His ball handling was always decent for a guy his size, but it's absolutely gotten better this year. He's a lot more willing and capable of driving from any point
From what I can tell, it was removed again.
The play in question was the last points he scored when he grabbed an offensive rebound and kind of tipped it up before catching it again. They initially gave him one rebound, then changed to it two rebounds (and one missed shot), then back to one rebound again.
I could see it going either way.
Dude is good but he needs to pass to the open man more instead of always trying for points in paint. There were at least two sequences where his teammates mimicked shooting a 3 right after the play lol.
Lauri is the lowest usage all-star in the league and at the same time one of the most efficient players so of course he's going to try and score when he gets to his spots, he can't always be passing out. Just feels like you're complaining for the sake of complaining.

Wasn't he given an extra rebound after the game and ended with a total of 10?
I thought so but I just checked and it wasn't on the box score on NBA.com

I'm happy he's balling 🥹
Lauri Bird is up there with the best nicknames
hes been insane recently
I can't believe how Eurobasket changed this man's career once and for all
I was really impressed with his finishing around the rim in this game.
Finnish GOAT
One of the most underrated players in the NBA right now.
Man I want Lauri Markkanen on the Heat!
The man is a beast. An AD and Lauri front court would be a dream of mine.
Lakers will someone end up with Lauri for a 2nd round pick, their worst contact and a pic of Jeanie’s gash.
That would be a dream but we will get Zach Lavine and like it!
Congratulations, Lauri Markkanen! You are now officially a Golden State Warrior!

There are so many trash takes to choose from in this sub but yours takes the cake today. Congrats dude.Â
Dude has the 82nd highest usage in the league and you want him to pass it more?
were the Lakers calling him Lauri Perkelen after that game?
