He’s said he’s seen the hate pretty disappointing some thunder fans are doing this and those people need to stop. He’s averaging 17 8 and 6 as a 20 year old what more can you ask. We knew he wouldn’t be a great shooter but he’s already improved his 3 pt % by 6% over last year.

I’m with you. I’m a huge fan of Giddey but don’t see much love for him. We better appreciate him while we have him or else he’s going to be yet another Thunder player to leave and glow up
I love giddey
For some reason this popped up on my timeline as suggested I’m a bulls fan and at first I misread the title and thought you were saying it’s the other way around, I’d love a bit of Giddey he’s a fantastic prospect. Does he really get hate from a portion of your fanbase?
90% of the fanbase loves Giddey. The 10% minority is just so damn loud
Giddey is easily our second best player.
Wait why would he get hate?
The internet is full of trolls, bad actors, and fools. Folks wanted SGA traded last year on here. Don’t waste your time
One of my favourite players outside of the Knicks
I know it sounds crazy but they not watching OKC games like we do.
Who is disrespecting Giddey? Like more than two weird examples from social media that you somehow think represents the fanbase. This is hokey gaslighting for whatever reason.
I love giddey so much I’m a (m 22) and his was the first jersey I ever bought.
I’m a fan of a different team in the same division and I love Giddey, Dort, SGA of course, both J Williams, and Kenrich Williams when he had the mullet. Dort is my favorite from that time he locked down Harden
Love watching him play – amazing passing which just becomes more valuable as we add other creators and finishers
But I think seeing players 82 games a year – you notice their flaws. I guess it’s like your wife/husband – the little niggles with them build up over time. And sometimes the niggles get worse and you break up and sometimes the person changes for the better (or you realise how great they are and accept the bad things).
Just so long as people keep seeing the great stuff josh brings, and josh doesn’t get too down about the minority who keep spouting that his one weakness is basketball
Doubt Rockets fans have any respect for Giddey
Blasphemy
What’re you on about? Australia loves him.
Josh is a future Hall of Famer. If you ONLY watched his inbound passes that frequently become an assist, that would be enough.
But you add his ability to get a double-double most nights, with an occasional triple-double, improving shot mechanics (and results!), and zero drama with SGA…superstar in the making.
…
Watch what a World Cup with the Boomers will do for him.
I swear on any big thunder post or group I never see anyone bashing giddey. Only time I see it is when it’s like a Knicks fan cheering for the thunder. Real thunder fans love him, dude is an absolute baller and can only get better with how young he is
So what op is referring to is the (substantially) large contingent of fans calling for giddey to come off the bench up until the ASB
I’ve also noticed a lot of people pencilling in giddey as our fourth/fifth option for the future – despite him being our youngest starter (1.5 years you get than jdub AND chet) and current second best player.
Everybody: …
Giddey fans: Why is no one talking about Giddey?!
Dude I love Giddey
The problem is that it’s hard to see how he progresses into an all-star level player. His IQ is his best asset for sure which is massive for him. However his handle remains functional, his scoring ability isn’t spectacular, and his defense is limited by his athletic ability.
Yes. He is young. You can’t really teach top end athleticism. We may be seeing a player who is already near his ceiling. That isn’t really a problem considering that his ceiling is still a really good player.
That being said I love Giddey and have definitely enjoyed watching him improve month to month.
I dont know why this appeared on my timeline too but well defense of other teams would tell you he’s easily your second best player at least this season but I was quite surprised he’s only considered 3rd, even 4th best player by a lot of okc fans. He runs the offense even better than sga and makes your bench unit work so I thought fans unanimously agree he’s the second most important player whether he’s having an off night or not.
I cant decide if he is going to be better then Ricky Rubio or just the same type of player. I dont dislike him but im hoping jdub and chet are better then him
He’s no longer the shiny new object with Chet and JDub’s abnormal ascent
He’s not the most athletic
And for some reason people expected a 20yr old to come in and shoot 40/50/90 will averaging a 18pt triple double and he didn’t
🤷♂️
Thicc Giddey
