    Eurobasket 2025

    But that comes with the territory of being a star and an offensive leader of your team. And no, other stars, despite facing similarly intense defensive pressure, managed to be more efficient throughout the tournament. You can look at the top 20 scorers of EuroBasket 2025 and try to find a player...

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    Also, the electricity. Silver should reimburse me for the cost of electricity I spend watching the NBA. And for the opportunity cost of all my time spent watching it.

    The Non-Jazz NBA Thread in the Jazz Section

    The league pass is $100 per season, about 8 bucks per month. Do you know "a lot of Americans" who cannot afford spending 8 dollars monthly for something they truly enjoy?

    Eurobasket 2025

    We all knew that Finland is not getting past Germany. There is still the game for the bronze and Greece is beatable if Lauri has a great game. Maybe the today's game will fuel him. Lauri still has a chance to lead Finland to their first basketball medal ever and create a lasting legacy.

    Tony Jones No Longer Covers Utah Jazz

    I know that I will be downvoted. However, certain things deserve to be said. Tony Jones as the Jazz reporter was pretty forgettable. He had no unique, interesting style of delivery and no particularly interesting basketball insights. I have never felt the urge to specifically search for his...

    Eurobasket 2025

    I actually secretly hoped that Lauri explodes at EuroBasket, impresses some quality teams and finds a new home. His time on the Jazz reminds me of an unhappy marriage where the couple stays together partially out of inertia and partially because they think that breaking up would be too...

    Eurobasket 2025

    Why is everybody all of a sudden so concerned how the Jazz will deal with the mighty Markkanen? Is it because he for some reason - and unlike other good NBA players - decided to run up the stats against bad European teams? In his 3 games against quality teams Lauri averages 19.7 PPG/ 9.3 RPG/3.0...

    How interested/engaged/enthusiastic are you about the Jazz right now?

    Why should we be less interested about the Jazz now? The upcoming season is one of the most exciting and unpredictable ones that I remember as a Jazz fan. So many players may have either a break-out year or to completely crash their value and hit a hard ceiling. - Will Lauri be OK with...

    How interested/engaged/enthusiastic are you about the Jazz right now?

    Who IS a fan of the Jazz team and not a fan of specific players? Players are not interchangeable and not fungible. If the owner of the Jazz somehow pulled a swap and got an entire 2025 OKC team in the Jazz uniform would you immediately start cheering for them? And if this OKC squad wins the...

    Eurobasket 2025

    I have a question. It looks like all of Finnish players of note - Markkanen, Muurinen, Little, Koponen - have parents who have also been basketball players. It is definitely a thing in America too but not nearly to the same extent. Why is it so? Is it because basketball in Finland is a very...

    Eurobasket 2025

    Well, originally I typed "Last season Lauri was the 3rd on the team the total FGA (after Keyonte and Sexton)" and then added to that "and FGA per 36" and did not follow it with "(after Clarkson and Sexton)". I still fail to see how the fact that Lauri was still third in FGA/36 but behind...

    Eurobasket 2025

    Last season Lauri was the 3rd on the team in both the total FGA and FGA per 36 (after Keyonte and Sexton). Lauri was the 4th in PPG per 36 after Sexton, Clarkson and Collins.

    Utah Jazz Select Ace Bailey, Pick 5

    Everybody knows that he is lying, right?! Ainge is just hoping that trading away Collins, Sexton and Clarkson will make the Jazz so bad that there would be no need for any shenanigans. But if the Jazz unexpectedly start winning games...

    Eurobasket 2025

    The sad part is that if Lauri wastes the rest of his prime playing for horrible Jazz teams he will be quickly forgotten by American basketball fans, like Shareef Abdur-Rahim. And even the Jazz fans 15 years from now will vaguely remember him as someone like Al Jefferson 2.0. I hope that at least...

    Eurobasket 2025

    I think that Lauri definitely enjoys going all-out for the wins when all of his teammates are doing the same. He most certainly did not have the opportunity to do so on the Jazz last season or two - and will not have it in the upcoming season. It must be extremely demotivating and frustrating...

    Eurobasket 2025

    A professional player scores way above his averages playing against the competition two tiers down. Stop the presses! I bet he can also break Wilt's scoring record playing against a high school team from Iowa.

    John Stockton has sharp criticism of Jazz

    That's like... demonstrably false? The Stockton and Malone Jazz were not built with high draft picks, out of Deron, Boozer, Memo and AK only Deron was a high pick. Mitchell and Gobert were not high picks either.

    OKC as a blueprint

    Um, look at Chet's stats in the different rounds of the recent playoffs.
