    Its only 2,5 halves but Key moves ball well and tries in defense, Kessler with improved shot, Lauri makes good plays and faster decisions with the ball gaining him some real nice passes. If those three guys keep doing this, you can't secure the pick w/o blatant tanking. Of course Jazz has been...

    Didn't I tell y'all this is going to be the most unexpected 60 win season of the history, huh?

    Are you rooting for the playoffs this season?

    I'm always rooting for winning. But if the record after 50 games is not such that they'd be likely to make top 6, tank hard. Very unlikely scenario though. Probably it's gonna be a steady season of 3-7 kind of ten game sets with all the inexperience and defensive woes in the backcourt.

    Jazz starters executed offensive plays really well..Interesting to see how it will look like in regular season games where defenses try harder and the ball pressure is stronger. Very good clean looks and a lot of them.

    Last good song you listened to?

    One of the best albums, La symphonie des éclairs (Orchestral Odyssey), I've heard in a long time was released few weeks ago. In this album, Zaho reinvents her songs with the support of orchestral musicians, and the end result is truly a worth of your time. Synths, Orchestral arrangements and...

    Ace Bailey Hype thread

    I saw an opinion in Finnish bball discussion that Ace's early glow up would make Lauri trade more likely, but I think it'd be counterintuitive. Wouldn't this be exactly what they want? Especially as there's no immediate cap relieve pressure to fit the main pieces from rookie deal guys under the cap.

    "Reports say Jazz very open to trade Lauri." "Reports say Jazz really not looking for to trade Lauri" Schrodinger's trade. Nevertheless, he is "injured" again so aside this game, I'm on Shams bomb watch.

    Looking at the injury list, Jazz is setting their alibi for upcoming hard tanking. "Look, we see, it does look bad how many key guys are sitting out... But hey, they were having issues already to begin the season."

    If the Jazz are better than expected it's because...

    It needs noticeable jump in development from several of the rookie deal guys. But, if Keynote explodes and teams have to treat him like the 1st option. You all know what it means for the production of Lauri, he's much better as 2nd option, like he was a huge proportion of his All star season...

    The only certainty is that Lauri and Walker will start. Keynote very likely per reports we've been getting from off-season. He's gonna have improved shot but will be seen if his defensive effort and court vision has taken any jump.

    LOL, no, team Finland doesn't have to start changing tons of things. Aside the group stage game against Germany, they at least had some punchers chance in some point of every game. Our success against bigger teams will be a lot about making their threes, but the quality just isn't there like it...

    Lauri has been in a total trash mode again. It feels he doesn't have any fire. Instead of dunking when a clear chance, he too often chooses to take slightly contested shots with a list touch to score, hopes for a whistle and looks bummed if not getting one Say goodbye for any wishes to get...

    Yeah, he absolutely didn't need to. Their best run was on third quarter when Lauri was resting. Of course first five minutes were fine with him, before Germany got their things together and picked apart any defensive schemes we had. Schröder is one smart cookie adapting to defensive plans

    Considering the importance of this game, this is the worst game Lauri has ever played Bricking shots, slow in defense, effs up good looks by taking steps. Absolutely horrific. It might be a turning point here. If Lauri don't perform in Team Finland, it's super worrying. Has two years of...
