Oh, the game was so sweet… ❤
We really took advantage of slow Jokic defending..
lauri has the potential to be a top 5 player in the nba if the coaches properly use his assests, and build the team around him to compliment it. Dirk 2.0
Muurinen is projected as a 2026 lotto pick, and actually has UofU among his final schools. Would be awesome to see him choose the school near Lauri.
All the Finnish surenames seem to have the ”nen”-postfix. Its pretty hard to explain what it means. Something like either of something or having a lot of something.
Muuri==Wall
Markka==Finnish Mark, old currency before Euro
Valto== Directly doesnt mean anything, but apparently it does mean the same as ”Valta”, which means Power, as in a political Power or Kignship.
Poor Hoops Nerd getting another cold so fast from just having one I think. Get better soon
Yeah but will Lauri stay with the Jazz and if he does will play much. Probably not!
Miikka Muurinen is projected to be a top 5 pick in the 2027 draft. Love the show btw.
