Maybe that’s why he can shoot subconsciously. He almost doesn’t even care about 3s

Did he tell JJ he dont like shooting 3’s that last timeout? 

a true Japanese who can excel in his job despite hating it

so you didn’t even WANT to hit that buzzer beater on my team? sick.

I don’t like my job either

Spurs should absolutely chase him in offseason, he’s exactly what they need as a stretch 4 that can do the dirty work defensively and boxing out

Man the player development the Lakers did with him was phenomenal.

And also holy shit are the Wizards a black hole of talent

I remember his first year in the playoffs and people said his shooting was a fluke. But he’s clearly worked extremely hard and completely flipped the narrative from the Wiz.

My steak is too juicy and my lobster is too buttery.

maybe time to make it your thing my guy, the magnetball was crazy

Dude was awesome this post season in my opinion.. and as soon as bron comes in the room, mid interview oh.. well hes here get the hell outta here rui. Its just sad.. you Play the best you possibly can in the playoffs, hit records for gods sake and can’t even get a full interview..  Dude really deserves better.  

shoot the three

> if you think its gonna miss run after it and you can go for the put back/rebound and play how you actually want to play

> if you make it you get 3 points

genius

No wonder he was benched on the last play

If the Lakers wouldn’t demand our entire future, I really think *if* we are to ever add more depth to our roster, Rui should be one of those guys that can really help us and we should make an honest run at him. Barnes is done and we’re getting cooked at the 4 consistently.

We have a few line-ups that are like 5 good defenders on the floor with literally no scorers, and we can have him come off the bench.

Probably an unpopular opinion amongst Spurs’ fans though. (Might change their minds once they realize that the two games we’ve lose to the Wolves, we did so because of poor 3pt shooting).

then i go for 3….but it is merely pump fake. i pull the ball down, step over the line, i back down the big for a fade away 2 from the elbow

Phil Handy baby

“You know…”

That sounds like the Wizards.

Man don’t wanna be paid, 3 man get paid

Man just loves his pumpfake into pull-up two. While he’s actually pretty good at that, he should just shoot a ton of threes like he did in the playoffs

Great ready to be a specialist rui

Should have referred to himself as the Jokic stopper

Wish the likes of Embiid, Joker and KAT had the same mentality about 3s

Imagine if he actually liked shooting threes. He might shoot 100% from 3.

Whether hes in a lakers jersey or not next year, hes proven himself as a potential key piece to a championship team

Yea, just cause you’re hung like a moose doesn’t mean you gotta do porn

I’d love to see Rui when he loves shooting 3s. Lol 60%+

It felt like every one he shot was going in against us

how would you like to play next to an alien, rui?

Isn’t Kerr clearly just joking about the 3 point thing?

Benching your best player/shooter during the final play of the game.

Genius IQ coaching from JJ.
