Mark Daigneault gave an informative, long explanation on the SGA/Giddey on-ball/off-ball thing.
The gist of it: OKC wants a team with multiple playmakers and attackers. And that this plan is nothing new. The team has known this since the jump.
TLDR: nothing to see here. – 5:56 PM

Mark Daigneault said being off the ball can happen on a possession Shai Gilgeous-Alexander brings the ball up the floor that by the end of the possession SGA is finishing off ball. “This Evolution on of the team is noting new, including getting Josh creation opportunities.” – 5:53 PM

Mark Daigneault on Josh Giddey being on the ball more and his comments yesterday“More than he has been in the past [Not a direct quote that he will be on ball more than SGA]. I wouldn’t try to make that comparative.” Says you want multiple creators. – 5:49 PM

Mark Daigneault said he has been impressed by how “self motivated” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is when getting his work in. The all star break rehab was no different. – 5:47 PM

Thunder guard Josh Giddey, the 6th overall pick in 2021, won’t play tonight in Indy due to right hip soreness.
He had 15-10-5 last meeting, and played last night in a loss to the Suns. – 5:45 PM

The @Indiana Pacers game against OKC tonight because a crucial stretch of their season. Not because wins are important but because Haliburton and Brogdon likely will be paired for the first time. Haliburton clearly is their PG of the future so will Brogdon accept … – 5:35 PM

The #Thunder will miss Kenrich Williams (knee), Lu Dort (shoulder), Mike Muscala (ankle), Ty Jerome (hip), and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (foot) against the Pacers. It appears Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will play on the second night of a back to back. – 4:15 PM

Point Book thread
To @theIVpointplay’s observation that the Suns didn’t run much of their stuff in the first half, Booker did a really good job just assessing where the Thunder were and going from there.
It was a lot of this with nowhere to go and good passing options. pic.twitter.com/av5S9gvlsZ – 1:58 PM

Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch was a Rockets assistant when Houston traded for James Harden. Finch brought that up when talking about the Pacers trading for Tyrese Haliburton. On Indiana’s new young guard, in a fantastic spot to grow: forbes.com/sites/tonyeast… – 1:23 PM
