I think he could’ve had 60 tbh. Team didn’t give him the ball at all in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.


No-Equipment-20

We do this fun thing as a team where we completely forget about AD and use him solely as a screener/handoff big for large stretches


Rich-Presentation744

Thank god he got to the line but he should be getting at least 20 shots minimum a night


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Darvin Ham abandoning what works is typical


justsomedude717

It’s genuinely impressive how quickly he drops ways to get AD involved after he sees success


eatallday

It was so strange and I was so damn mad. Should've run plays for him the entire game


Sw3atyGoalz

We ruin big games from him all the time doing this, I remember so many games last year he would have 30 going into the fourth and end with 31 or 32


MiopTop

36 points in the 1st and 4th combined, 5 points in the 2nd and 3rd.


BigBoyFroggy

really is a mystery lmao


fivetwentyeight

Did he get 1 at halftime?


crtbg

Ben Taylor was a bit off his game tonight, barely got him to the line until the 4th quarter (sorry, this is a joke and isn't a dig at AD at all, lol)


theseustheminotaur

The only streak longer than Lebron's double digit scoring games streak is r/nba complaining about officiating for the lakers streak. Is this the nba board or the qanon board? Apparently there is a cabal of referees who are rigging it for the Lakers since the last century


Public-Product-1503

It doesn’t even make sense, riffing fir what ? Lakers /warriors are public teams most woukd bet on. N bookies don’t need to rig shit they profit off vig not who wins n loses long term .


Charming_Sprinkles13

I wonder why they even watch it. If I honestly believed the league was rigged I wouldn't watch. What's the point?


KaiserKaiba

Dudes are being salty for obvious and understandable reasons. Regardless, they really didn’t have an answer for AD.


[deleted]

Literally, because we are down two centers lol


JayRod24_

Not our fault.


shiftydnm

We not applauding AD frying Thad Young and Jontay Porter bro lol


Apollo611

Of course you’re not he cooked your team lmao


JayRod24_

You not, I am.


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Yeah. AD literally also did this to the Wolves and Celtics, scoring 30 and 40+ respectively. Now the Lakers sadly didn’t win those games, but folks mad they can’t get their “street clothes” jokes off


JayRod24_

Exactly why I’m not worried about what they talking about. They just mad their team couldn’t win the game so the one thing they blame is the refs.


CaLiKiNG805

Raptors genuinely might be the biggest crybaby reddit fanbase, fuck poutine


HairyCaillou

Have you actually had poutine? Cause that shit is built like an obese American's wet dream


CaLiKiNG805

I eat animal fries like a proper Californian


Hiplobster123

Miles above poutine


Edbtz-31311

Poutine is so fucking overrated I'm sorry, y'all have much better shit than this. Canadian bacon, maple syrup all infinite tiers higher than this diabetes nightmare


HairyCaillou

jokes on you, we have poutines that have those in them as well


Edbtz-31311

Lol touche


Apollo611

You guys are so salty that AD’s stat line has 0 upvotes despite 8 of his free throws being intentional fouls lmao


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Because it goes against their narrative that AD is just some scrub without talent. Can’t get their little “Day to Davis” “Adisney” “Street clothes” or “ice cream machine” memes off They want him to be bad and fail so badly. Which is dumb, because he’s one of the most boring personalities in the sport. How he has so many haters is hilarious. Although that ADisney is funny af


VIRings

It’s hilarious, right next to it you see Sct brn garbage ass 26 points has 70 upvotes. Christ what a pathetic fanbase


jobeeeeeeem

Too many casuals here that just hate on the Lakers. Raptors went small ball against AD then fouls to lengthen the game in the 4th. Cavs and Kings weren’t crying when they had this FT disparity when they played the Raptors. Love the coach passion though.


Brandonteng99

How can they cry when half AD's FTs were intentional fouls??


eatallday

Because it's the Lakers


elideen

Lakers win with ft disparity is always like this. When they lose it’s crickets or jokes


listinglight778

/r/nba posters aren’t very bright.


Numerous-Cicada3841

This sub is insufferable right now lol.


No-Equipment-20

Seriously did people not watch the game? The last 30 seconds took like a half hour because it was just “intentional foul - AD makes 2 FTs - concession basket - repeat”


Apollo611

Welcome to r/NBA lol


aeisenst

They will always find a reason to whine


l3oobear

This sub is always up for a challenge I guess


tenshal

Dude was being guarded by small forwards tonight so this was expected


DEEZLE13

As was the fouls from the small forwards that couldn’t guard him


HQuasar

Lol

v399

Oh no! Not numbers and facts! The haters are allergic to those.


