    Yo Rui, where's that been the other 10, 354 minutes in your career.

    If Rui could do this consistently and rebound (basically combining him with Vando), he’d be a star and we wouldn’t have to look for a 3rd option after Lebron leaves.

    If he could grab 8 boards, hit open shots, defend competently, and play with the fire he showed tonight, he wouldn’t be up in trade talks all the time. He has the tools, it’s about give a f***, and he doesn’t too much of the time. If he stays through the deadline I hope he adjusts to the bench role and does the other little stuff, if for nothing else than his next contract.

    Proof right here he can thrive in a bench role.

    Those 7 straight points made all the difference tonight.

    Embrace the role, PLEASE.

    That's what's so f***ing frustrating with him. He CAN do the things necessary to win and to get a huge payday, he just doesn't have the drive to do those things consistently. I'd be less irritated with him if he physically couldn't do them.
