And Darvin had him hostage the whole 1st half of the season

See what happens when you play the right roster at the right positions and time?

It’s astounding that everyone but the coaching staff knew he should be starting

Thank you Nunn and second round picks 🙏🏼

He could have hit 40 easily if Ham gave him more minutes. He did this on 31 minutes played. I know there was garbage time, but when inserted in the 4Q if he played the remainder of the game he would have only reached 34 or 35 min.

Hes a bucket-getter and has the size and effort to play good defense. Really it’s all on the coaches to put him in the right positions.

Lebron raised that man

Darvin is an idiot for ever benching this man… especially after he spent a summer training with Lebron.

Those are some efficient numbers.

He was averaging 17mpg at one point. Despite being the 4th highest paid on the roster. Ham is a trash coach. Should not have taken him this long to realize his best rotations. Hes doing it now with multiple players out, don’t give me the injury excuse.

Offensively, Rui reminds me of a LeBron and Kawhi hybrid. Nice stuff!

Rui, AR, and DLo gonna send Bron and AD to the bench lol

See what happens when you play Rui Darvin?

Hoochiemama just needed the consistent role and playin time. Ham sandwich took 50+ games and injuries to finally use him

Also had a game high of +19

He’s playing his best basketball as a laker, and at a super needed time for it.

Turns out the best trade we could make at the deadline was just trading minutes lmao

Incoming 40 minutes for Cam Reddish.

Do you remember how everyone thought the Lakers killed it at last years trade deadline and during the off-season?
That is because this is one hell of a talented team. The offense is showing out right now AND we have great defensive talent, even if some major pieces are injured right now.
16-10. If the Lakers can go 16 and 10 to close out the regular season, they will be primed for a good postseason run.

Lol and y’all wanted to trade him.

Most unbelievable thing is that Darvin Hamas actually played Rui significant minutes.

Ever since Ham put him in the starting lineup, our first halves have been so much better. 2 games with 70 in the first half, phew 😮💨
Ima_hydra__bitch
Conspiracy theory: Rob Lowe told Hamas to not play Rui the first half of the season. This is to keep every team from asking for Rui in trade talks like they were for Reaves. Hamas was also instructed to play Taurean and Cam starter minutes to try and boost their trade value.
Now that the trade deadline has passed, Rui is being unleashed.

When Rui is happy and cooking it’s infectious. The rest of the team seems to feed off of it. I’ve noticed when him or Dlo cook the squad gets more hyped than usual
