Doncic leads Dallas to win over Thunder | 01:06Josh Giddey’s NBA playoff form is heading in the wrong direction and it’s leading to an unwanted comparison among Aussie basketball talent .
Giddey was used by coach Mark Daigneault for 17 minutes in the first game of the best-of-seven series and produced just two points, five boards and two assists in the 117-95 win, missing both three-point attempts. Josh Giddey is struggling at the worst time of the season. Giddey has often been left wide open while taking three-point attempts this season as he’s not considered a serious threat beyond the arc.
“The offence runs better without Giddey. I know Chet didn’t have a great game two, but Giddey’s the only one who looks overmatched. “He’s not going to have the ball in his hands. We’re taking the ball out of SGA’s hands? No.O’Connor added: “It’s the Ben Simmons problem.Vernon replied: “I promise you there’s nothing more that Jason Kidd wants than for Josh Giddey to shoot it. Shoot it 30 times if you want.”
