Anthony Davis: 'Opinions outside of the locker room are irrelevant to me'
Harrison Faigen: “It doesn’t matter to me. I don’t care what no one thinks,” Anthony Davis says on @SpectrumSN if he cares about proving doubters wrong during these playoffs. “Opinions outside of the locker room… are irrelevant to me.”

If Anthony Davis is really the Lakers’ best player, why did everyone hype this series up as Steph Curry vs. LeBron?

Pondering game 2 adjustments. Do the Warriors try to run the Lakers out of the gym? It worked in the late game comeback, if JP3 is hitting & the dubs can push in transition the Lakers couldn’t stop them. Doesn’t give AD & Lakers size a chance to set up in the paint. #DubNation – 12:58 AM

Final: Lakers 117, Warriors 112 in Game 1.
The Lakers steadily built their lead in the second half up to 14 with 5:56 to play, which was just enough to sustain a big final push from Golden State.

The Warriors gotta find the answer for Anthony Davis, he owned the paint tonight. Kevon Looney finished with 10pts, 23reb, 5ast in 29mins, so not even an inefficient night for him, but he’s just too slow to keep up with AD. #dubnation – 12:49 AM

The Lakers needed one in San Francisco and they got it. I thought playing Anthony Davis the entire second half was the right call. Given the rest disparity, the Lakers were never gonna have a better chance to steal a road game, and they wisely went all-in on this one. – 12:43 AM

Anthony Davis was by far the best player on the floor in Game 1. Lakers did an outstanding job throughout sagging off non-shooters, Dennis Schroder and especially Jarred Vanderbilt constantly locked in chasing Steph Curry. I’d expect more ball screens by Steph moving forward.… – 12:42 AM

Warriors being overly deferential to AD. He’ll block a few shots, but throw some pumpfakes, try to dunk on him. Crash the boards hard. Make him work. He’s just resting on defense – 12:04 AM

More on this storyline
Mike Trudell: Kerr on AD: “I thought AD had a great game. Obviously he dominated; he blocked 4 shots, altered some others. That’s what this team has been doing now for the last few months. They have been one of the best defensive teams in the league for a reason and he’s a huge part of that.” -via Twitter @LakersReporter / May 3, 2023
Harrison Faigen: “The guys getting the ball to me in the right spots… Just being aggressive off the catch, looking to score,” AD says when asked by @mcten what led to his big offensive night on @SpectrumSN. -via Twitter @hmfaigen / May 3, 2023