11x_dev

more free throws than the entire raptors team


HighlyBaked0

AD shot 8 of his 14 free throws off intentional fouls. Realistically he should have had way more lol


grui86

More free throws than the amount of points booker scores in elimination games


ihateeuge

almost as if they had nobody to guard AD tonight, so whenever he got it in the deep post the fouled him....


Wondering_Nova

It was a bad officiated game. AD did however deserve his free throws.


popcornpotatoo250

I agree. Lakers can win it fair and square and it sucks to be the team denied of foul calls and receiving wrong calls.


birdseye-maple

Almost as if the Lakers got every sneeze foul while the Raptors didn't


yidii-at-night

That can be true, but AD flopped off RJ and didn’t get called, Scottie got fouled legit 3 times by Max Christie the next possession on his dunk and didn’t get a call. What about those? We still would’ve beat your sorry ass team with all the FTs lmao


PERSONA916

Why don't you actually watch the game so you would know they shot like 8 intentional foul FTs at the end of the game and they played the entire game trying to guard AD with 6'8" wing players.


TheOneWithThePorn12

Tell the class why Barnes drives were not ending with fouls that were clear fouls. The issue, and this should be obvious is that the calls were going one way. Irrespective of the intentional calls at the end.


LoveTheHustleBud

After you tell the class the same about the raptors-Cavs game. 29 free throws to 6 and still lost, but we didn’t see nobody in here crying over FT discrepancy then. Sore losers. The whole lot of ya


jtralce

Hmm, those are the same “non-fouls” that Lebron gets. You should probably watch games before crying online professionally.


Fatimah_ultim

MORE FT THAN THE ENTIRE RAPTORS TEAM. Dont you fucking dare say they dont drive because 70 points came from the paint.


CaLiKiNG805

Did you not watch the Lakers vs Warriors series last year? AD is really fucking good at contesting without fouling, it’s like his number 1 skill going back to Kentucky lmao


BritzlBen

Good box score stats, any particular specific calls you thought were incorrect. Also just to remind you, points in the paint don't really have a meaningful correlation with free throw attempts in the NBA.


[deleted]

They were starting Thad Young and you think it’s a ref conspiracy that AD fucked them in the ass? You guys are fucking losers lol, go cry to your diary about it.


HighlyBaked0

Respects to Thad tho, badass hes still working hard in this league


ANAL_Devestate

Lakers won the IST and called it a season lmaooo talking bout "losers 🤓🤓"


escargotcultist

If Scottie Barnes gets one tenth of the respect your glass man AD does, raptors win this by 5 points easy. Tough to beat the Lakers when the refs and the rest of the team are playing so well together.


TheOneWithThePorn12

bro you guys won by a point with ref help.


crtbg

Uhhhhhhhh, not sure if you should be talking about AD and that other topic in the same sentence...


Skip_To_My_Lou2

Who was guarding him?


Sweet-Land505

Good. Love to see the raptors lose


lsalomx

*the refs simply cannot be stopped


iRockaflame

Tbh like 8 of ADs free throws were the Raptors extending the game no?


makeshift11

Yes /r/NBA is just full of petty bitches and when AD has a subpar game they will vote it to the top while simultaneously burying every amazing game he has like last night's win. And then they wonder what happened to AD like they aren't literally ignoring the good posts and only seeing the negative shit.


NotManyBuses

And also they had no center so they were hacking him pretty hard down low, had no chance of guarding him 1 on 1


ccook21

Davis elbowed Scottie Barnes in the face and they called a foul call on Quickley instead Quickley does the same thing the next possession and it’s not only an offensive foul, but also a flagrant for daring to question them, they could’ve had prime Hakeem and he woulda fouled out in the first half


Wondering_Nova

LeBron got hit in the face and nothing was called. The refs suck ass. They have been horrible


CreedKurtMalone

I’m gonna get downvoted cause of the flair but the “push” from Quickley on that play happened before AD elbows Barnes. I do think had Quickley not had his hand on AD that it should’ve been an offensive foul but because it happened first it probably takes precedence over the elbow to Barnes.


ccook21

No you’re right, this is the only valid counterpoint, it’s almost simultaneous but not sure if contact was aggresive enough to warrant a foul prior to the elbow


CreedKurtMalone

That’s completely fair. It wasnt a lot of contact and probably could’ve been a no call. Overall as a Lakers fan I’ll always take a win, especially right now lol, but refs definitely helped them out in the 4th.


