Rui Hachimura.
Only the Rockets but great game either way, Rui and AD in particular were amazing!! 6th seed here we come 🤯🤯
Rockets announcers really good tonight, kept a blowout game entertaining and unbiased the whole way
Rui Hachimura is just an anagram for Wilt Chamberlain.
You know it’s an easy win if Davon Reed gets to play
AD with the quietest 40 piece I’ve seen. Just so dominant!
Rui HacHIMura
We love you Rockets giving us them tacos
We had given up exactly 111 four of the last seven smh
if Rui plays with just the effort he did tonight, he’s going to get mins nightly
i was confused why they had LeBron/AD/Reaves in so late, but they were practicing a new set that i fucking loved
LeBron at the elbow, player in each corner, player on the opposite wing, Reaves passes to LeBron, cuts behind him to the rim, LeBron found him just on that once
if not, Reaves cuts to the rim, then goes and sets a screen for player on the wing, not corner, LeBron got Gabriel a layup like that
if that doesn’t work, he sets the screen, then goes to the ball and gets a hand off from LeBron, the wing player that got the screen goes to set a screen on LeBron’s man with LeBron getting a dunk
so a lot of hand offs, screens, cutting, before going into a spain pnr
i hate when kpj is making threes because he passes even less
REED MASTERCLASS
Rui was so fucking good in the defense
Who will get the 6th seed and avoid the 5th seed???
2 games above 500
this is a dream right?
A win but with an asterisk. We would have lost if Boban started.
Where are all those clowns that said Ham thinking the Lakers can get the 6th seed was a straight up joke?
It felt like Reaves had a sub-par game and he still had 18/8 on hyper-efficient shooting and only 2 TO.
If the Lakers let him walk in the offseason the franchise deserves to be relegated to the G-League.
It took LeBron playing 40 minutes and dropping 48 to beat the Rockets with the old team
He got to go full coast mode tonight
Every game coming up Millhouse!
They called it a revenge tour, and a revenge tour it is. They visited teams that beat them in the last game, and got payback.
Le18Points strikes again
YOU JUST LOST TO THE POST TRADE DEADLINE LAKERS
LeBron looks great athletically. Just needs his rhythm back which always takes a couple of games.
AD dominant as usual.
Rui with lockdown defense. Overall, the Lakers are playing like a top seed. Good chemistry, good ball movement, great defense and shooting. All while playing poised
This is not a team you want to face in the playoffs.
Mf really said Lebron is struggling to score against the Rockets lmao
Rockets gave us our tacos so im praying yall get Wemby
If we win our next 4 games we are actually the 6 seed. Crazy to think about. We survived Westbrook lmao
Lakers got rui for Kendrick Nunn but Pat Riley couldn’t trade him and let him walk for free btw
I just really like Rui’s game man, he reminds me a lot of what Austin did to get in the starting line up, make great decisions with the basketball. He has to be integral going forward, just has to be.
Lakers might actually finish with a winning record! Insane given the 2-10 start
Lakers next two games after the Jazz will be against the Clippers and Suns. Things are about to get messy.
The 4-8 playoff seeds in the west might be the most hotly contested in a loong time. It legit might come down to the last game of the season and tiebreakers before we know who even gets through.
I know the Rockets are at the bottom, but the Lakers look really good, what impressed me more is that LeBron now doesn’t have the ball all the time and is deferring to his guards. Can’t imagine that would’ve happened this season.
This going to sound crazy, but it really shouldn’t be:
A healthy AD is on the same tier as Embiid/Jokic/Giannis. He just takes soooo looong to recover from injury, and always seems to need to work himself back into game shape. But once he does, he has an argument for “best player in the world”.
