  1. how bad do you want the season to start bro..LOL..the material is running real thin huh…

  2. Remember that Jarred NON-SCORER Vanderbilt got demoted to the 2nd Unit before the Western Conference Finals started. His replacement Dennis Schroder shot 2 for 2 at 3-pointers for Game 1 and 3 for 6 at 3-pointers in Game 4.
    38.5% for 3-pointers total for the WCF. Your turn Hachimura.

  3. You should not have paid Hachimura that contract if you are afraid of his defense on the 1st Unit. Use a high-powered offense to put immediate pressure on the Denver Nuggets defense.

  4. Jarred Vanderbilt is too much of a liability to the offense, Denver Nuggets defenders do not guard Vanderbilt. 1 more extra help-defender to double-team or even triple-team Anthony Davis in the paint.

  5. Then Lebron James and Rui Hachimura should not be on the court together during the 4th Quarter for the same reasons to not put him on the 1st Unit.

  6. Not sure how i feel bout rui slimming down. His physicality being 6’8 230lbs was important. Just gotta see if him being more mobile now outweighs his physical presence

  7. I didnt understand why hes slimming down but I see why now this would help bron so he can be the paint more my only question is will he still be able to hold his own on PF and C but I would rather have rui off the bench then start it prove it why in the nuggets game 4 he scored 11 when off the bench he scores 20 points.

  8. If Rui comes off the bench, he needs to be the number one scoring option in the 2nd unit and get plays for him

  9. Biggest Rui Homer out there and I think second unit all day! If he starts he's most likely the fifth option…. tough to justify the contract if he's not getting looks. Let him cook with the second squad and fill in for Bron on off nights. Regardless this year for Rui is going to be special! #Blacksamurai

  10. You are absolutely right… Rui would be more successful coming off the bench. So long as he gets his minutes, he’ll have more opportunities to score playing with the second unit. I hope they run actual plays for Rui, which I think they will because this past year he had to try creating everything himself. If used correctly, Rui can become a star player… seriously!!! Playing on the first unit would probably help his ego, but it would also severely limit his touches. On the second unit Rui could really shine…

  11. Rui would be perfect as the 6th man. Vando changes the Lakers defensive scheme because he can guard smaller guards and PF. He can be instant offense off the bench.

  12. I’d start Vincent, AR, Prince, LeBron & AD. Gives you well rounded guys that can all defend, handle, create, pass & shoot and are playing their natural positions where you start the game with balance of O & D at every position. DLo or Rui as your 6 depending on matchup for instant O. Vando off the bench as your stopper unless he’s really developed his 3 in the off-season
