    Miikka "The Killer Rabbit of Carbaennog" Muurinen, you say?!

    Eurobasket 2025

    This game showed perfectly why Miro Little gets too many minutes. His defense was very off, and it should be his strength. The offense got lacky, when he got the ball. The other player with NCAA background and defensive identity, Oliver Nkamhoua (We call him Olli) also was worse in defense than...

    Eurobasket 2025

    Basketball hasn't been super popular, but the success of Lauri in NBA and constant EuroBasket representation of Team Finland last decade and more has started to increase the number of kids into the hobby. So, I think that the relatively small number of people into the sport more seriously, has...

    Eurobasket 2025

    I think Muurinen is definitely one guy Jazz needs to lock in for 2027. I have quite a strong fate in his both character and player profile. I don't say he's going to be an all star like Lauri, but if Jazz will trade Lauri at some point, he'd be not bad replacement. His defense will be better and...

    Eurobasket 2025

    Not bad but nothing flashy, solid D and simple things in offense, as his shot hasn't developed much thru years. We expect a lot few years ago in the start of his high school//college path, but he's not developed offensive identity as we hoped. At one point he was in the top of his age group of...

    Rumor says Lauri had a hangover. I heard it from my cat.

    Eurobasket 2025

    I welcome this reality check as a Lauri fan no 1 on this forum. We will see a more clear picture of the state of 2025-26 Lauri, when the actual EuroBasket tournament starts. He'll face better competition. The biggest test will of course be Germany in the group stage. Lithuania is also pretty...

    Eurobasket 2025

    Don't sell your house yet. This is team Finland in Lauri's hometown (usually they play these in Tampere or around Helsinki). Jazz again... Will be a tanking Jazz with full of rookies and young guys that want to prove themselves, and the league is full of good defenders that are advised to lock...

    Eurobasket 2025

    These poor teams are way too bad for Lauri, lol. Don't get me wrong, Lauri's shot looked fresh right from the start, which is always nice. He's gonna be an issue again in the Eurobasket, but I only hope our backcourt would be better. When there's gonna be tough teams, they're in trouble. Btw...

    I'm so ****ing pissed off right now

    You never don't have to worry about subbing out in the late game, if you're good enough to call it a game through the first three and half quarters. Gotta be better. Gotta do better.

    Jazz trade John collins

    Now do the Lauri trade. The only logical next step.

    Keeping Lauri seems increasingly pointless

    Lauri is as good as gone. Playing with mostly rookie deal guys will only keep his asset value sinking. There's no point for now to keep him. I expect two first rounders and salary fillers as teams will know this exact thing. Maybe Jazz will get someone decent young guy in a trade as well, and...

    Collin Sexton traded to Charlotte Hornets for Jusuf Nurkic

    This is stupid af. Collin isn't super valuable, because there's a lot of small scoring guards with awful defense... but this kind of trade makes almost fun of the poor guy, because he is still really damn efficient. F you Jazz office you suck.

    What war with Iran? It's special operation to protect American interests. Just like Putin over Ukraine. Is it that hard to understand? /S

    Will Lauri be traded on or before draft day?

    No. I've been saying for past two seasons Lauri will be traded earliest at 2026 trade deadline. Now that he had a bad season I'm even more certain about that. Originally my thought process was they want to see his fit with the 2025 pick and see if the new piece is a massively NBA ready and soon...

    All-Defensive team. Hmmmm ….

    Ahh... Well I'll be damned. I thought they have lost their mind and was so in the zone of recliner of rage, I completely forgot to check that out before lashing out!
