Rui Hachimura on the difference between the Nuggets and Lakers: 'We just don't have enough experience...they've been together for like five years'
ClutchPoints: “Clearly, we have to do something better. Of course, we’ve been trying. We’ve been watching a lot of films. We’re adjusting different coverages and all that. But, as a team, in my opinion, we just don’t have enough experience… They’ve been together for like 5 years.” Rui Hachimura on the Lakers mindset in this series against the Nuggets 🗣️ (via @michaelcorvo_ ) pic.twitter.com/NPNamCyTMD

If only Darvin Ham played the right combo of Christian Wood, Taurean Prince, Spencer Dinwiddie and Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell at the right times, while calling more timeouts, the Lakers would be championship bound instead of swept in the first round. I’m a Lakers fan. – 8:16 AM

What I’m watching for in Game 3 tonight vs. Lakers:
– Nuggets defensive matchups
Denver flipped Game 2 by moving Aaron Gordon onto Anthony Davis and Nikola Jokic onto Rui Hachimura in the 2nd half. It neutralized Davis and threw the Lakers’ offense off. Does Michael Malone go – 8:37 PM

Darvin Ham on his message to Rui Hachimura after Game 2 (1 for 7 FG’s):
“Don’t overthink it … I hope he gets those same looks he got in Game 2, and he’ll do what D-Lo did from Game 1 to Game 2. Just have fun and be aggressive on both sides of the court.” – 8:24 PM
