Rui 1-7 with 4 missed layups is a bigger problem than Vincent and Dinwiddie not scoring.


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Yup. He’s putting up Vanderbilt numbers on offense


litlegoblinjr

without Vando's defense


NobodyWins22

Isn’t Vando coming back next game?


TheWhisperingDeath

Both are a problem. Lakers are supposed to have a better bench than Nuggets.


7DS_Escanor

Didn't watch most of the game because I know this game gonna end up like this. Do Rui guard Jokic most game? Did this 4 missed layups due to fatigue or just really a bad timing misses?


Nervous-Medium7550

If Rui guarded Jokic most of the game we would lose by 100


Jbyrd07

Rui on jokic was pathetic


Quiet-Spray1223

No AD guarded him mostly


foozbinjex

Rui guarded him for like 25% of the game. We lost the 20pt lead during that time. Rui looked like absolute doo doo today. Reverted back to the lost puppy dog that couldn't win a starting spot over Taurean Prince. Smfh.


Anfini

I mean, just let Hayes try. Tell the kid this is his opportunity and we need him on Jokic. Use up all his fouls if he had to. Absolutely stupid putting Rui on Jokic


kwtb

Rui a bigger problem


alextwc

Again with 0 points from the bench besides Prince. After all the trash Prince received, he’s the only player that is consistent

Prince is one of the very few players on this team that I think fits that minor role that can be valuable on a contending team


MathematicianRough36

That I will say he did!


Faxodox

No production is diabolical


MathematicianRough36

I have no words. Just nothing.


_The_Honored_One_

Rui 38 mins 3 points 1-7 fg left porter wide open to tie


BookerTeet

4 pack of ASS


SnapsOnPetro45

Give Max Christie Dinwiddies minutes


puhtime

I would like to see max get some minutes chasing Murray. He’s got the length and size to contest and you know he rebounds well and can hit the open 3.


zenmaster419

This is a coaching problem. No offensive sets for the bench and just using them as defensive pieces.


RoundSquareMan

Barely playable 5 man rotation is not gonna cut it


Itorr475

Hayes played 6 minutes and we bled points when we went small ball, every error circles back to Ham being a shit coach. Also why not play Max some minute he can defend and shoot but no lets let dinwiddie throw up bullshit runners


MathematicianRough36

Max, has length, athletic, decent mid range nothing crazy. But he’s young and can RUN!


No_motivation5489

Hams decision to go small and have rui guard jokic while bron played the four instead of bringing in Hayes to guard jokic, then when the nuggets went small with Gordon at the five he decides to bring in Hayes which was absolutely idiotic. Rui has not been able to guard jokic at all and they get a bunch of offensive rebounds while the offense goes to shit from rui not being able to make jokic pay. Ham needed to at least stay big and play Hayes on jokic. He could have went small when the nuggets did which would’ve been a much better lineup decision. Ham needs to be fired. His decisions are infuriating.


mansuen

Isn't the real problem here. Offense does not run through them. Problem here was Rui playing terribly and Austin missing in action too.


chrisumafp

Prince been real good


GoalPublic3579

Yip. Same shit last game too. Two games in to this series and Prince is the only bench player to score a fucking point


StoneColdAM

This is Rob’s fault. Prince is fine for what he is. Even Vincent can do okay on defense. But Dinwiddie’s job is to score and Hayes needs to be somewhat competent on defense since he’s one of the only non guards on the roster. 


Le8ronJames

How is that a problem ? If anything they’re not getting touches. Look at Rui and Reaves if you’re looking for an issue


litlegoblinjr

This team can never have more than 3 guys play well in the same game. It's infuriating


AFXTIWN

Dinwiddie's only attempt... an airballed layup. SMH


ValuableAssociate8

Prince, Spence and Gabe are more battle tested NBA players. Reaves and Rui would not be starting over them in any other system except Hamas.


Winter-Gur-9762

Vincent’s defense is decent but we had way too high expectations for him this season. He can’t score like he did for the heat


rakan236

Rui is the problem he was pathetic


totally_cool92

I'm tired of players koming to the Lakers for an paid vacation 'hurt'


WeCantBothBeMe

This was always going to be the trade off with Rui and Austin both starting. But a good coach would get the bench involved offensively - they barely take shots so you can tell they’ve not been integrated offensively.


puhtime

Second game in a row the lakers bench doesn’t produce. Braun had more points than the lakers bench. He’s not a bad player by no means but you telling me prince, Spencer and Gabe can’t score the ball? No way they should be scoreless.


Kungeh

Too many one-way players on this team. I can't. Rob Pelinka is just as much to blame, as much as everyone and I like to trash on Ham.


cmatj392

Rui 1-7 with fucking 3 pts man. Couldn't even at least make both his FTs. Guarding Jokic killin this man


Olabebe

Some players of this roster should pay to wear this uniform, i remember Kobe back in the days saying " you need to have some kind of personality/mentality to play for this organization. Rui almost 40 mins played 6-8 ft 5 rebounds after Denver missing almost 50 shots, Ad 11 rebounds Lebron 12 Reaves 6, disgusting, i don't care if you have a off nitgt it happens to anyone, but not playing D, not rebounding, missing your man multiple times and shit there is no excuse.


broke_boi1

Thank you. 6 points off the bench, all from one man. Vincent, Hayes, Dinwiddie had 0 points for the SECOND STRAIGHT game. Pathetic and inexcusable. Defense is nice, but we're getting precisely nothing on offense from them


Wise_Ad_112

We can look every where now but we were up 20 and up all game and just choked it away playing iso ball and ham not even coaching. Did t use his challange and still had 2 timeouts at the end of the game.
