It's early, but Ochai has all the makings of an unremarkable 10 year career journeyman.

That's a solid player to have though.

I think he can be an extremely solid 3-and-D player.

we will have quotes

I never thought Lauri could carry us this much. He's an anti-tank missile

He’s incredible. Three-level scorer and super efficient. Gets his shot off anytime he wants to.

Yes what a shame. Gay and THT should be our tank commander.

I swear like two weeks ago people were questioning if Hardy was utilizing Markkanen properly.

I don’t think that’s true. I do remember a lot of us being pissed that Lauri wasn’t getting enough shots in the second half and 4th quarter specifically which was absolute true.

Oh... this morning was different to wake up.

Great!

 

[FrenchJazzFa]

11 Assist 0 TO for Mike, not bad for a semi retired player ....

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Next game is Lauri in Chicago too and Chicago sucks.

Will Lauri get 40 again?

I am always surprised by his stat lines because it never seems like he is playing that good. He runs the offense great for sure.

He will get worse in between now and then? You think he will get 9 points worse? Nah... he getting 50 ya bish.

Here is the question of the day: Are NAW, Dok, Bolmaro and Simone Ded?

 

[Jingled]

I am always surprised by his stat lines because it never seems like he is playing that good. He runs the offense great for sure.

Plus he has a great connection with Lauri on the pick and roll.

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

Ochai with a good game... tough defensive assignment but his first step is solid defender who hits shots... we can work our way out from there. Now do it again.

 

[Elizah Huge]

One thing I notice every night is how lean and ripped Lauri is. He looks like he’s in tremendous shape.

Chicago has Caruso though. If he goes with clamps there is fewer easy shots.

But Lauri is now even more confident and deciisive than the last game against the Bulls so I can see strong 30 and a win. I know tank losses are what is wanted by lot of folks but that can leave after that Bulls game. I want him shoot lights out.

Lauri is an All Star player, no doubt about it.

He seems to be leveling up consistently… will be mvp level by seasons end.
