As it seems that you are a bit salty towards us Finns, lets rub it in. The direct translation of Jazzinho from Finnish to English is Jazz-disgust. ;)

But yeah, this was a cold cold night for Lauri. Then again, mind-blowingly, this was close to Lauri's career average before the time with Jazz. That is if you disregard the inefficiency.

I think I called it out after trade dead-line that as this team is, its a .40 team the rest of the season. Im sticking with that. Regarldess what the fans want, the team will do everything they can to get in play-in. I am on-board the idea that tanking would be the sensible thing to do at this point. Even if I fcking hate tanking.

The one and only good thing that ever came out of Bull's tanking was that Kilpatrick got the nickname Killdraftpick. :D

It means small-jazz where I come from. And I'm not salty at all. Many of the new Finn posters were a great addition to Jazzfanz, my comment was out of curiosity, would Lauri be smashed or defended by the Finns?! And from what I've seen here he was massacred, lol.
Every single player of any professional sport will eventually have a night off, NBA is even harsher on its players with so many games per season.
IMO Lauri had a night off on offense but never stopped trying on the other side, got a few stops and crucial rebounds on the 4th and that is what matters for winning. He is on a slump, but is our best player by a mile and should be playing if we're trying to win.

He never stopped trying on the offensive side either. I wonder how many shots he had blocked, must've been 5-10. A lot of those was probably very close to a foul, and all of a sudden his game would've looked dramatically different. I liked what I saw, really. He missed, but he stayed aggressive and he never quit trying.

We should have lost this game the way THT played hero ball

This is a pretty **** take considering we lose if THT doesn’t go nuts. I didn’t see this as hero ball at all. Was two boards away from a triple double and had 10 assists. Dude was in the zone, why wouldn’t he shoot if they ain’t stopping him. How about giving him credit for having a monster game. No one is saying to max him out or anything. After a game like this there is however cause for excitement for a young player with talent.

um I did give him credit, for what was done. You giving him unjustifiable homerish praise is your problem. He cannot do that against good teams

You don’t think that performance and the things he did doesn’t deserve a bit of homer praise? He’s only 22 years old with a ceiling as high as the moon if he can only put it together. I never said he was a star or would be one. But he certainly could be a great rotational player.

Finns have so few great int. athletes we tend to go overboard in good or bad at times lol. But we all want good for him. And to be honest - to this team overall - it has good rand of basketball. I can not say felt same with the Bulls bc that organisation was so incompetent. I just wanted all the good dudes get traded and out of there.

Yep, I agree pretty much on everything you say. This Finnish mentality that is seen here after this game is something I really don't like. As you said, cold games happen to the best of them.

We need to appreciate the fact it was not just a cold night but THE coldest game of this season among players taken 20 or more FGA's in a game. :D

I do not mean this as a slander but just an interesting trivia considering his incredible season. Almost feels like he needs to get into top of all the lists lol.
