Yeah, his style of scoring to maintain 30ppg is a quite a big ask. He improved his handle a little bit in the off season and his midrange game, but I feel it needs another step so he doesn't have to be running as much thru the screen actions. It works easier, when there's no guys defending like...

You can't make big interpretations based on some OKC game, that team is insane and defensively the worst possible matchup to Lauri as of many. The Lakers game again... First time this season Lauri felt more just annoyed than poised - but still got it going for last five minutes. I said...

Great write up here. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6826332/2025/11/21/lauri-markkanen-mitchell-robinson-nba-trends/ "People talk about playmaking with basketball all the time. Luka Dončić needs the rock so he can distribute it to others. But this is the quieter version of playmaking. Forget...

Nba is going to be so effing boring for a decade. OKC has one of all time defensive teams with lot of shooters as well, and they just have picks coming and coming and coming.

Let's see your picture so we can judge you. Pff...

There will be possibly a record number of teams having winning percent under 30% so it's gonna be hard to be bottom five, even if the defense is as bad it is for the Jazz. Even 6th worst pingpong ball slot would be quite worrying.

You know things are upsetting, when good sir David Hume resorts to modern English w/o any rarely used words and expressions. Look what you've done, NBA TV! You bastards!

Even if it's hard task become All NBA in a losing team, Lauri will give it a shot. In this current form there's zero chance he's ok to sit out until there's very likely risk to aggravate body to injure.

I guess zero rim protection does it, when they have two top 5 passers in the league. Jazz chance was to keep taking their shots but with more active defense by all it became tougher. That said, refs give such soft *** calls to lakers favor. No news there. Btw, in the end of third when Lakers...

Jiipee, chill the F down. It's awkward af come here as bulls fan to blabber. Just enjoy of Lauri and calm down.

Pick or no pick, enjoy the ride. Key and The Finnisher won't be in Jazz forever.

I apparently slept in around 7pm and now I'm up around 3am so I guess I'll put some food cooking into the oven and wait for the game time. If Jazz somehow wins this and Lakers not shooting horribly, the tank will be officially dead. (But as we all know, anything can become undead as well)

One hypothetical question: what of Lauri is a paradigm shifting player and Jazz don't really need that top 5 player to contend? His gravitation in his size and style of play is more than any off ball player could offer, and in a really solid team, it could be historical, paradigm shifting. Jazz...

Jazz offense works too well now that Collier has getting it going as well. They either have to rest Key, Collier or Lauri if they won't trade Lauri.

*unfollowed* Gonna lose the pick...

I just want Lauri to posterize Vucevic again. I know it's posterizing in easy mode, but fun regardless.

Bump. I guess I'll have to sleep then. I'm Finnish so it's healthy after all.

The strategy might work if they could react after someone getting too hot from downtown, taking them out from open threes and maybe allow others shoot them until they get hot... Or if not, then react again. But the team has neither personnel or coach to draw good defense.

IDK. Every night new career high. You gonna deny roy from a guy that's gonna score 90 eventually?!

Hawks pressure on Jažz ball handlers on crunch time+ball denial on Lauri work really well. Ace is gonna be so good that you won't see Lauri getting moved before we see how this team works after the 3rd pick and off season deals. Ace shot looks nice and smooth.
