    He needs to play, period.

    Enough with the 19-21 minute games. I wanna see 30-35 minutes from him every night. That's the only way he's gonan show what he's got.

    Probably with the short hook again and reduced minutes now that Numbnuts has a shiny new guard toy to play with. Emphasizing getting Rui back to his best self from his playoff run last year hasn’t been a priority all season on top of the injuries. No wonder he hasn’t looked as good …. let alone shown us an even better game after all his work with Handy over the summer, same as Vando.

    Made it look easy out there. Props to Ham for noticing a mismatch during film session and exploring it early. Fed Rui for 7 of our first 10 points.

    Rui is such a better fit with the starters than Prince. And really Prince is also playing better now that he’s off the bench. We are finally looking right out there with the rotations. I love that Big Game brought that up last night as the reason for our turnaround.

    Dominant first half. Only Laker to really carry the weight of Bron not being there in that first half.



    ... and then it kept rolling for him. New career night. Couldn't be happier for him. Fun to see him that excited over the feat.

    He had one stretch in the 3rd that was some of the better defense I've seen him play in awhile. He was in the right spot for weak side help for AD at the rim and got two stops by contesting the shot. Couple plays later, he's switched onto JC beyond the 3 point line and I thought did a great job of moving his feet to deny him the ball. Jazz gave up and went with another set that didn't involve Clarkson.

    He already did it in the playoffs in the first two games against Memphis then in the 1st two against Denver so I'm not worried about it

    GS he wasn't good and he faded the last two Denver game where he was a non-factor.

    You"re right but he's like the fifth best player on this team , you hold him to pretty high standards , especially when we add the fact his role and minutes have not been consistent
