Rui Hachimura in a loss to the Suns: 0 points, 1 rebound, 0 assists in 23 minutes
Good cardio night for Rui, who came dangerously close to putting up a Tony Snell statline.

Did he even get the ball to shoot lol
First 3 quarters no. Luka was busy shooting. 4th quarter, again no. Lebron was busy trying to get 10 points
Did Rui even play in the fourth?
Yes during the time period with Lebron
Yea but just 2 minutes
Suns’ gameplan was talked about heavily on the broadcast as being “let Doncic be the only scoring threat,” and it worked perfectly.
that has consistently been the blueprint to beating Luka led teams. Boston did it in the finals. OKC lost to Dallas in the playoffs that year specifically because they tried to stop Luka and instead spawned MJ Washington. Luka doesn’t do enough outside of the minutes he has the ball in his hands to propel a team to win on his own.
OKC flairs proving once again that they don’t watch games.
Boston did not beat the Mavs in that way, the Mavs loss is mostly on Kyrie for becoming an absolute mental midget against the Celtics every time and nearly the entire team being made up of sub optimal 3 point shooters who got hot all playoffs then went cold.
The T-Wolves let “Luka beat them” in the WCF and it just ended with Luka and Kyrie taking turns scoring as neither was being doubled much.
Blaming the loss on Kyrie and not the entire team not buying a bucket is hilarious
Exactly lmao
I’m honestly hoping LeBron drops that 10 points bullshit. Cool record, but it doesnt work when you’re the third option.
Yes if only LeBron passed the ball some more, they would have surely won the game if Rui got the ball like 5 more times for sure
I’m honestly hoping Luka stops taking 20 shots every single first quarter to get only himself in rhythm
It’s hilarious criticizing the 10 point streak today. You lost due to Luka putting up one of the emptiest 38 point games I’ve ever seen. LeBron took 10 shots.
He had one shot
One opportunity
Mom’s spaghetti
I’m sure one of Luka’s turnovers must have deflected in his direction
Not his fault they aint pass him the ball. Luka had mad turnovers
The only time the ball wasn’t sticking for the Lakers was when it was getting poked out by the Suns
He can grab more than one rebound
Lmfaoooooo
Also only 1 FGA
me when I try to hop on 2k rec solo
Rui averages 14 on 54%/46%. Comparing him to Tony Snell is insane on a night where he attempted one shot
Don’t forget the terrible defense
He’s not comparing him to Tony Snell. How old are you
I mean there’s a problem if he only attempts a single shot
And the problem isn’t him so i don’t get your point.
I didn’t watch so I don’t know what the fuck the problem was, but holy shit that’s like numbers Heyward was putting up for us
The problem is you didnt watch. He didnt get touches cause luka was busy turning the ball over.
Salty laker fans. Why would I watch a blow out? That’s not a problem, just say Luka couldn’t get a pass to him
Don’t comment on a players performance in a game you didn’t watch. Is it so hard? For people like you who like to comment 20 times a day I guess it is.
Wow look at nostradamo over here predicting a blowout so he didnt watch. Fucking box score watcher.
Oh so I should watch every game all the time because you’re a baby about it? I said there was a problem and it’s clearly true. Whine all you want, you’re just butthurt you got embarrassed. Go to bed.
Jesus you’re a cunt. Started an argument then played the victim car… oh I see the thunder flair now.
I didn’t start the argument now did I? There’s a problem and I clearly admitted that. Stop making shit up
He didn’t get the ball so can’t blame him too much.
more rebounds than Lebron too
I didn’t even think it was possible for LeBron to have zero rebounds?
Watch this get more upvotes than any Luka post despite him being the main reason everyone else is ass
There’s a civil war brewing between Lebron and Luka Stans in the Lakers sub atm.
There is no civil war lol. It’s 14 yr old kids who have been patiently waiting for a Lakers loss with LeBron playing
Extremely accurate description of most internet discourse in the nba subs lmao
There is ABSOLUTELY no civil war. Children arguing on reddit abt who’s parasocial superstar is better isn’t a civil war. Sane laker fans which is still like 90% of the fanbase inspite of the reputation just believe it was a bad game
who the hell is arguing lebron vs luka in 2025?
Idk man stupidity is rampant in society. Even as a self proclaimed biggest bron fan itw it’s just no debate whatsoever like come on
Let them fight, player stans are the worst. They’re all literally the exact same person who just imprinted on a different momma bird.
As we all know, the Mavs got so much better without Luka dragging them down. Do people on this sub even watch basketball or what?
Rui is walking 18 points with one of the best efficiency in the nba, him getting 1 FG is bad look no wonder other role players like gabe, knecht cant hit consistent 3
Knecht actually went 3 for 5 in this game.
Two of them were in garbage time when JJ pulled the starters
meaning he was in the rhythm if he played more
0/1 FG is not that bad honestly. Lots of players miss their first shot.
And you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take
The Lakers took 80 shots so really he’s 0/80.
Let’s not play the blame game, Luka was shit and deserved this L.
Every starter except maybe Ayton was shit
Ayton got out hustled all game long by Mark Williams.
Looking at the Lakers “Who’s the failed physical now bitch”
Ayton was buns
How can that be true when I was assured that Austin Reaves and LeBron James are all star locks
LeBron will be a lock until the day he retires because of the fan vote despite whatever his stats are
Ofc and he absolutely should be but it’s still funny to see Lakers fans wanting three all stars but being so mediocre
The Lakers are the 2 seed, are you even watching basketball?
They are tho.
Off games happen
do you really think lebron isn’t getting in on the fan vote
He will, I’ll be voting for him cause all time legends should get selected but it’s just funny.
one reb away from a Tony Snell
This makes no sense. He only got one shot attempt, meaning he barely touched the ball. Did you watch the game? They didnt pass the ball to their catch and shoot sniper. That’s why they lost the game.
How many touches though, Im tryna see something…
Considering how amazing he his at shooting, it gotta be a bit criminal to not get him more looks no?
Almost had the Kyle kuzma special
Cam Reddish took over his body tonight
Rui has a slow release so if you have quick defenders you can defend him.
As soon as he drives, you surround him. He has weak handles and not a good passer.
Let him take middies. He knows his role and he wont jack up middies
He handed all his abilities to AD in that hug.
Bro needs to get investigated for cooking my you know what
The Lakers sub is blaming Luka for “not getting him the ball”. Cool but that doesn’t explain the 1 rebound and no defense lol. I can’t with our fans sometimes
What’s his salary again?
Which team in the west would actually be scared of the Lakers front court in a playoff series? Sacramento, clippers, and?
those teams aren’t even gonna crack 30 wins
Cause obviously the teams winning 50+ games look at the Lakers front court like BBQ chicken
I want a Houston vs LAL playoff series this year. It will be an ultimate bloodbath. Send out a 6’10” starting lineup and Luka will ask the refs for 10 free FTs to start the game.
You have to assume they’ll make trades because they have zero athletic defenders except Smart
