Wouldn't it be nice if the head coach addressed this.... ever?
You want him to address a lazy player but then you'd be pissed he hung a player out to dry by calling him out.

"Typical Thibs, can't keep things in house, humiliates his players."

We get it, you hate Thibs and want Van Gundy!
No, I wouldn't get mad if Thibs got on Wiggins for going through the motions. That's been my complaint on Wiggins much more than long two's.... the lack of aggressiveness is puzzling and when he didn't have it, the coach left him out there and refused to cut his minutes. I dislike Thibs, yes but he'd be spot on for holding Wiggins accountable for his play on the floor. No one would argue with that.

This organization is almost afraid to criticize Wiggins. They are afraid to challenge him for some reason. Because he's a #1 pick? Because they have sunk that contract for him, they are paralyzed to do anything? Can't upset the delicate little Canadian flower?

They have bent over backwards for this kid and he has not returned the favor.

"Coach says don't take that shot, screw that, if it's "open", I'm taking it." What a great mindset.

It's never on Wiggins, is it. Always someone else's fault. But Wiggins is so dumb he says he'll still do it. I'd love to see Ryan pull has ass from the starting lineup.
And I could say to you “it’s never not on Wiggins is it?”

SQ: If Andrew is still launching guarded long twos and he’s never benched for it who’s fault is that?

This isn’t a pickup game. There are coaches on the sidelines to manage these things. Why do you think the Rockets don’t shoot long twos (much less contested)? D’Antoni won’t allow it!

Does this mean I don’t think Wiggins should be criticized? No! Wiggins deserves all the criticism. He should know he shouldn’t be taking those shots too. But since he doesn’t, what then? Saunders gets a free pass?

C’mon, now.

Show me you can walk and chew gum.
Apparently you can't walk and chew gum. Reading comprehension error? I even said Ryan should sit his ass down. Jesus. :lol:
THEN WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU MAD AT ME FOR SAYING THE SAME THING?

Yes! Ad infinitum on this one.

Coaches need to control shot selection and Thibs/Saunders have both failed miserably.

I better get out of this thread before Kilkenny gets mad at me for agreeing with him. :lol: (And don’t you start!)

Yeah and Garnett liked T-Hud.
What KAT says goes. To me, he can pick the head coach too.

If this reflects how Wiggins is being coached that says a lot.

Head coach needs to put their foot down.

It's been an issue since college with him.

That's easier said then done. At some point the blame falls on Wiggins for continuing to take those shots. Ryan sure as hell is trying to get him out of that habit via his practices where long twos are negative points in scrimmages.

NUMBER 2??????????


The dipshit is barely a fuckin starter :lol:
I think Kat meant that Andrew is playing like a pile of number two.

Come on. He’s had 5 coaches since college. I mean I know we want to give a 23 year old max player the benefit of every doubt but at some point he is who he is.

I don't think TT was this patient with K-Love. :lol:

Twice the player might I add. :thumbsup:

Wiggins for Love, straight up. K-Love, sixth man role since his body is fragile. Big man rotation of Love, KAT and Saric. Dieng goes with Wiggins to Cleveland.

Wiggins and Dieng for Love and Thompson.

Move Thompson to a third team.

You have to yank him or bring him off the bench.

Wiggins needs to be made to understand this his long twos are hurting the team.

It would be great if Wiggins could control that himself but clearly he can’t.

There have been plenty of players on bad teams shooting and trying to score that aren’t on there.

Let me look up Andrew's shooting % this season. 39%.

I think Andrew's jumper needs to respect and learn the game.

There goes unfade who calls everyone else box score watchers and then he goes and uses only total points without context and completely ignoring everything else to show how "great" Wiggins is.

You can't make it up.
