make him get the ball as far away from the basket as possible, double him, etc. even if it means somebody else gets loose.

and be physical as fuck with him. chip/re-route him on his cuts. have guys throw their butts into his legs when hes standing around. just make it as dirty as possible for him so his mind is never settled.

i could be wrong. but from what i've seen of a.d...if he doesnt get comfortable and catch a rhythm early...it can fuck with his confidence/focus and affect his effort for the rest of the game.

and judging by tonight...i dont think the lakers can win without monstrous a.d. games. even as good as their d is (pause).

i think the warriors hit on something with that zone in the 4th too. i saw a.d. settle for a 3 and deep 2 at the top of the key off that. and missed both.
