Man beat the allegations but still cant get over it in the court of public opinion, you give power to those who falsely accuse people of heinous crimes
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.
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.
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
@@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.
@@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.
@@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
Healthy Luka is near automatic on those floaters. Luka is not 100 percent, otherwise he'd be dropping a 30-50 pt triple double on very efficient numbers every game.
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.
@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.

Yeah, this shit wasn't funny eight months ago, and your version of it is ultra lame because this shitty "joke" has been made 567,342 time already. Try harder. Jesus.
Im gonna be real, I didnt come into the series hating the thunder but they out here showing thier ass on national tv. Trying to injure luka, the flopping, running around with your arms out trying to hack a shaq when your only down 5 points with plenty of time left? Like how bout the "number 1 seed" in the west go make some buckets instead of being bitchmade.
Rusty I love your content and I'm still gonna watch cause I'm a big fan but you can't be dropping recaps when the next games in the series are already going on 😭
If nuggets win in 6 that jokic video will look crazy in hindsight, I can’t believe the media narratives that formulate out of nowhere for a potential top 10 player of all time.
It wasn’t out of nowhere, no one expected Denver to get their ass beat in the first two games at home. But yeah ppl def wrote the nuggets off too early
Okc has been shopping Josh giddy since it became clear he wasn't getting any better then his rookie year The problem is to get anything for him he has to show he's worth a 2nd round pick😮
They’re not playing into the idea that TJ is a playoff rider. This is normal TJ! Nobody but Pacers fans know it. Every fan base thinks he only plays good against them.
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

@@T1Oracleshe was in an over 21 club. He had 0 reason to believe that she was lying to him, it’s crazy how bro was borderline manipulated and people still blame him.
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
Ik maybe because of egos it might be tough but I would cut Hayward and Giddey out of the rotation. If you wanted to not do a 8 man rotation you could possibly give kendrich williams some run
Sorry this is such a casual take from you. He provides size, defense. And really good playmaking/ball movement. They have enough scoring between Chet, SGA, and JDub.
@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.
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?
Imagine if Okc will lose the series scoring more points over all because the first blowout win. It look pretty likely. I for one hope okc loses. Mavs in 6. Or 5. Ok, 7 works too.
I hope Josh gets traded to a team where his impact will be greater than at OKC. It is obvious that the scrutiny on Josh is much greater than any other player on the roster.
They don’t pass him the ball enough! They all icing him out cause he got the girl they wanted 😂 These athletes and stars have a type. Let this man have more than a “minor” role on the team.
Let's get this straight. Luka had a bad offensive game. I'm shocked no one is talking about how insane he's been on the defensive end. Yes, he's defending the other team's worst offensive player but his close outs have been on point. He blocked a Chet Holmgreen 3 pointer for God sake!
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.
It's easy to say stop playing Giddey, but there are stretches - especially the last two fourth quarters where Shai can not play make. She is just not as good a play maker as you want your #1 guy to be in the modern NBA. Giddey helps with that but it does come at a cost.
Warned yall about them Nuggets shocking the world. They play best when the world doubts them. They are scary when they are underdogs and push overs as favorites. Its all about sports psychology and we gotta see how these Timberwolves respond to getting pantsed and spanked in front of their home crowd. See if they got that same grit but even if they do these Nuggets will not be an easy out.
Don't know if you'll see this, Jacob, but i appreciate how much effort you put into this video. I know it's literally your job to talk about basketball but, especially for a second channel, this belies a lot of dedication and passion
The mavs have gotten in okc’s head a bit. The thunder especially in the 4th seem to either look for the perfect shot or shai tries to bait a cheap foul instead of getting to his spot and shooting the middy. 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.

Josh giddy is making a minor impact on okc rotation
💀💀💀
I'm dead
At least he is striking a chord
Bruh
these jokes will forever be funny 😂😂
Josh Giddey is actually great. He just plays in wrong era. He could have been like Karl Malone if he played in 90s.
You had me in the first half
Karl and Josh could have been the best duos in NBA history.

Put giddey next to malone and they would be the most dangerous duo in the court and near the school zone
