Rui Hachimura’s Return has been a Godsend. His energy & activity has made a world of difference for the Lakers. 3 of his Direct Steals last night led immediately to Fastbreak Buckets.

Enters the game 3:39 left in 3Q down 75-82, steal and dunk puts us up 7 5 minutes into the 4Q, leaves the game lakers up 2 3 mins left in 4Q. Game changer

His defense has been impressive. He’s been active and focused.

Ham like to put him in the dog house, he did it last season before the playoffs too. I’m not sure if it is a way to activate his awareness taking into account early in the season Rui didn’t look very focused, but dude is a stud, he and Reaves were great for us last playoffs and I tend to trust players like that even when they are struggling.
I’m not sure how old are most folks here, but Robert Horry was a player that sometimes would turn fans mad in regular season, but he would show up when needed.

Rui has been incredibly impactful in his limited minutes. He really can be a Warriors Iguodala type guy for this team if the team wants to.
I have to believe Rui will gradually get his minutes/touches increased because his contract won’t make sense and he’s too versatile both ways.

Maybe it’s because he missed 4 games with the concussion and they’re trying to ease him back in. But I seriously don’t get how Prince is getting 30MPG and Rui only 18MPG.

I want an all big lineup!!

LBJ has to play point but other guys have to bring the ball up. I know I know – spacing

My boy needs more playing time. More. Playing. Time!
He looks great when he is trying defensively and not just coasting out there. I guess thats the main reason he cant seem to crack Ham’s rotation.

Should be starting

Still criminal how he’s prioritized now on offense. Fuck Ham.
