prime1time wrote:The case for Rui has always been a simple one. To survive in the NBA he needs to make 3's. 27.8% from 3 during February won't get it done. At the same time, the Lakers are a team in disarray. They've completely overhauled their roster during the middle of the year. Guys have no chemistry and are figuring everything out on the fly.

I note you didn't post anything over the last three games when Rui totaled 11-27 from the floor and 1-8 from the 3-point line.

It’s all getting so tiring.

This is why I love this board. You guys scream from the mountaintop that you're not Rui haters, but even the slightest amount of success that Rui has, gets under your skin. Like the dude has a good game solely because he wishes to negatively impact your day. It's always funny to see how smart people perceive the world. You saw my post. Then quickly went to his stats to determine a data set that would cast Rui in a bad light. In between that 3 game stretch, Hachimura had a 5-8 night against Phoenix and was +17. And the two games before that Rui went 7/11 and 10/14 (where he put up 20 and 12 with 3 blocks). Overall after a bad February where he shot 27.8% from 3, something that I pointed out I might add, Hachimura shot 37% from 3 in March.

Any chance he comes back to Washington?
Ticket sales might increase significantly when Rui plays Brandon Clarke.

Youve always been one of the most vocal with your phony ass stats of how bad Rui was .... you never factored in who he played with and who he didnt get to play with . You were silent/complicit on the dog whistles on Rui's intelligence and even now youd be writing how he only got one assist this game as if he played poorly and was a black hole on offense . Scoring 3 levels is at a premium and the Lakers seem to value that more than you and alot of Rui haters do here .
In a big playoff game Rui picked up right where he left off since his last playoff series and even played better.Stats you'll never be able to tarnish.
