If you can't enjoy this win for what it is – with no ifs, buts, irony, sarcasm, winks or passive-aggressive posts about keeping the pick while your main guy goes for 51 points... you're LOST.
This right here is the meaning of basketball.

I think he needs to go, he'll be stealing minutes off the Minivan when it returns from servicing.

remember last year teams tanking trying to capture the flagg by doing everything to lose but duck taping players feet together well golden goose Flagg tonight 31 minutes 2 points 2 rebounds yikes
If we're making verdicts one week into a guy's career, Ace is also a bust.
As was Wemby.
Great win! Loved watching it. Should have ended regular time though. Almost choked that one away, which is not good for development. Nice to see the guys engaged and trying unlike a huge chunk of last season.
I definitely don't want to see shameless hardcore tanking again and neither does the league. This team is too good to be bottom of the league. Kessler looks like an all-star and Lauri looks like an all-nba this year. It would be very dumb to trade them. I know our gambling addicts on here disagree though.
The young guys will improve across the season as well. George is looking good so far this season Ace was rough but he'll come along. We definitely shouldn't just force him minutes if he is playing like this, he needs to beat out Svi, which I think he can/will.
Lauri is looking like a #1 guy. He might not keep it up, but people are lying to themselves if they say he hasn't been that this season so far. His stats after 3 would put him towards the top of MVP list if he kept it up and we got guys on hear claiming he's playing like a #2 this year. He was also getting hammered non stop and refs could have legitimately called a foul half the possessions with him in. I'm hoping he stays healthy, this is fun to watch.

I keep coming back to this, but besides Steph, who’s actually better off the ball or draws more off-ball attention than Lauri? There were times when three Suns players committed to take away his back door cuts. I'm sure that as the season progresses, the rest of the team will learn to better capitalize on those moments. I really liked that Lauri kept on running non stop even if the initial action didn't yield any results.
Without a doubt, his playing style is absolutely exhausting.
