Rui need to watch a lot of film this off season on ways he can take his game time the next level. Bro has so much potential and will be key moving forward!
Rui is a great player with so much potential! What I feel needed to change was 100% Darvin Ham. I get them trying to better Ruis skills as a player, but they didn't utilize him very well. Putting him always on the 3-point line but rarely giving him the ball isn't utilizing him. If you look back at Rui's best games when he was balling out, he would get pulled and then he would lose his rhythm. I understand that they need to rotate the players so they can rest, but I felt that Darvin would pull him just when he was getting started. I 100% felt Darvin's coaching style is NOT what the Lakers needed, and at times I felt like he was purposefully trying to make the Lakers lose. (that is just my take on that) I also felt that Darvin had his "favorite" player and did just that, favor him. Rui isn't the sole reason why the Lakers lost; it was a team effort. there were so many unnecessary turnovers, missed shots, and fouls. But if blaming one person for the TEAMS loss helps you sleep at night then there you go! All we can do is hope for the best and pray they come back rested, stronger and united as a team with a better Head Coach. I think the team they have now can win a championship for sure! They don't need any more superstars; we've all seen that played out before with Labron.
2023-2024 was his first time playing almost full season. If he stay healthy, his gonna explode in the next two year. played 177 games with wizards and 76 games with the lakers in 2 years. and has davis and bron as mentors i hope.
Rui needs more defensive awareness. He is a great offensive threat, but he falls asleep on defense. Still want him here, but he needs to improve defensively.
Work on passing this offseason so you can get them dishoffs and passes right back overall he did great the season Denver had his number he couldnt dominate them
He has potential Lakers Fans and Someone will use it right, if yall dont wanna be that team its fine. Yall gonna cry later, cause he goes nuts somewhere else
We lost cuz nuggets are just better they are 13-1 against us for a reason, stop blaming 1 person u should watch the way ham coached the team . 4 guards lineup is terrible cuz the nuggets are just out rebounding them.
I said lots of reasons. I didn't blame one person. I like Rui and I do believe that coaching was the biggest reason we lost this series. Denver is a better team whose coach keeps the team organized and disciplined. That's why there's clutch in the last minutes of games. We blew multiple big leads playing unorganized and undisciplined bball which is always due to bad coaching. 3 guard lineups while being destroyed on the glass. While there's taller players riding the bench. Nuggets are the better team but I believe we could have stole the series
Rui has a point.. new teams usually never win titles.. 99 percent of the nba championships come from teams where their core has been together for years.. rob pelinka has sabotaged the lakers for many years
Some of this casuals lakers fans always wanted someone gone when they played bad. He doesn’t even played that bad in this series he did made some great shots in an elimination.
I’m sorry, he played bad. I don’t think he should be booted tho, he’s still relatively young and hopefully he’s watchin film. Small things he can fix like what spots are advantageous in transition, looking for a man on boxouts, committing to drives instead of round his angles to the rim to be avoid contact n be actobatic, etc. He just doesn’t have the experience yet but hopefully he can get there for us
IF the lakers keep you, plz train harder and improve your shooting Rui. I knew you got potential, u helped the team during regular season and all but U missed a lot of open shots in this series. I mean A LOT of it, even under the rim. Imagine u made them all, the team wouldnt lost. Anyway, good luck and keep work hard for the season to come.
he was averaging 5 shots before game 5 incase you didn't know less to do with being left wide open, more to do with not being in rhythm whenever he did get the ball Lakers focused getting DLO in rhythm and left Rui averaging less shots than TP til the very last game
Trying hard to understand what’s hard about hitting uncontested shots. Mans really needs to get to work in the offseason. He was terrible in the Denver series.
He is the same as when he was in Washington. Zero improvement and so inconsistent. Every once in a while, he will have 20+ points. You ask yourself, why does he not play the same way every game? I am glad Washington got rid of him.
