If healthy, Lonzo Ball will help a team win a title one day. I hope that’ll be in Chicago. His IQ is elite just like J Giddey.


That right there. I doubt he'll be fully healthy again. I do believe he can help a team, especially in a limited role but I doubt it will be in Chicago.

So how will The Giddler respond to his first let down game and playing against his former team?

Bet Caruso guards him.

We will be huge underdogs so I dont expect a win or even be close.

But Giddey needs a big bounce back game regardless. He knew he played bad against the Mavs. The guys that are great are the somes that can take a bad game and use it as fuel to come out the next game on a mission.

Yes that is very disrespectful nickname. No that says that online has any good intentions.

Gonna be hard to have a true bounce back game against that OKC defense. The bench might emptied early in the 4th. Just a decent game would be an improvement over that effort last night. All the media attention over that game winning shot must gotten to him. Definitely didn’t seem ready to play. Learning experience.

OKC in OKC should represent the toughest game in the season for a guy like Giddey (or Coby for that matter) to be successful. They have elite defenders everywhere. I wouldn't be overly concerned if he struggled next game, instead I would be pleasantly surprised if he excels. I would want him to be back to his recent form for each other game after that though.

Hahaha. You guys are something else. My middle school son came up with it during one of the games. He knows nothing of The Riddler or online creepers.

Kinda sad how a kid can’t even have a nickname for someone now without getting heat online.

I guess it’s the non creepy non associated with the riddler… Giddler in our house then.

I think that may have been some it.

Think it had more to do with being defended by bigger athletic PFs that he couldn’t overpower, get around, or shoot over. I’m hoping this is not the way to shut him down. Mavs played AD Kai Jones and PJ. Biggest frontline in the league by far. Naji came off the bench and was all over him.

I can tell you that your son didn't come up with it and it's been online for a while and it's in reference to his off the court issue.

One bad game in the last like 15 and now he’s exposed. I was waiting for a comment like this.

Yep. Look at any post social about Giddey or an opposing team’s game thread and “Giddler” is just about guaranteed to come up and not in an endearing way.

Kobe literally physically forced him on a woman and everyone still loves him. Giddey gets deceived and is a social media pariah.

Where did I say exposed?

Teams are adjusting to him. It’s normal. Now he has to adjust to their adjustment.

I'd rest our guys and get them healthy. We aren't making 8th place at the end of the season.
