Really good finish to the half there. HB 3-5, Keegan 2-5, Huerter 2-3 from 3. Our offense is tough to stop when they got the stroke going like that.

Need the bench to step up though and not blow the lead again.
 
Hopefully Brown gives them a little pep talk so they don't play another quarter like that tonight. Or ever.
 
Lauri's biggest flaw over his career has been his defense. The way he's playing right now he's made a fool out of Chicago.
 
And Dirk was a legit go to. He had a legit unstoppable shot, a skyhook level fadeaway that he either hit or missed regardless of what the defender did. Lauri doesn't really have that but he's quicker probably.

Would have loved to see Prime Dirk in the modern NBA. Even old-man Dirk was able to last the first couple years of the Warriors revolution, but just got way too old to be able to hang on the floor. I can't imagine any of the "4" defenders being able to hang with him

The Scoring numbers are damn close. And I haven't specifically looked into advanced numbers, but I do know Lauri has popped like crazy in them all year.

Running an offense is what separates the real superstars from the rest these days. It's funny Markkanen is the lowest apg player out of the top 25 scorers. The top 10 is averaging no less than 4.1 apg.

Dirk and Peja both guys who were already all-stars in their era but would potentially be all-time greats if they had just come into the league ten years later than they did.
 
Comparing the white guy to a previous white guy is just lazy. Lauri is nothing like bird, except he’s an above average shooter and he’s white. Rashard Lewis a good comp.

Lewis isn't bad, but he didn't have the ability to finish on guys like Lauri. Wait, that sounds wrong.
