Wow, what an amazing way to come back from some awful play last few games. Celtics did excellent job denying Lauri to receive balls in his spots, but Keynote was even better by using all the space that their constant doubling over Lauri created. I knew these two guys can ball, sometimes one...
If Jazz hadn't been handcuffed by the OKC pick debt, I'm pretty sure there would have been more emphasize on defensive development. As things stand currently, the best bet is have an awful overall defense . If you werent in this position, it be a bit more okay to end up being say, 5th, 6th or...
What a complete f:n waste of my time. The only thing that kept me interested on 2nd half was if I see real Harkless minutes or if Lauri scores 30 again. Hardy betrayed me and Lauri failed to score to keep the streak alive. I hate life.
First five minutes, these hornets announcers called Keyonte as "Key-sean" George. SMH
Another note: It's sick that Hornets dancers are called Honeybees. Hornets kill Honeybees, sometimes complete colonies. Hornets brand people: YOU ARE SICK
Yeah, they can't keep playing Lauri this much. He can get his with less, when you time many of his minutes for when the bonus is on and he'll get to the line. Also can get enough shots up with few minutes less.
It's super obvious after these few games that Jazz bench is way too bad to have great record going forward to the point, where the hard tank kicks in. It'd need massive upgrade in either bench performance, or magical coaching tricks to stop better teams, which also happen to usually have better...
Jazz intensity is way too low, but Suns also has made their homework and does good job in not allowing jazz to run their screen actions like last time. Let's see what Will has in his bag for 2nd half
Let's hope Lauri averages 30 in that case, and has been able to pull of 30+ points against really well defending teams. Then you have to ask yourself: would it make any sense to trade for a 2nd option and make a playoffs push. I wouldn't but what if they will do it? (Lauri has no playoffs...
I don't know. What Cy said, probably. We can see the defense sucks so it doesn't need many more minutes to minus defender for developmental reasons to lose games..You can also trade Nurkic unless you have plans for his salary thought in some roster building reasons.
You definitely can't ask...
This is second time in Lauri's career he's scored 30 in three consecutive games. The first time happened with the Bulls, in his 2nd season into NBA, when teams still weren't guarding him as heavily.
Out of interest, I also took a look how similar his assisted/unassisted FGA's are compared to...
What a disaster of 2nd and 3rd half's. Well, now we know Harkless needs more minutes and earlier in the game if the defense seems to be awful. That, if they want to win.
Didn't believe at all they come this close after how awfully easy they made it to Blazers so long
It's a small sample size still, but I'm pretty sure I've never seen Lauri this good with his midrange game and overall balance with ball in his hand. If he keeps this up, he can become 30ppg kinda guy and you dont want to trade that guy.
