I like that Lauri is out for rest and not inventing bs reasons. Send that middle finger to Presti. "If we need some rest to our hard working goat then we gonna rest him. Deal with it, punk."

That's effing weird stat, wow.

It's not that simple. There's very big chance of having one or two injury replacements and a top ten scorer like Lauri is one of the first ones to called over, unless he makes it into top 8 of internationals. It's a real chance he gets in and Jazz gotta live with that and let these guys...

They want to be all stars, like it or not. They want big games.

I know I should be happy for the tank win, but I feel annoyed to lose. It's OKC so I really wanted the win.

With Jazz defense it's an auto loss. Plus, Lauri was struggling heavily against OKC. Is Dort playing? He was a nightmare matchup for Lauri as well. I hope Lauri gets motivated from the previous game and finds some tools to disturb their defensive plans.

I really don't get this: Jazz ain't anywhere near cotending and keeps playing Lauri crazy minutes. 41 minutes? Are you effing serious coach? What the heck? He could get his with lesser minutes and probably have better efg% as well. The style he plays as 7 footer isn't ideal to run I'm all the...

Indeed. Can't do much more. Before the all star selections are made, we can't even rightfully expect Lauri or Keyonte be ok for any number of shady DNP's. It's their one and only career and you never know if there will be another shot ahead. Injuries, real and bad ones can happen. I'm just...

I wouldn't watch games to root for losses, but I'm not bothered by losses in this kind of situation.

Jazz may have lost, but Celtics shot over 60% off the field on 2nd. Could have very well ended other way around. Now we also know to build around Nurkic. Untouchable!

Enjoy the games and pray for a miracle with the pick. The big two just scored 61 on Pistons and 57 on Spurs while some other young guys contributing as well. Both of Lauri and Key has to consider of having a chance for ASG game, at least from the reserve spots, if there's injuries. So you can't...

We need a 3pt hot streak for the guy. He's tanked his 3pt% to ~35 again like last season. I checked out he has nine games with ten+ 3p attempts, in which only two of them he's gone above his career average 37%. Be it the increased minutes and tiredness, shot form or shot selection, he has to do...

It was expected Jazz wins one or two of these home games against good teams before the year changes. Be happy for having Key and Lauri. What I don't like is Kevin Love getting more minutes than Flip. We need young guys learn to win these kind games. If not, then it'll be a tank win. So win-win.

I had a detailed proposition in this spirit last season. It's somewhere in this forum.

He is. But Jazz have punchers chance at home. As we've seen, they can go 70% or 20% from the field to start a game. Anything between it or above 45% and they hang on it for a while. If Pistons comes hard from the bang, it can be over in 12 minutes again, though. Especially if Lauri suffers of...

I don't think Lauri is going to be ok sitting out games w/o a real reason, specifically now that the all star voting started. He made it very clear his goal is making the all star game again. The way he started the season, it feels unlikely he's be willingly out at the exact time when the voting...

I don't know how much insight it needs for that POV, really. I mean, it's more like stating the obvious as we all know here the exact same thing at this point. We can read the standings and "the room", and know for sure it's really hard to get better than those lottery seedings. It could be even...

Literally no one wants to watch foul game when you're three buckets behind. Eww.

I think Lebron will win this for them in 4th, but it's gonna be close. Man, I am 41 and can barely poop w/o injury upon me.

Of f***... That gotta hurt. Get well, Lauri!
