Jazz’s record & Lauri Markannen with 31 points? :wtf:What a weird beginning to the season so far.
Lauri has shown he can be a bucket since his rookie season breh.

He's got some years of experience in the league now, and he's on a team where there are no expectations. I'm not surprised he's getting off. Their record is surprising tho

Jim Boylen damn near ruined his career. Plus he kept getting injured. EuroBasket was good for his confidence and last season with Cavs helped him become a better defender.

It's interesting to see what happens with Utah if they just keep winning games. Markkanen can't be traded before October 31st and they still have like 4-5 games before that.

I already covered this…


Knowing Ainge he’s getting their trade value up.

Heck I know Portland wants Vanderbilt.

And you can’t tell me teams don’t players like sexton and clarkson
We know what they are.

We also know they have a 29-30 win projection. shyt, FiveThirtyEight had Utah winning 36 games with this roster.

Like I said Pacers won by trading Sabonis for Haliburton. Dude just playing his game while Sabonis looks defeated and a complete black hole on defense. And he looked really bad in Eurobasket this year so definitely add in a fatigue factor.

Yep, he looked great under Hoiberg. I never liked how they fired Fred after how that season started. Literally had multiple starters out, and they got him outta there before Lauri even was available.

Boylen was arguably the worst coach in the NBA at the time which didn't help anyone. Really lost years of development when he was coaching the team.
