Loved that 1989 Illinois team with Stephen Bardo, Kendall Gill, Kenny Battle, Nick Anderson… bunch of 6’6” guys who could defend every position. Lost to a great Michigan team on a tip in to end the semifinal game that year. Glen Rice, Loy Vaught, Sean Higgins, Rumeal Robinson!

He's like PJ Tucker without any of the motor, basketball IQ, or ability to hit a three.

People told me he’s a younger PJ. Some people said an upgrade to PJ.

OKC is using the "chaotic wall" to defend Giannis. 3 random players surrounding him every time he touches the ball. No coordination, no care about anyone else at all. It's so easy to exploit it. Just 1-2 passes and they are broken.

People were wrong. People were VERY wrong.

At least PJ had the sense to not shoot it unless he was totally wide open in the corner. Some of the pulls from Semi have been just stupid shots.

Should really be up 20 but instead we played like idiots for the last 2 minutes.

I was always under the impression he was a solid rotation player when I saw him on the Celtics. I didn't expect much from the signing, but I certainly didn't expect this. Surprised, but not in the way I had hoped. I hate when Celtics fans are right.

Yikes those last few minutes. Why don’t we play Grayson more. He’s really good

I thought Giddey was going to be a halftime show country singer.

Half time isn't over yet. Kid could be anything.

We've reached a point where I find myself relatively surprised that Pat only has a couple of points half way through.

He prefers late 4th quarter clutch shots.

I never think SGA's jumpers are going in.

I'm sure it's driving some junior coaches in OKC crazy who are trying to teach kids to square their shoulders and then they watch SGA play.

I'm guessing Dort's contacts list in his phone just has

Hope we are able to sit Giannis out for the majority of this second half. Really tough when we don’t have the depth tonight, but it’s the Thunder and we’re nearly up 20.

They are honestly doing a great job on Giannis. Although I'm not sure he looks quite right.

blazza18 · Post #80 » by **blazza18** » Sat Nov 20, 2021 2:32 am

Giannis isn't sweating at all but he's been mostly eh tonight.
