Although the Thunder entered the playoffs as the first in the West this season, the outside world is still not optimistic about their strength, and the outside world thinks they are too young! Too little playoff experience. But youth represents capital, they are very quick learners, easily swept the Pelicans in the first round, and the two sides also fought 2-2 after today's 100-96 victory over the Mavericks in the second round, and the only bad news is that there is a player on the team who keeps regressing, and the performance on the court is simply a disaster.
Thunder three less
And this player is Josh Giddey, who refused to be offered a 4-year $60 million contract extension by the team during the regular season and insisted on asking for a 4-year 160 million max salary contract, as the team's starting point guard, he has no three-point ability, he was infinitely empty by the opponent on the offensive end, and his defense was even more stabbed, and he has not been trusted by the coach, and his average playing time has dropped to 13 minutes in the series against the Mavericks, and he has 6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists.
Gideon
And with such a performance, Giddey also became dissatisfied with the coach because of too little playing time, and many people in the team were dissatisfied. And the coach has been insisting on letting him start in order to take care of his emotions, which should really be satisfied! Such a player coach should not give him a minute, and let this year's No. 10 show Wallace play more? Wallace averaged 6.3 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist per game in this series, shooting 50% from three-point range and averaging 1.3 three-pointers per game.
