Having AD back and adding Rui just completely changed this teams identity, in the best ways possible.
Undefeated with Ruiiii đŻđ”
**HAM IS FUCKING INSANE FOR BENCHING WENYEN**
Pros: Rui was a home run of a trade. Exactly what we needed. A few iso buckets, a spot up 3, hustles on defense and gave us a few extra possesions with his offensive boards. A few missed FT’s are the only tiny blemish on his performance. AD changes this defense on its head, as we’ve become used to.
Cons: I feel Wenyen has a place in the rotation and im very dissatisfied Ham pretty much DNP-CD’d him. Also i feel Rui should have closed.
Overall, nice expected win. Boston is a huge game, especially considering the bullshit we pulled the last time we faced them

Rui already off to a solid start
The team tried for like… 2 minutes and went on that 13-0 run late in the 4th. Risky
Rui so nice man, lead the team in +/- too. Now bring on the Celtics.
Our defensive effort in the 4th was beautiful. ADâs BACK, BABY đ„
Welcome Back AD!
Very impressed with Rui
1-0 with Rui playing
RUI LFG!!!!
(12/6) +17 on the game. Black Samurai already doing work for us, love it.
Also Pat Bev (18 Points!) & Schroeder (2 Blocks!) good games.
AD is still AD (21/12)
Bron near trip and insane passes.
Just want to know why did Wenyen not play?
Great W, Happy to have AD back finally & excited to have Rui going forward. letâs go Lakers!
Rui is HIM
Please dont tell me wenyen was pushed out of the rotation for those dumbass three guard lineups
Rui w/ a great showing! Made the shots & grabbed the rebounds we needed. Should be interesting now we balance Wenyen, Bryant and Rui minutes. Hopefully Wenyen can get some minutes
Rui… man had a great first game. Im so hyped rn.
Glad we won but I hope Wenyen isnât getting 0 minutes again in the future
The bron, max, ad, rui, dennis lineup was the best lineup all game and won us the game. No more three guard shit lineups.
My stream died right at ADâs scary fall in the 4th, what happened? He good?
Rui making an immediate impact. You love to see it!
Hope the coaching staff draw up a few ISO plays for him at the top of the key or in the post. That’s where Rui really excels. He’s not just catch and shoot.
Hachimura and AD already making an egregiously noticeable impact on the way we play
This is a playoff team. Thereâs no doubt about it. Now it comes down to how far theyâll go. Rob, ballâs in your court
Rui Studimura
Hachi looked great, AD looked great, the only reason that game was close was the 3 guard lineups. At one point we had Russ, Shroder, Bev, with TBJ at the 4. There is no reason to run those linups out there anymore. Play Wenyen, Play Hachi. Troy should not be at 4 for the rest of the season and we should never see Russ, Shroder, Bev out there together again.
Less Russ, More Wenyen pls
Rui is like an upgraded Stanley
Trade Westbrick and we can have championship aspirations again
Bev/Schroder/Russ on the floor at the same time should be illegal, a felony within the last 5 minutes of the game.
Iâm honestly praying Russ can get flipped for something decent
