemby basically erases all paint offense just by existing.
he basically erases lobs that come from pick and rolls
Well that’s not true. He’s an absolute master and waiting to the last minute to bait the ball handler while covering the lob threat.
Ausar
Jak did a good job on him as well.
Raptors are a defensive force
Kawhi
CMB
Scottie
Ja’Kobe
Poeltl and his healthier back
Tiny ass Shead
Allan Graves on the come up.
Don’t fuck with us.
😂😂😂 u ain’t lying tho
Really great defence from Ja’Kobe
I feel a lot better now about our game lmao
You shouldn’t, I was at the game and they looked like total shit.
Good thing they didn’t today
who was guarding him?
Collin Murray-Boyles AKA future first team all-defense member
CMB for a lot of it. Poeltl and Scottie for other parts
CMB jail. Draymond 2.0
the dpoy
CMB mainly
Raptors D a little better than Milwaukees I think
Toronto’s defense is suffocating
AD also isn’t who some people still think he is.
He’s not the top 10 player he used to be in LA. Everyone clowned his injuries but his actual on court play has noticeably declined over the past few years
This is biased he had 30 last game
It’s hilarious how dumb this comment is. Using a single game sample is what’s biased
How downward trend has been very noticeable both statistically and by just watching him
1 game is hundreds of possesions
He’s also almost 34. At that age a decline is expected
I disagree, I thought he was getting back to form every year after the post-bubble injury. Even during the mavs stint, he was great when he was playing
He literally wasn’t. When he was on the court for the Mavs he stunk relative to expectations
As a raptors fan I can’t recall watching a game where AD ever looked like a top 10 player against him. Feels like we’ve always shut him down, from Siakam to Scottie
CMB + Scottie denied the entry to him all game, made him a ghost
Also after a while he just gave up with no intensity.
‘Nothing is more Anthony Davis than following up a 35⁄10 opening night with this’
Not true, he didn’t get injured.
AD is already in playoff form lmao
Of all people why is a Lakers fan clowning AD?
in fairness to AD, this raptors defence is legit. Still, he’s a star, gotta perform better for DC
glad it ended up only by 10 i guess but geez AD
AD is inconsistent on offense since he doesnt have a consistent jumper or best shot creation in the half court. Better as a player finisher
He HAD a consistent jumper
Playing a center next to him is a terrible idea
Yeah it only won the lakers one championship
Yes and he hasnt shot like that since. That was 6 years ago
That’s the AD experience, amazing player. But he’ll have these games more than you’d want
This might be the first time I’ve seen him play like this against the raps.
On the lakers he absolutely pushed our shit in.
Toronto has a history of shutting AD down
This the guy who wanted a max extension from the Wizards? lol
Raptors defense played amazing ball denial on him. Almost every attempted entry pass resulted to a turnover.
Scottie and CMB had this man in hell
Did somebody spike all the Gatorade in the drink of the stars this week or something
MVP…MVP…MV…M…….
Pay him.
WASHED GOAT
Think this is more on how great the raptors are on defense than an indictment on AD
Don’t miss him at all
Not one bit
When Trae wasn’t on the court he either didn’t get any touches or did nothing with them. I think having another threat of AJ will be significant for lessening the pressure but AD has to take over in the non Trae minutes (like the bucks game)
CMB, Scottie and Jak all did an incredible job on him!!! LFG Raps!!! 2-0!
its fucking DISGUSTING watching him try and shoot a 3 then getting clamped by CMB. you got easily 4 inches and 50 pounds on him, post the fuck up you loser
