Im a Pels fan but can anyone tell me why the hell are the Jazz so good??



do we ... do we just have to accept that Lauri Markkenen is a, without reservations, all-star player now? Did he commune with the ancient pagan gods of Finland on international duty? What's happening.



Lauri really is a 7 foot wing. Chicago just didn’t understand this. Man’s a beast on the perimeter and is playing with such confidence right now. Definitely gonna be an all star and possibly MIP if he can keep this up



I am simultaneously so happy for Lauri and so jealous of Utah



I remember everyone clowning on the Cavs for the 4 yr 67 mil contract that Lauri got last season. Sure looks like one of the best contracts in the league right now.



It's early but that Cavs Jazz trade is looking pretty damned mutually beneficial.



Jazz have that mix of borderline players that tanking team would stock up on for trade purposes but compliment each other so well the total greater than the sum of its parts. Conley is the perfect point guard for that dynamic and lauri was always a guy who was gonna need time and the right situation. he has sisu.



Jordan Clarkson leading the team in assists is impressive. Seems he's really trying to play a point guard role and get everyone involved.



Them dudes in Utah are hooping



Ainge pulling his hair out.

He is planning to get his starters suspended for the rest of the season, only way to keep the tank on track.



Poor Zach Lowe had Utah at the #30 in the list of most watchable teams. Little did he know that Utah is going to win a championship



Foolish ESPN and TNT don’t have any Jazz games!



somehow Utah, Gobert and Mitchell were all holding each other back at once



Can't believe the grizz is tanking for wemby



Markkanen must be the frontrunner for MIP right now, right?



My road leads into the Vivint Arena…



Lauri Legend

The Finnisher

White Death

Lauri has the best nicknames and it’s not even close.



Nah, Danny is uber competitive to a fault. He'll start a rebuild but not fully commit to bottoming out if there's even a whiff of the team still being decent after trading away a couple of pieces.

Think it's way more likely that he rides with the team and tries to keep the team in the playoff hunt immediately, much like he did in Boston. Lauri is his new IT.



Forreal if Lauri keeps playing like a total star why in the world would anyone want to trade him, guy is only 25 which is still young enough to be a major core piece of the future.



LAURI BIRD DOES IT AGAIN!
**** THE MIP, HE COMING FOR THE MVP!

Ainge is most certainly rubbing his hands together knowing he can ask 2 first round picks for him if he keeps at this pace lol



Hahaha Power Rankings ****ing exposed again!!!

When is the NBA gonna realise Utah are the clear cut 2nd best team in the NBA behind us.



This is the Lauri Markkanen that Jim Boylen stunted. Called it in 2019.



damn that utah crowd is impressive



Random theory but he’s an outdoorsy Finnish dude, and the Vibe In Utah is good for his soul. Feel good, play good?



I love redemption stories. Markkanen was dubbed the new unicorn. Then just like that disappeared.

Now you remember Jim Boylen make him park and shoot corner 3. Somehow the Jazz unlocked him.



He's got the green light and there are little expectations. Good coaching too he's Lauri from FIBA playing in the NBA now



The Jazz have unlocked superstar Markkanen. Beware. Y'all aren't ready.



I always believed in Lauri and I’m so happy to see him ball tf out, but god damn do I wish it was in red & black



I feel like the Lauri for Donovan trade is like those healthy divorces that end in everyone getting remarried then vacationing together with the kids.



I hope the Jazz keeps this up all year and reek havoc in the west lol



Why are the jazz so good wtf



lol Dillon.. why would you do that to Conley of all people?



Dillon is such a little bitch. Would hate if he was on my team



bro what the **** is wrong with dillon brooks guy's a punk



grizzlies are getting dirty, also why the **** would you walk over conley, that dude carried grizzlies for like a decade



Makes you wonder if you can just build around Markkanen lol



This Jazz team is just very likeable, first time watching them this season



How the **** the Jazz look way better after trading their 2 main stars? Jazz fans, was that Donovan/Gobert rift that bad?



holy **** utah spanking teams out here. it really is spooky szn



Wtf are the Jazz even?



That’s an interesting hairdo bad golfer dude has



So umm the Jazz are legit legit



how are the Jazz doing this man



Mike Conley looks in a great place physically, Lauri is playing out of his mind, great shooting all over the roster, huge hustle and unselfish play. Its honestly so sick to watch.



Is Lauri Markanen a franchise player lol



Lauri Dirkannen, I'm surprised at his defense. I thought he was soft and can't protect the rim.



Damn this Utah Moneyball team



Utah is so fun man



Yet another great coach found in the wild. Hardy has these Jazz playing like they've been together for years.



I really thought the Grizzlies would blow the Jazz out tonight with Ja after barely losing to them without Ja.



How did the Jazz turn Markkanen into Larry Bird



Surprised at how strong a rebounder Markannen is. I thought he was soft.



THT really did a step back 3 when he was wide open lol made it tho



**** it I'm bandwagonning thr Jazz



Jazz dumped dmitch and gobert to build around Larry Bird.

Still think they should be tanking for another asset but maybe they want to see what he can do for them right away.



Why would the Jazz do this? What’s going on in Utah
 
“How did the Jazz turn Markkanen into Larry Bird?”

First team that actually believed in him enough to feature him in our offensive schemes.

“THT really did a step back 3 when he was wide open lol made it tho”

Degree of difficulty baby, THT doesn’t do anything boring!

“**** it I'm bandwagonning thr Jazz”

Smart man!
 
Lauri Dirkannen
thats a new and good one
 
THT really did a step back 3 when he was wide open lol made it tho
LOL THT always good for a laugh
 
Yep, we're gonna need a bigger bandwagon.

Just trying the help for your needs as a Finn, and from the role of hopelessly biased Lauri Markkanen fanboi.

But I promise, for the future and now on I'll tirelessly put some effort to correct all those lazy, uneducated and unnecessary spelling (I can accept that in a speech, but not in written English) mistakes concerning the mighty name of

LAURI MARKKANEN

here in these parts of the interweb. Thank you.

Rough translations from Finnish can be also produced with some degree of accuracy if ever needed. Lol. :)

Welcome! There is no need to be hopelessly biased anymore as Lauri is a ****ing god.

I will do better to commit and spell it correctly. Certain words and names give me trouble even if I stare at them and try to memorize. To make sure to show our new friends in Finland proper respect.
