ESPN has been reckless as hell with this story.

This is correct. Maybe Canada is just behind the times on not using the word gay.

I doubt he meant any harm. I've used that word like that in the past. I've stopped doing so. But I did when I was 23. He owned it and clarified. Take note and move on.

Yeah. Need to see more of that from him. Not that I want people hurt, but I want to see the attack.

10 rebounds tonight. Led the wolves.



I think the kid might be coming. We need more data points, obviously, before we can think about putting concerns to rest. Remember how great we all felt that first two weeks or so after the Butler trade, things went back to normal after that. So maybe this is a temporary bump and he regresses back to "sleepy" Wiggins. But maybe this is the beginning of the beginning!


We shall see!
He's learning to play again. Butler hurt Wiggins development. He use to stand around waiting for his turn as a role player. Now he can use his god given talents and just play basketball without being berated by Butler. Just my opinion.

Well, for a lot of em around here, if he has a cold night shooting, it was because he was bored and disinterested.

Moses Scurry wrote: Wed Jan 09, 2019 11:36 am Typical Wiggins fashion, when motivated, he can do great things. Matchups against Lebron, prime time TV, in honor of Flip/Ryan. It's the Wednesday games against Brooklyn on a 3 game road trip that he needs to bring the same energy. Basically what we have said for 5 years. If it continues the rest of the season, I'll happily eat crow but 4+ years of evidence suggests otherwise.

GO WOLVES!
unfortunately it's not as easy to figure out as that. the nov 24 chicago game was such an abomination - 0 pts on 0 for 12 and 1 rebound in nearly 30 mins. and it was the matchup against lavine - you know, time to show the world who the better player is. so - no - i don't think andrew is as easy to figure out as "he plays well in certain situations against certain players but doesn't care the rest of the time". and maybe it's better that way - i'd rather try to figure out how to get consistent effort out of him thru the drudge of an 82 game season, rather than try to rewire his brain to not only care about big games.

Hard to believe there are actually dopes here who think that Mr. Lazy is going to turn it around now and become a star just because young Ryan has motivated him. Yes, we may see a 2 or 3 game spark, but once a lazy SOB, always a lazy SOB. Enjoy the next game or two though!

We will see, if he does not play hard now and change then you get rid of him in the offseason

I overestimated things...Lazy can't even get things going for 1 quarter!

wiggins didn't win or lose the game last night - he had hustle lapses, but nothing like the past. posted 17 pts on a bit over 41% - 1 of 2 threes - hit both his FTs - 6 rebounds - 3 assists - a steal and 2 blocks. save your bitching for when he actually has a crappy game.

Probably because he called him gay. Have you not watched the video? Do your ears not work?

I might be one of the biggest Andrew haters on this board but he has actually played 6-7 good games in a row... I'll call last night good because he was aggressive and played both ends. Even the best have off nights shooting.

I'm still a skeptic but I'm hopeful he is turning the corner... this might be the best effort stretch of his career.

They weren’t going to Wiggins because KAT could not be stopped by the other team. Hard to call Wiggins # when it was clear KAT was the guy who should have been option A, B and C.

Saunders is going to be good for these guys.
