Josh Giddey versus the Lakers

He can have a thread for this!

Josh Giddey instrumental as the Bulls outscore the Lakers 9-2 in the last 10ish seconds of the game, including a steal from LeBron, assisting on a three, and then hitting a half-court game-winner on the buzzer.

Final 12 seconds of the game: Video

Unbelievable.

Giddey in March:

18/9/7
19/13/9
26/10/12
29/10/4
22/7/7
15/10/17 (and 8 steals)
26/7/9
25/14/11 and game winner

Bulls 6-2 despite trading out LaVine.

I think LeBron assumed they had that game in the bag because he looked lazy on each possession. He and Reaves botched the rotation with Vuc and Williams. Then he absolutely fluffed the inbounds. And then was the guy who gave Giddey a clean look from half-court.

Lakers a fun match up for Giddey.
No rim Protection plus Luka is a good match up for him.
Luka

Josh
25/14/11 at 42/44//56%.

The press is that he has put away the floater since the all star break but also the three ball is falling a lot more regularly as well.

Some of those games teams have resting key players ie Denver resting Nikola and Aaron
Let's see if teams are now going to take the Bulls more seriously.

The great thing about the end was after Giddey airballed that floater terribly and they went down by 5 with 12s left, he pulled himself together for the steal and assist to Coby and then to hit from half court to win. The kid has great belief in himself right now and didn't put his head down.

Best thing I've seen for a while. Watched it 5 times. Even better that it happened against LeBron, Luka and the Lakers!

Hitting the 3 ball consistently changes everything really.

He was shipped out of OKC because of defense and 3 ball. In the modern NBA its hard to be a rotation guy when you're poor at both. One they can work with. And with his D, he at least rebounds well and does a decent job on bigger guys. Basically being able to hit the 3, plus his other top notch skills, mean its worth it trying to scheme defensive strategies where he won't get destroyed.

Chicago doing Chicago things. They regain their first round pick in the Lavine trade looking like they'd join the fight for the Flagg tank job, instead they start winning and will probably pick mid first round in a loaded draft.
Might be some suitors for Giddey now, should be commanding $30 mill plus. But do the Bulls want to be in that play in purgatory spot, maybe a sign and trade for some assets and really tank job for a few years. Spurs would have been good before Fox. Question is although he's been on a great run, it's a contract year and will a team believe he's overcome his deficiencies. And teams are wary about big contracts, so Bulls should keep him as an asset at least.

Like the guy in commentary said ... they will be showing that buzzer beater long after he has passed on ... and probably most of the adults watching it too.

The icing on the cake it was against the Lakers and he shot it over LeBron.

SMH, LeBron still hasn't retired?

I'd like to see Giddey do this for the Boomers at an Olympics.

Whatever Giddey is doing now needs to be studied, he's been incredible. And sure he still has weaknesses in his game but if he becomes adequate on defense and his 3 ball keeps dropping he might be an NBA All Star before long.

Yes Patty did! I only watched the last less than seven minutes and Patty made three x 3's, one x 2 and three free throws in under seven minutes! It was great to watch!
