    He had what?...4 just like that in that game? Great activity and gravity towards the rim with those baseline cuts.





    Working together in the summer paid off



    f*** you Ham

    Those stats alone are reason enough to Can Ham day one of the offseason.

    But Prince was giving us so much as a starter instead. 9 points a game and 43% shooting! In thirty minutes per! Sacrilege!

    I actually like Prince as a 15-18 minute a night guy, not being forced to be the POA defender, but ya know, told to play his actual position.
    It’s not his fault that Ham inexplicably decided TP was Scottie Pippen reincarnated.

    Ugly game for him. Missing layups and dunks. He missed a dunk and hung on the rim causing AD to miss a layup..

    Please no more of him on Jokic as well.

    THe wide open 3 miss in the final 2 minutes was brutal. MPJ hits one on a freak loose ball to tie the game and Rui misses one that came off a good drive by AR.
    Story of the Denver/LAL matchup pretty much.

    I'm underwhelmed by Rui's performances thus far. He's not getting it done. Dlo showed up. AR is at least playing good D. Your turn to do something Rui.

    Awful tonight. Gave him a pass for game one because he was battling Joker. Missed easy ones tonight.

    Ham's decision with him doesn't make sense either. He sits him as punishment in game one for the best player in the league being the best player in the league against him. But in this game where he didn't have it and wasn't guarding Joker every play, Ham stuck with him.

    Hate to say it, but Prince has outplayed him this series.

    Damn I wish he made that pass. Dlo for a corner three? Even AD is pointing that out. That's something Denver executes. Getting it to their best players in a good position.

    Terrible series. He’s not giving us nearly enough. Just bad on both ends.

    The 3rd play is what annoys me. Why hang on the rim? Left a moving target for AD

    Let's see how he does at home: these are shots he normally puts down.

    Rui going up a level at home and MPJ going down on a notch on the road is something I could see happening.

    He's been awful and I'm a huge Rui guy. He needs to play DECENT for us to win...he's been horrible both games.

    I expect that he'll play better at home, but apparently Vando/Wood could be back for Game 3, so I expect Ham will have a shorter leash on him so he's going to feel some pressure to actually play well hopefully.

    Yasuke..Yasuke... "Where forth art thou Yasuke?"

    Rui is shooting 2-10, in his last 7 quarters played. That's not going to get it done young blood. Can't pin that loss on him, but we need more, than what we've gotten, from him so far too.

    He's been bad offensively. But I think if he ran harder that'd solve everything... right?
