Giddey and JDub have both been awesome so far. JDub has 7 points on some nice buckets; Giddey’s scored 7 as well. Super aggressive start for both. OKC calls a timeout with 2:59 left in the 1Q as Clippers lead 27-25 – 10:32 PM

Josh Giddey has improved as a team defender, and it is partly due to his body positioning. Much more engaged, back at the baseline more to be able to see where he needs to gap or help but obviously his overall engagement has been a huge helper for him. – 10:29 PM

Nice rim finish by Josh Giddey, like having him play on the block there as OKC got an artificial transition chance off that FT – 10:18 PM

With the injured Ivica Zubac watching from the bench, tonight’s starting center Mason Plumlee opened the game with a huge swat of Josh Giddey at the rim. – 10:13 PM

More on this storyline
Our sources told us at the time that the minor and her family were unwilling to cooperate with investigators … which was a major roadblock in the process. We were also told the minor even lawyered up with prominent attorney Gloria Allred. -via TMZ.com / January 17, 2024
Justin Kubatko: Josh Giddey last night:
13 PTS
10 REB
12 AST
5-5 FG
3-3 FT Giddey is the fourth player (fifth instance) in NBA history to record a triple-double while shooting 100% on both FG and FT. He’s the youngest player to achieve the feat. More: statitudes.com/p/nba-game-not… pic.twitter.com/FJc3vk9tsf -via Twitter @jkubatko / January 12, 2024





Clemente Almanza: SGA on Josh Giddey: “When he’s making decision and is aggressive, he’s a really good basketball player… He went through a little bit of a slump obviously. He’s worked at it, got better from it.” -via Twitter @CAlmanza1007 / January 11, 2024