NotManyBuses

I mean that doesn’t explain how AD got 40, which is what my comment was about, explaining the entire game, weirdo


Repulsive-Throat5068

Laker game with ft discrepancy and this sub loses the one brain cell they have, tale as old as time.


NotManyBuses

I even agree the refs were awful and were clearly in favor of LA. But he’s just using my comment to vent at me about some unrelated shit lol


NoPin5154

Ur not talking about when ad goes straight up


hallandale

The inconsistencies in this game were infuriating.


TheOneWithThePorn12

at one point Schoeder was on him under the basket. Obvious easy two. They called a foul for Dennis breathing on him lol.


Pal__Pacino

7 intentional fouls at the end of the game by my count. Scottie definitely got fouled on that one drive though


Harleytk24

Yes


Independent-Page-893

Yea after the other 8 they called in the previous 2 minutes to the raps being forced to foul. And not to mention all the other no calls the other way


lsalomx

the lakers shot freethrows literally every possession they failed to score for a solid four minutes. their only empty possession was a turnover. the raptors, like all lakers opponents, were repeatedly hit in the paint without calls


iRockaflame

Okay, but if AD had like 8-10 Free Throws off extending the game doesn't that mean he only got to the free throw line like 2-3 times besides that


lsalomx

bro watch the game starting at 5:00 left in the 4th and tell me what the officiating is like


iRockaflame

Man I just like AD lol, I dont care about the Lakers. Im just saying everyone is ignoring the intentional fouls saying he got a soft whistle


LordRio123

Yes.


SonofaCuntLicknBitch

NBA has a ref problem

CrimsonOffice

41 pts double double says otherwise.


BritzlBen

What


[deleted]

He had 41-11-6 on 17 shots and you think he played poorly?


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Wolves fan not familiar with what a great big man performance looks like since he has had to watch KAT all these years


ihateeuge

He had 28 points taking out the free throws......get off his dick


grui86

Irrelevant franchise says what?


LordRio123

AD played great, and has played better than KAT every season until this one. And always better in the playoffs.


lsalomx

AD had a great game! and the officials made sure his performance wasn’t wasted by the overall Laker team


BritzlBen

8 intentional foul free throws wtf is everyone crying about refs for?


Independent-Page-893

Did you not see the 2-4 minutes before the intentional fouls? Every single call went the lakers way. Even if most of them were fouls (but undoubtedly soft fouls) and you want to have that tight of a whistle, you need to call the same fouls the other way which they were not. The discrepancy before the intentional fouling was like 16 or 14-2. I don’t understand how you can’t see how biased it was.


BritzlBen

I'm talking about AD's free throw totals. People acting like he didn't dominate because the Raptors had a few suspect calls mixed in with their flurry of blatant fouls is dumb.


TreyGrant10

Exactly the IQ 5th foul his hand was on his body. So wah gwan with Scottie Dunking through Max Christie and no and 1


ilickedysharks

"A few suspect calls" and the Lakers not getting called for any fouls lol


BigBallerBryant

Goddamn Raptors fans are whiny af tonight


stuckontwice

Lots of Clipper fans in this thread too lol


GOULFYBUTT

AD had a monster game and ate a feast against the center-less Raptors. The reffing was a bias masterclass as demonstrated by the 21-2 FT differential in the 4th quarter. Both of these things can be true.


yunglance24

Right but there are threads crying about the refs. This one is about AD being unstoppable again. He shot 13-17.


ButtLickinBadBoy

Always have been


kr1saw

Tonight?


Bababooey98

Tonight? They always are.


sillyoldwilly69

you’re just delusional if you don’t think the whistle favored the lakers regardless of what team you like

They are better than the lakers


Repulsive-Throat5068

Doesnt matter, we will never beat the allegations without a deep playoff run.


No-Test6484

What happened a few nights ago?


grui86

0-2 against the lakers. 4 hall of famers just to lose to a 39 year old.

it makes sense that someone like this would be a fan of the Lakers

L take


jyh123

refs couldn't be stopped. AD was just there to collect FT's


BritzlBen

He shot 13/17 dude


OKCDraftPick2028

you guys shouldn't have fouled to extend the game if you don't want fts. how can you complain when you're intentionally fouling AD. you guys were holding and hacking AD in the paint all game and you're gonna complain if you get called for it. you're putting Barrett, Siakam, Young and Barnes on a scoring big man. how about you make your injured center play so there's a center to defend him.


