  1. After the trade to the Lakers, Rui has grown into the star that he was sought to be coming into the league in 2019, drawing comparisons to Kawhi Leonard and Harrison Barnes, with some comparisons to Giannis as well.
    But Rui has become The Japanese Freak with the Lakers, and making Japan and the Japanese fans (myself included) proud of the star in the making.

  2. Rui's first half efforts and overall performance went to waste again and the team lost again just because the so-called goat wanted to play hero ball. It's the same for all superstars in all sports who are in their late 30s and early 40s Happened to Brady, Rogers (last few seasons), Pacquiao, (last fight), Nadal (injured), Djokovic (losing last few tournaments), Woods (0 titles last few years). Age catches up. He'll have a hard time replicating his regular season performance. STUPID COACH should make plays revolving Rui inatead of him just waiting in thr corner for a pass that never come 50% of the time. And don't get me started with AD. Should be in thr post imposing his will and talent!

  3. The thing that pisses me off the most that you got Lebron out here jacking up 3s like he’s Steph curry and dlo who can’t guard a parked car in a damn parking lot and taking horrible shots as well and you got Rui and Reaves who’s played the best out any laker all playoff and they both are barely getting enough touch’s when it matters the most especially Hachinura 🙄
    I promise if they would give him the ball more they would win smh

  4. I absolutely love Rui and reaves and I think we are going to look back in years and marvel that they were on the same team together let alone with AD and bron. And I think it’s just going to solidify jokics greatness even more.

    The lakers will be there toughest opponent to the finals and they are going to win handedly

  5. I love seeing rui do well. As a wiz fan and zaga fan I’ve always rooted for him despite hating the lakers. Glad Rui is putting up numbers and getting pt

  6. Coach, I am an avid fan of the Lakers. D'Lo is not playing. Please take him out sooner if his game is off. Rui seems to be a better match up against Denver. Maybe Vando, Rui, Walker, Reeves can help AD and king James more in the early minutes of the games.

  7. Darvin Ham is the Lakers' spy, giving up only 10 total attemps to a guy on 7/7 FG in the first half!

    Rui's 1 enemy is not Denver but Darvin Ham!

  8. Dude was out there balling and then they just went away from him 🤦🏾‍♂️ poor decision

  9. Don't know why Rui isn't starting…Should be Lebron, AD, Rui, Vando, Reeves starting. Lakers in 6! Schroeder coming in 6th.
