There is speculation that he was intentionally trying to get tossed to wake up his team, and the refs didn’t want to oblige!

Not sure how to post the video without the link …
You’re not alone, so here’s a quick explanation
1. Go to the YouTube page and clip the address

2. Click on the YouTube button directly above the text box

3. Then cut the identifier out and stick it between the two YouTube’s. The identifier will be everything after the = sign (JJkL4MVWGAI).

Very interesting.

I don’t care who we end up playing.

Assuming we win the Denver series.

They did not play very well tonight though, Kyrie was awful and Luka was average and they still got beat.
Is Andrew WIggins not even the best Wiggins in the league anymore?

Giddey is unplayable right now. You cannot have a non shooting wing that other teams can completely ignore. We tried it with Kyle and he was unplayable. What changed is he devolved a mid range and long paint shot, as well as increased his play making. Kyle is larger and has more versatility than Giddey, and even then does not play starter minutes when avoidable. Aaron Wiggins is what most bench guys are “inconsistent.” One game he will drain three 3s and look great. The next he will be 0-5 and look terrible. Bench guys tend to play better at home, Wiggins is more likely to struggle in Dallas, and is therefore not a good answer for game 3 or game 4. I wonder if the promote Cason Wallace or Kenrich Williams to the starting lineup full time and shrink the rotation?

Giddey is shooting 41% from 3 on 1.5 makes in the playoffs and Wiggins is shooting 46% from 3 and shot 49% from 3 in the regular season. He's clearly the better Wiggins right now.
We'll see what adjustments OKC makes.
They only had 2 players average 30 MPG in the regular season, Shai and Jalen WIlliams.
They haven't been afraid to run a deep rotation in the playoffs and over a 7 game series, their guys are going to be fresher because of it. I don't know if its so much lost trust in Giddey as it is constantly throwing fresh defenders at Luka and Kyrie (a strategy we are employing ourselves against Murray and Jokic).
