Good half. Very very close contest.

Giddey is awesome.

 

[bourbons]

Goorj got some stick for picking Daniels.

The guy has been very handy.

Yeah I'll put my hand up, didn't see it at all when he was selected.

Been huge.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Also

Duop sighted!!!

 

[The King!]

Geez Giddey has been good

 

[eddiesmith]

Those rooms are pretty small!!! Half them had to duck the whole way…

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Kay having a rough one, but I'd back him to fight back.

If Patty warms up...I'm just sayin...

 

[darcytiger]

If only Ben Simmons wasn’t such a bitch. We’d have an amazing team.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

If we maintain this margin at games end we win

Prove it.

 

[ExRoyboy]

Good first half, just need to cut down on the turnovers, a few too many that quarter.

Giddey and Daniels have both been awesome

 

[kaiserchief13]

Wonder if Giddey will perform like this for Chicago?

 

[RookiePick]

Canada won't go away. need to lift our 3pt% or it is going to add up over the second half.

SGA and Murray big threats. Feel like SGA in particular will lift as the time comes off the clock and hes not in danger with foul count.

 

[JP Sauce]

The breakdancing final is happening at half time of the basketball, for those watching on Stan.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

If only Ben Simmons wasn’t such a bitch. We’d have an amazing team.

Meh...Canucks missing Wiggins, and a half arse Wiggins is twice the player Simmons is.

 

[ExRoyboy]

Kay having a rough one, but I'd back him to fight back.

If Patty warms up...I'm just sayin...

Yeah we just need Patty to fire up and we will pull ahead I think. We need a few more threes to drop. Try and get an extra couple of fouls on Shai would be handy as well.

The lock down D would be huge on this team.

In other news, has Simmons released the annual 'look at me hitting 3s at training camp' video?

 

[JT_the_Man]

Wonder if Giddey will perform like this for Chicago?

If they let him have the keys, then yes.

When Shai was out he did this for the Thunder.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Just gotta let anyone other than SGA beat us.

Dort, RJ, Murray and Brooks are all streaky shooters at best.....if make their shots, then so be it.

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Wonder if Giddey will perform like this for Chicago?

Only White sharing the ball with him. If Giddey becomes a league average shooter he could be a 20-8-7 kinda guy.

Not sure it would make a different if we keep this up, already going at 57%fg, absolutely bonkers.

Only White sharing the ball with him. If Giddey becomes a league average shooter he could be a 20-8-7 kinda guy.

Lonzo getting healthy is the main query, but I have doubts that happens.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Shai is the one I’m worried about, had a bit of that look in his eyes at half time. He won’t want to lose to Giddey…

 

[Gift]

If Patty warms up...I'm just sayin...

Hard with Dort and Nembhard as his matchups. Just needs to pick and choose his moments. Total trust in Giddey

 

[40porpoise]

Giddey being able to hit the fiba 3 ball all of a sudden is changing our game.

Still feel though like we need more Reath and less Kay and Magnus

 

[ExRoyboy]

Wonder if Giddey will perform like this for Chicago?

Wouldn’t surprise me if he did. He is going to have the ball a lot and will play a lot more minutes than he did in OKC this year. I think he could average up around 20 points a game and around 8 assists. These Olympics will also be helping him get his confidence back after how last season ended

 

[Jacks Seething Rage]

Lonzo getting healthy is the main query, but I have doubts that happens.

I think Chi trading their only genuine asset for Giddey shows what they think of Lonzo's prospects.
