Well…Josh Giddey finally got relegated to the second unit pretty much like I said he should have been several months ago, but instead of replacing Giddey with Aaron Wiggins… Coach Mark went with Isaiah.
Why? Nobody asked that question in this presser? Not one question on why Isaiah?
On my ten player rating list from yesterday….eight of the ten players are two way players…two are one way players in my view…Josh and Isaiah.
I actually thought Giddey handled his new role pretty well scoring 13 points in eleven minutes, but why doesn’t Aaron Wiggins ever get rewarded with a larger role?
Would that be too much for Little Nick Gallo to ask at a Thunder Kid’s Club post game presser?
Sigh.
Basically… when you shoot 10-40 from beyond the arc you’re not going to beat anybody minus the the Washington Wizards or the Detroit Pistons.
Here’s a question I would have asked.
Is J Dub hurt or is he just scared to attack Gabbard and Lively at the rim?
Dub where are you? Phone home with your pretty little astronaut costume on, buddy. Shai needs you. Caution..the next sentence is why I got banned at the Daily Thunder. J Dub….suck it up and attack the f–king rim and give Shai some help and quit playing like the most overrated pussy in this series.
I feel better and I won’t ban myself although Thunder Girl from the Daily Thunder wanted me to ban myself on my own blog one time.
Sigh.
The Mavs are just better. Their GM did his job at the trade deadline and Anal Sam Presti didn’t.
The Mavs added PJ Washington and Daniel Gabbard who have both been awesome for the Mavs since the deadline.
Anal Sam Presti added Gordon Hayward and Bismarck Byombo. Are you serious?
These are the NBA Playoffs…the real season.
The truth of the matter is this series should have ended tonight and would have if Dallas had made their free throws in Game 4.
Coach Mark, dude…here’s what a real coach does today or tomorrow. You, Dub, and Chet go off by yourself and you challenge those two guys to step the FUCK UP and give Shai the help he so desperately needs at this point or the season ends in Game 6 in Dallas.
You know what NBA coach just did that? Michael Malone of the Denver Nuggets after the Nuggets lost two games at home. That’s who.
So stressful…writing about the Thunder.
I need my coffee to get back in sync with the Nuggets playing the Wolves at Minnesota tonight in Game 6.
Peace always. Be happy, MJ.
