2nd 4th quarter benching in a row, I love that Thibs is not taking his bullshit anymore. :lol:

Come ready to play hard like Rocco, or sit your ass down

He played a pretty decent game tonight. Pretty good bounce back. Liked his energy and how he competed.

Wiggins is currently a sell at the deadline. Either he needs a change of scenery or we need a new coach to change it for him here.

Butler took Wiggins's talent to Philly like a fucking Monstar. We need to call Bugs, Daffy, and Bill Murray for help.

Ran into Bill Burr in Chicago, he asked me if I knew Decker.

His defense was solid tonight. Only took 10 shots.

I was raking leaves in the cold last night during the game and on a plane today so my only updates on the game are from these threads...

It is sad and amazing if Wiggins got benched in Q4 two straight games. I guess if Thibs is going down with the ship, he is going down with his type of players. I respect that.

Too early for a bump here?

I've been saying it all year. Transforming from an offensive minded player to a defensive minded player doesn't happen overnight.

Player of the game against a team we really needed to beat. Amazing how stupid, freaked out everyone has gone about him while we are winning at a .600 pace since the trade. No one's role has adjusted more over the last 2 years than Wigs. It's happened like 5 times and he's probably the guy who can adapt least. He's an obviously better player than the one who averaged like 23 points. What's changed is his role. Plenty of time to let him adjust without pitching a daily fit WHEN WE ARE WINNING.

So that was the weekly effort game. At least he was properly used as a forth option last night.

So many drives to the basket, too bad that's not every night. It almost looks like he's expecting to get hammered and with all the no calls for a couple years, he looks a bit afraid.

I won't apologize, but I'll say, "Thanks for bringing the energy and effort last night. Keep it up. Earn that money."

Only two shots inside the arch and outside the paint last night (6-11). I'd love to see more of that.

I disagree your takes on Towns...but I am absolutely on board with this on Wiggins.

After 23 games, this thread gets bumped. :lol:

Seriously, pump the brakes. If this is the new Wiggins we will ALL be grateful, but his MO is having good games every now and then.

Pump. The. Brakes.

Are you freakin kidding me? There are 10 anti-Wigs threads in the top 15 all year. Every bad game he gets killed. Every good game is diminished because he didn't do it 82 straight.

Might just want to check how many rubes willing to give him time are calling him the best player in the league. Now look at all the haters calling him the worst.

Jesus Christ. Utter lack of any sense of reality here. :lol:

Thrillkill trying to say people are going overboard on Wiggins yet he wanted KAT traded asap. Wiggins plays a solid game maybe every 3rd and has been the same player for 5 years and WE are going overboard.

We want him to succeed but after 5 years and he finally shows a heartbeat every couple games we are supposed to be excited? Give us a couple months of evidence before you start putting his bust in Naismith Memorial.

No joke. Wiggins is one of the best at defending Harden in the league.

It's nice to see KAT utilized in a 4th quarter.

Wiggins only 23 years old

Year 1 Rookie of the Year
Year 2 Avg 20 ppg & Rising Stars MVP
Year 3 Avg 23.6 ppg
Year 4 Down year
Year 5 Defensive Improvement

Add in he’s been durable his entire career, no off the court issues, and most important; he gets along with Towns and wants to be here

Posting a bunch of meaningless awards does not negate he's been predominately terrible. 2019 WS = 0.0.

I'd say year 5 is a down, down year. He is getting better defensively though, but everything else is down from his down year.

That sad thing about last night was it was all just effort, want to, hustle, professionalism...

So he should be able to do what he did last night, EVERY NIGHT.
