I might be imagining stuff but I think Walker has developed some Lauri-like skills as we saw with Walker's first one-hand-dunk. Also some post moves seem to me as if he has been taking a note or two from Lauri's playbook. Certainly stuff that weren't there a few months ago. I could go as far as...

Walker and Lauri really seem to be enjoying each others company. :D

Embiid is one of the least likeable players out there. Besides Harden. Maybe its a good thing they are on the same team. Minimizing encountering them during the season. It also helps that they both are in the east.

Making opposing fans act salty.

Apparently Lauri appreciates Hardy so much that he will name his unborn son Will.

I would refer to Kessler as the 2nd best package or 2nd most important player but tbh I think Conley is such an important part of this team in setting up the court that I think I would still currently rate him above Kessler. But damn does this Jazz have such a bright future with its young core...

Tbh I think this is the case with many so-called busts. NBA is a game of opportunity and luck in sense of finding a way into a team that fits that certain player. Things would be much different if the coaches' approach would be to utilize their building blocks to the utmost instead of trying to...

This seemed like the most appopriate thread to mention that here is apparently a full hour interview with Danny Ainge. Haven't had yet a chance to watch it myself so not exactly sure what it's about. Edit: Jazz stuff begin at ~43 mins into the video. Just a quick chat about Donovan and Rudy...

You were on the top of your topic-setting game last year. I wonder if you have what it takes this year.

I'm a bit suprised as Lauri basically bypassed both Portis and Mirotic in Bulls hierarchy. I assumed Bobby wasn't too happy.

I checked the box-score in the 1st and wrote this game off as a blow-out L. Was super-positively surprised to wake up to the score and realise that this team really bounced back and faught for the W. A damn good effort vs. a Sixers with both Embiid and Harden available. Man I really intensely...

And royally screwed up with both of them...

Here's the other one. https://www.nba.com/news/2023-midseason-takeaways

Lauri (and Jazz) is featured on 2 different top news articles on nba.com. Sorry, too lazy to provide links.

Not talking as much about you as the attitude you project here. Who am I is of no concequence to you. You are exactly right that Lauri has cooled down from 3 but as you have maybe noticed, people want to define the situation more optimistically than "terrible" as you stated. Regardless of the...

Yes to my understanding.

This is the Finn-mentality rising on the forum. An old Finnish saying: a pessimist is never disappointed. The negativity is something I as a Finn very much do not like.

You mean the one where he agrees that Dean Wade would be on the same list if he had more threes and dunks? :p

Its saturday night. He's drunk.

I think it was Eurobasket that started the day Lauri was traded. Fiba qualifications were ongoing earlier.
