Oh wow, WK and Lauri were amazing and won this game despite having one of the worst second units we've run out there in recent memory. I was kind of upset when I woke up and saw the score, but after watching the game I was pumped, and still am. Just wow, we got a good thing going.

We only have maybe a handful of guys total on this team that need to be guarded. Alternatively we can throw out the most competent defensive units we've had in a couple of years. We're likely to have some really ugly basketball the rest of the way.

I like what Dunn brought for the most part. Watching his on ball defense vs what we've had on this team recently is pretty revealing.

This game was like a fever dream. Lauri and Kessler. Goodness. They played out of this world to make up for a few awful games by their teammates.

I want to see more of Dunn. We've been talking about him for a few years and it will be interesting to see if he keeps playing well and more importantly, sticks.

Tbf, even the most hardcore tankers cannot be mad seeing Lauri and Walker play like they did. In fact, if those 2 continue to get better like this they will soon forget the draft is even a thing.

Yep. I’m definitely pro tank, and I’m happy to see this team win like they just did. Put the game on Lauri and WK’s backs and let it roll. If they win, that’s worth celebrating. It sure feels like Markkanen and Kessler are both making leaps towards star status.

Down the stretch it was a battle of the tank (THT) vs Lauri and THT almost had it.

I was literally thinking this as I watched the 4th quarter. It felt like lauri vs THT and I wasn't sure who would win but I was actually rooting for Lauri despite being a "tanker". Team worked too hard in that game to want them to lose it.

If it was my grandma she’d also be sneaking back to the locker room to see what The Finnisher is working with.

And then he would "finish" her?

The elevation in traffic on the drive against KW was pretty impressive. His bounce is very underrated.

Question. Is lauri in the same realm of "bounce" as young Dwight Howard? As in dunk contest worthy?

 

[fishonjazz]

Great game. Lauri and Kessler dominating. I thought Sexton would rip his thigh again he was so pumped up for his team.

That Sexton sure is a loveable bastard. He was adorable in the skills challenge too. In fact, JC Sexton and Kessler were all adorable as a team. The core guys really seem to like each other and have great chemistry. Some really good personalities on this team.

Also that one putback he had (after KO? missed three).. he was outside of the stack of players and just went over 2 guys to put it back.
