Thunder are probably not trying to break Giddey confidence, hes still a young player with a ton of potential. If he completely loses all minutes that could wreck him and destroy his development.

[@davidhusari2739]

ok but id rather do that than play him and lose to the mavs. the thunder can contend for a championship right now, i don’t care about his confidence at this point. Plus OKC has a million picks over the next few years, if his development is really wrecked then you can just draft another guy

[@ctoaun23]

​​@@davidhusari2739Pretty much yeah. And he's only 21, if he's good enough he'll get better and get more playoff minutes another year. That said, he was only a -1 in game 3, definitely not the reason they lost.

[@davidhusari2739]

@@ctoaun23 he’s not the reason that they lost because he only played 9 minutes. If they played him more, that plus/minus would’ve plummeted. Rusty’s right. Cut him out of the rotation. The mavs are getting away with playing big because they can just leave giddey open.

[@T1Oracle]

Speaking of wrecking someone's development... 🫤

[@baseupp12]

@@davidhusari2739 like you said their contending now though, drafting someone completely new to insert into a championship contender almost never works, you instead want to have your role players like Giddey to develop something better because they already know how your system works and already knows how to fit with their teamates

[@kingoffedoras9932]

The 1 thing OKC could easily do is move Giddey to the bench in a backup role, and replace him with Wallace, or Wiggins, or even Kenrich Williams. Let him be the ball handler in the 2nd unit, and run the offense, cause he clearly isn't a catch and shoot guy.

[@CahlilWesson]

Everyone is dealing with some form of injury or fatigue after the regular season 🤷‍♂️ stop making excuses fort the guy every time he has some bad games, hate on him the same way guys like Embiid get hated on for being injured in the post season lolol.

[@bigred9991]

​@meh7348 Luka is clearly hobbled. He's bleeding from one knee. The other knee is sprained, and swollen, and thanks to Dort his ankle is sprained as well. The difference between Embiid and Luka injury history is Luka has missed a handful of games throughout his career and only missed 2 playoff games for his career. I'm not going to list how many games embiid has missed for the regular season or post-season because it's to much to list. See where I'm going from this.

When I played ball my coach would yell at me if I didn't get at least one foul every half. As the defensive anchor its my job to bring the energy and test the boundaries of the whistles that game because every game is different. No one on that wolves team was the engine and instead of pushing boundaries just started shrinking and whining at the whistles. Wolves gotta change that next game.

[@CaptainProx]

If I had to pick, I’d probably have Aaron Wiggins starting over Giddey. He’s an excellent shooter like Joe and Cason Wallace but he’s also an excellent cutter, very effective at at putting the ball on the floor, and is a great finisher around the basket

[@Silverado-pq6xe]

should they not have given up..?? i dont understand this comment

[@jonathanhay3212]

​@Silverado-pq6xe He said the Knicks were a couple of shots going their way away from winning and they should just run the same strategy back. The fact that they got bounced out before the 4th quarter means their strategy got completely destroyed.

[@yungtago9161]

Think it's also worth mentioning how disappointing Gordon Hayward has been for OKC. Thought he could be a really solid 15 ppg wing who can shoot and attack off the catch, but he's pretty much been invisible since he got to OKC

[@ChristianReardon-ti2ez]

Lineup looks fresh rusty!

[@_itsJV]

I don't mind who wins in the playoff (as long as it's not the Knicks), but it is pretty annoying you only cover certain teams, at that point it's no different than major sports media that only cover their teams. The 1 seed hasn't had their own video and it's almost the conference finals, the Mavs are actual contenders and are also barely mentioned. The one time OKC makes the thumbnail is after an embarrassing loss, wtf. But we still have to get our Jokic glaze, because no one in the media is doing that right?

Rust 110% right about Giddey. Bro is a straight liability out there. Hes just really not good in general, and especiallyyy not built for the physicality of the playoffs. Hes a poor defender and a god-awful 3pt shooter. You can see the frustration from SGA/JWill towards Giddey, like bro contribute *something* , anything. His fanfuel over/under for points was 6.5. Dawg! 6.5! As a starting point guard. For the alleged best coach in the NBA this year, hes handicapping his own team w Giddey. And they got a super deep bench too! Its not like they the Knicks out here. They got Wiggins/Joe/JDubb , sheesh ill even take Hayward over him. Hes got good size & high IQ. I am being dead serious when I say I have no clue what Giddey contributes to this team.

The mavs have gotten in okc’s head a bit.

Also i find it rich that dallas fans complain about shai and lu dort flopping while luka out here auditioning for Brodway. No hate dallas is really good but i think that’s hypocritical for sure. Have fun if Minnesota defeats Denver if lu is this much of an issue should be a good game 4 regardless but i think dallas pulls it off as a thunder fan if im honest.
