I went to the Sacramento game... Lauri warmed up and was dunking and stuff. I think he is playing along a little. Bet he misses the last 2 or so... get him a few more now to ensure he doesn't get screwed on all nba.Lauri is playing at a level where you can’t shut him down without having him be rightfully pissed at the franchise for it.
We probably still lose... I think part of it is he's just competitive... but another part is he doesn't want to be shut down yet since he is under consideration for all nba. We want him to get it as well as it opens up some contract extension possibilities. We may sit him against SA to give ourselves a chance to lose maybe.
Fo Sho... I thought this was a road game for some reason... well I will say its a toss up. At least Dallas doesn't look dead... I just think 9 or 10 is the best we can hope.I think we still lose but I've thought that quite a few times this season and been proven wrong, most recently against the Kings and Celtics last week. Suns also aren't playing great right now, having lost 6 of their last 8.
To be fair, that happened like every other game late last season.Having PHX in SLC is giving me flashbacks to last year when we built a huge lead only for them to turn it up in the 4th and take our soul Shang Tsung style. Felt like we were helpless to it all.
*Should have said continues to play well. He's been looking decent for a while now.Tht is playing well again. Sun's announcers commenting on how he used to be a walking turnover but has improved greatly. It will be interesting to see what happens to him and his option. My bet is he turns it down and looks for a bigger pay day, but I think this has been an ideal situation for him.
