Some Lauri haters popping up here is funny. He had a great tournament and led his 10th-ranked team to the semifinals. His shot didn’t fall in some of the games, but he created a lot of open shots and lanes for his teammates in every game. Germany was impressive with their coaching and teamwork...

I thought Lauri played quite well against Germany. He received intense defensive pressure throughout the game and had to take tough shots. Tomorrow, he'll be facing Giannis, who didn’t have a good game (12 pts, 5 TOs, –30) against Turkey. Like Lauri, he was guarded heavily

Pablo keeping his foot on the gas. Circumstantial evidence is piling up. Stinks worse and worse for the Clippers.

I don't think Ballmer would make such a call. I don't think he has left any hard evidence against him.

Or could Ballmer just have called Aspiration and said, " I’ll invest 50 mil in your company if you make a 28 mil endorsement deal with Kawhi?" Whatever, Uncle Dennis probably has his fingers in this pie. It turns out he tried to make similar "no show" endorsement deal arrangements for Kawhi when...

Yeah, I’m skeptical as well. Uncle Dennis is the funnest dude here. Wouldn’t surprise me if he demanded Ballmer to arrange a big endorsement deal for Kawhi, and then Ballmer said, OK, let me see what I can do. Then he gave 50 million to Aspiration and asked someone to tell them that this money...

I enjoyed reading your reporting, Tony. You think you’ll be able to focus on the Sixers? You’re still gonna be hooked on the Jazz.

Yes, Ballmer appears confident that he has left no paper trails or unsilenced lips behind. But he'll be sweating for the next few months because when the NBA investigates why the deal between Kawhi and Aspiration was kept secret (never announced, etc.) (and why it included a clause stating that...

Yeah, in that interview, Ballmer said pretty much everything I thought he would say, but when he was asked why Aspiration would pay Kawhi 28 million to do nothing, that’s where he started to stumble. That Cuban's defense is incredibly weak imo.

Here’s an article that digs deeper into this thing...

Why didn’t that young Muurinen guy play for Finland today? Is he hurt? I like him. A hard-nosed kid. A pest on defense.

Looks like you’re confused or something about this. Even though basketball coaches and team stat folks sometimes use per 36 min stats to compare bench players, they rarely use them for other things. They use advanced stats instead. That’s because per 36 min stats leave out many important factors...

I had to laugh when I saw this. We have a bit of good news for the Jazz, and sure enough, Jazznik, one of the most negative posters around here, comes out and spits out his wisdom.

Looks like Lauri is heating up over in Europe. Those stats again in just 24 minutes. And 19/20 on free throws. Impressive. Learning to get to the free-throw line was a big part of Shai’s (and many others’) rise to the top. It’s about time Lauri learns those tricks.
