    The Lakers crunchtime offense was deadly vs Grizzlies. They scored on 6 straight trips. Most in that stack with Bron,AD & AR.
    1- Knecht drive & Kick to AD for 3.
    2- A Bron driving Dunk
    3- Bron to AD for the P&P 3
    4-The beautiful AD pass from the elbow 2 a cutting Bron on the backdoor for the 2 hand dunk🔥
    5- A Bron drive & kick 2 Rui for a above the break 3.
    6- AR step back 3🔥🔥
    Just great late game execution

    Cam Johnson & DFS + Nick Richards & a $5m ish 2 way guard for DLo,Gabe,Max,JHS Wood,Jax & Lewis. Id like Cam J & Marcus Smart or Bruce Brown types personally, but id say they can only get 1 of them/that type.
    Then start

    • @jovanbuha
      @jovanbuha  6 дней назад

      That’s possible (though I’d argue, similar to JHS, him playing more is actually tanking his value). Gabe’s defensive metrics rate out well, according to Cranjis. That could explain it. It doesn’t pass the eye test (at least not at an A-level, IMO), and even so, he’s been so bad offensively that it offsets a lot of his defensive value. But the coaching staff still clearly believes in him, to a large extent.

    • @SpringMagic-po2yj
      @SpringMagic-po2yj 6 дней назад

      So they want to increase his trade value by giving him an opportunity to showcase how bad he is? 😏 I don't think they could or would go it even they are trying to win games and also if they wanted to do that I don't think they would bench DLo.

    Why are you so high still on Rui? He is consistent at failing the Lakers in every single big moment they need him. Size doesn't matter when you can't consistently take advantage of it. He is an average player that never steps up in big games and moment's. He is a major reason Denver has owned LA past 2 season's along with Dlo. If both those players are still on this roster after trade deadline you can count on another disappearing act and disappointment. No bench, same issue's as last year and some of the worst 3 point defense I've ever seen. No trade makes this team better than the top 4 in the west. Pelinka stinks

    • @jovanbuha
      @jovanbuha  6 дней назад +4

      What is this in relation to? Cam Johnson? Or the most likely Lakers to be traded? I think that sways my response. But I actually think Rui was solid in the first Denver series. He was, in my opinion, their fourth-best player in the WCF. However, last series against them was rough. He was arguably worse than DLo. Really struggling finishing at the rim and on open 3s. I’m higher on him than you seem to be. But he’s clearly flawed, and I’ve become more open to him potentially moving to the bench, depending on Vando’s status and any roster moves

    • @RastaFarian-cj2sw
      @RastaFarian-cj2sw 3 дня назад

      currently Rui is playing SF with Lebron, Rui is too slow to play the 3, Lebron can't be the 3 anymore cause of his age can't have bron chase the athletic SF superstars anymore. Rui at the 4 is good, of Vando returns Rui should be off the bench. Vando+AD it boosts the Lakers defense immensely.

    Cam Johnson is a better player than Rui lol. He would definitely be a better fit with his ability to catch and shoot. He moves way better than Rui without the ball and is a better volume shooter. He’s a better defender too. Especially in the perimeter. One of the best 3-D players in the league.
    I know Gabe has been horrible offensively but I don’t think the lakers are using him as he was used in Miami. He used to handle the ball more in Miami. Create for others and create a lot of his own offense. His mid range game and attacking the rim after screens was his strong fit. Lakers are merely using him as a point of attack 3-D guy.

    • @gregnoble8063
      @gregnoble8063 5 дней назад +1

      Agree on both points...I think Rui is who he is, and athletic player (we do need this) with little basketball IQ.
      Gabe is not being allowed to play to his strengths and anyone in that position would look lost. Interesting that their original target that off season was Bruce Brown who would have been amazing. I think the Gabe situation is another example of roster mismanagement by Rob.