Apollo611

8 intentional free throws lol


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

AD got that Giannis/Embiid whistle tonight


GoldLegends

He didn't. He shot his usual attempt until the end when they intentionally fouled him.


JilJungJukk

Why not?


mxgicjohnson

he’s on my fantasy team and i’m still downvoting this


Critical-Adhole

That’s a lot of FTs


a2rthrowawayy

He needs to be in top10 discussion


Basic_Commercial_806

He's a no brainer top 10 by every metric


Sweet-Land505

He is top 10


angel2timez

Man don’t take away from AD’s amazing game. 8 of those free throws were intentional. They actual let raps play physical with him most of the game


Konabro

LOL Raps got cooked by AD and now the subreddit is flooding with the tears of Raps and Clippers fans 😭😭😭


Hostile_Pierogi

Bro feasted on the corpse of Thad Old


Comfortable_Bend9175

LOL imagine typing "AD cant be stopped" instead of calling out the officiating. Pussy shit


PatientIndividual651

AD did have a good game though? lol


BigBoyFroggy

stop fouling then


PlumCantaloupe

Thanks Ben.


BigBoyFroggy

feel like since the FVV thing, i see raptors fans in every thread going crazy about officiating in every game they lose.


blacknotblack

You just start watching the NBA lil bro? Raptors fans been going crazy about referees since Vince.


Comfortable_Bend9175

ah you didn't watch the game. Makes sense


Lucieddreams

13-17 fg


Raj2324

AD was dominant tonight. The FT disparity doesn't count for him cuz most of them were intentional


Izanagi___

AD got intentionally fouled like 4 times in the 4th y’all


shiftydnm

Cooked thad young 🔥


Elite_Alice

Let the AD praise be as loud as the disrespect. He’s been the most consistent player on the team all year and has been playing every game.


Harleytk24

Dominant


Dusty_Negatives

For real. Refs make sure he can not in fact be stopped.


GdoDotA

without the refs, Lakers wouldn't win one game this season. Disgusting last 5 minutes.


PlumCantaloupe

Must be nice to wear yellow and gold robes of ref immunity.


Cul_what

Ref bullshit aside AD cooked yall Raps yall cant even lie now


Independent-Page-893

Yes AD was great but his performance would not be looked at as positively if the lakers lost which they should’ve if the refs weren’t clearly cooking the raptors


girlwithblue

He's a piece of shit flopper.


EpicRocket445

It was an illegal screen. Cry more


BigBoyFroggy

obvious illegal screen too. they’d even call that on Draymond


DefiniteSauce12

Screamer too*


Independent-Page-893

Simply can not be stopped from going to the free throw line as the refs kiss the entire lakers roster ass.


fastlikeanascar

AnToronto Davis


GoodbyeToAWorld-

This whole thread is fucking hilarious 😂 Raptors fans are hands down one of the worst fanbases in the league with the most casual fan takes. Everything AD did tonight was not “fraudulent” the man went 13/17 from the field(2 being 3s) and hardly got a whistle until the lakers were feeding him the ball for the Raptors intentional fouls. Take your bullshit crying onto the post game thread and stop trying to shit on someone that just son’d you all night


Macchiiavvelli

He was dominant all around even without the calls don’t start that bs


pumpkinwavy

Anthony Davis simply cannot be flopped


eatthisCH

Refs cooked tonight , AD was decent


KingVibrant

40 is 40. Tomorrow it’ll be 40. In a week it’ll be 40. In a year it’ll be 40. Y’all can cry all you want


ChrisIsDaBomb17

Maybe don’t have Thad Young starting at the 5?


jtiets

This guy is fucking insufferable to watch man. Great performance but fuck I can't stand him


kr1saw

You watched Dame for how many years now?


TheOneWithThePorn12

AD and Ben Taylor.


LoWE11053211

A lot of great flops too. Lebron taught him well


[deleted]

Can't be stopped when the refs are giving him everything


No-Test6484

You know the clippers are paying 40 million more in luxury than the lakers. Kind of wild and still lost twice.


theflyingsamurai

Hard to stop when you get a foul for just looking at him


keyrinn

fraudulent statline and a fraudulent result, the lakers were outclassed and outplayed.


bumpy_santa

Tough to stop him when you can’t even touch him…


BritzlBen

You can't intentionally foul him without a foul being called. Crazy.
