I know all rookies are bad at defense but he looks dizzy out there.

He's going to be a Jazz all timer. Someone should make a thread about that. . .
In the end, we got it done.

Viva la tank. We got that tank mentum for the second half. Great game by Flip.

Svi dunk in the overtime was one of the highlights of the season!

That was another frustrating performance from Lauri at the end of the game. He entered at 7 minutes left in the forth and stayed on the court all game (And yeas, I understand that it was the end of the back-to-back and he was tired but so was everyone else on the Jazz and on the Clippers). The Clippers went small and Lauri and Flip had an obvious size advantage. In 7 minutes remaining in the 4th Lauri went 2-3 for 4 points and in 5 minutes in OT 1-4 for 2 points. No rebounds, no assists, no steals, 3-7 for 6 points in 12 minutes.
He was the only max player on the floor, had a distinct height and strength advantage, and he produced ... like a regular solid starter. This was one of his best game endings. Meanwhile the leaders on the Clips, Powell and Harden, simply took over the game and carried their team to the victory.
I want our max player to be like them but I don't see it.

He's never been great on ball player and probably never will. What he was for last two seasons was absolutely the best or top three off ball players in the league. If he just shoots like he used to do, in a contender, he can rack up his all star averages again. And when the Jazz get their number one, they can't be on his skin this much. Now on the wage... Well the market value was there, and they couldn't had him very much cheaper. The contract was made so his final season is much cheaper (only 22% off the cap vs. this 30%. If he's still a Jazz man at that point, it means Jazz are a playoff team ,have found their no1, and Lauri's wage will be about just what it should be for elite 3rd option/good 2nd option.
