    Few more numbers to go along with that




    Shooting with supreme confidence right now. No hesitation. He takes it from anyone, I'm expecting it to drop. It's fun to see a shooter hit like this. Melo-lite out there.


    JJ gave him props for his defense too



    My biggest gripes this season are the rebounds and then when we're shorthanded he doesn't always rise to the role we need him to fill. There's been games he'll give us 16, but we really need 24.

    If he can level up defensively, i'm more ok with the lower rebounding numbers.

    Rui’s shooting has been incredible so far this season and was a highlight last year too. I’ve been frustrated with him for his deficiencies on D and rebounding but the bottom line is I think he’s too good to let go at his contract and we won’t get enough back for him in a trade. Probably best to re-up him and try to trade the expirings Gabe and Maxi plus a pick/Knecht. Rui is our best spot up shooter and he’s also got the deadly mid range. Guy is a bucket and we’ll need that.

    Anyone ever watched Rui's vlogs? Makes me want to go to Japan again!

    Do it again Jake, as a starter .... 20+ points & hot shooting. And we will need to see Adou Thiero in the rotation off the bench finally? Who starts for Smart if he's out?

    I’m surprised that JJ hasn’t run more sets to get Rui open looks at the basket.
    Milk the hot hand until the cow runs dry!!!

    yeah, you figure 2nd night of a b2b @milwaukee with giannis is an L. why risk anything? let's keep luka and austin's minutes down, too, if we're getting spanked.

    Rui defensive metrics have been bad this year. Maybe one reason despite not having Smart Lakers defense against Bucks was so good?

    yeah, i give up. in the early going, the lakers and lots of other teams are winning these shorthanded games (we were on the wrong side of that in atlanta).
