JOSH GIDDEY VS CLIPPERS FILM THREAD: Another great game from Giddey. Had a poor first half but came alive in the 4th quarter where he showed poise and aggressiveness down the stretch. He finished with 15pts, 5rebs and 7asts. (1/8) #NBATwitter #ThunderUp

@KeithSmithNBA We just gave up our best asset, it better be something good.

So, we know that OKC is involved in this trade (because of course they are!), but we don't know what they are getting. Am I all caught up after school dropoff?

@Sam_Vecenie Ball was in the front court, resets to 14.

I was also wondering this. I'm not like, 100% with international rules so I didnt want to immediately call it out as a mistake. But Giddey misses the FT, Germany gets the ball, has possession, then Schroder turnover. That should re-set to a full shot clock, right?

@ThunderFocus They may have messed that one up

I’m so confused. If it’s during substitution maybe makes sense if you call a timeout why on earth can’t you sub back in?

That’s the most stupid rule I’ve ever seen THEY CALLED A TIMEOUT

@CAlmanza1007 any idea where I can get a boxscore?

A driving layup for Giddey! Really great 2Q by him continues

@KeithSmithNBA To clarify, the Kings 34.8M of space isn't taking into account a cap hold for Banres? So Barnes' contract will take up part of that 34.8M if he is brought back?

Some minor cap space projection updates: 1 Rockets: $60.9M 2 Spurs: $38.6M 3 Kings: $34.8M 4 Pacers: $30.4M 5 Jazz: $28.4M 6 Pistons: $26.3M 7 Magic: $23.9M 8 Thunder: $16.6M Everything is still very fluid. Things will lock in a bit more after today's option deadline passes.

The play-in rotation for the Thunder should look like..?

38,388 Points 0 Morals 0 Values 0 Principles 0 Empathy 1 Bow Down to #China Congratulations to @KingJames

The playoffs might be back on the menu for OKC. Check out our path to postseason basketball on @WTLC

I wrote about what I think of Ousmane Dieng’s potential, check it out! @WTLC

Today: If the Thunder beat the Hali-less Pacers, the Wolves lose to the first seed Nuggets and the Jazz lose to the Clippers...the Thunder would be the 8th seed and would host a play-in game if the season ended today. They also have the easiest remaining schedule. Without Chet.

The Thunder currently sit 1 game behind the play-in. If the Lakers and Blazers lose tonight it will only be 0.5 games. Make a push.

@OKCobstinacy I think Giddey has had the 3rd best sophomore season out of anyone from the 2021 class. But yes, there's still a few guys you'd take over him in a redraft.

Yo. Anybody hear Simmons say he might take Giddey 3rd in a 2021 redraft? Behind Mobley and Franz. That is OUTRAGEOUS. And I say that as a Thunder fan.

@_Talkin_NBA It was Dedmond, not a fan

Biggest knock against Josh Giddey compared to the other top rookies in his class was his 3 point shot. Giddey has a higher 3PT% this season than Jalen Green, Franz Wagner, Cade Cunningham, Scottie Barnes, Jalen Suggs, Jonathan Kuminga, Evan Mobley, Alperen Sengun and Herb Jones.
