    The only things I really enjoyed this season was second part of the season Collier flashes of being the future assist king of the league, and Kessler's some very dominant games here and there. Those two I'm most certain that are going to spend in Utah their second contract as well, if this team...

    Poetry Corner

    There it is! It drove me insane a week ago as I was trying to remember a poet whose Finnish translations I have, and couldn't find that book anywhere. Now I at least remembered the name bc you posted his work. Now I try find the book as well but there's a chance someone borrowed it. As probable...

    I listened few. Lauri was the most boring one bc I know exactly what he is going to say. He mentioned how he's had good seasons after playing for the national team... Maybe that should teach him something if it happens this summer/next season again. I mean by that, if he's not having competitive...

    The Growing Thirst for Cruelty

    I took a mental break from world politics, and now I come back reading stuff... And I see the official White House account bragging "We will find you, we will kill you" What the actual ****?! Those people are a waste of fresh air.

    The Lauri Thread

    I second very much to that assessment, most in-deep sports followers In Finland would say the same. Family and stable environment means to Lauri too much for him to start pushing things around him. It's good for a family man, but it's bad for his chances to win anything meaningful with his team...

    Poetry Corner

    I spent a year writing poetry in my youth. And drinking. And... Well, that's something left behind the closed curtains. I really like all kinda stuff. From Americans, T.S. Eliot, Bukowski and Hal Sirowitz should be enough to give an impression of my likings. Worldwidely, I'd think Jaan...

    The Lauri Thread

    Excuse me what? On the bolded one (bolding by me) That Cavs team was as high as 3rd or 4th in the east before injuries ruined the late season, when Lauri was there. Calling Sexton, Garland, Mobley, Allen "no one" is both untrue and unfair.

    The Lauri Thread

    I'll buy you all a beer when you visit Turku, Finland, if Lauri gets traded this summer. I've always said 2026 trade deadline is the first point it might happen unless Ainge gets exactly what he wants or an overpay. After this season, it's much less likely. I am almost sure they want to see if...

    The Lauri Thread

    The older Ainge gets, the more he wants to extort from other GM's. Its the biggest risk in this whole rebuild.

    The Lauri Thread

    It has to be added we saw few VERY short, small flashes on 2025 he still can be a force, but when he had few better games, that's when he was DNP'd for several games. His best games was on latter part of this season, when Collier ran the floor. I have been thinking Jazz isn't really considering...

    The Lauri Thread

    Id say it's probable that Lauri peaked already. I'd also say it's probable he'll better than this season. The biggest key is now for him to fix his three point shot to be more consistent again. The other things will follow when he gets into environment where he's not treated like #1 option by...

    Last good song you listened to?

    I don't listen much any kind of rap or such, but this week the algorithm blessed me with Sophie. View: https://youtu.be/X89DMLTEzCs?si=EyTk8QW0NZREoPpj

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    I read about the Grizzlies Jenkins gate from forums and fans, and it seems some say that Jenkins was regularly suggested plays in games by the assistant Iisalo (and being ignored), and players were many times taking his side which caused tension. So it might be that Iisalo just in under one...

    Why is Kessler shooting threes?

    In five years, you'll have a YouTube video of Kessler clanging threes, and Kessler clanking threes... To cut in the end for the championship winning three. It will be glorious and very wholesome experience. This is the song for the video. View: https://youtu.be/AV00cT5qWEQ?si=jMQF3kZ1MzA_etWb

    The FINAL COUNTDOWN - 50 Days to go

    Ok. Minnesota gets pushed out from the playoffs in the play-ins, and Jazz gets also the 2nd pick via wolves.

    The FINAL COUNTDOWN - 50 Days to go

    I'm rather realist and hope Jazz won't fall back as far they can fall, but pick something like 2-4.

    Why is Lauri out again? Personal reasons or acute tankitis?

    Some off-season trade ideas

    If you get a good deal for Collins,you'll trade him and replace with the 2025 first pick in the starting five. Unless you don't get a good trade, you'll keep him and decide whether you can get him locked in for a team friendly extension, or maybe get a trade through later, or hang on to him...
