I Thought it was the vets fault? Trade all the vets and Wiggins will average 35 a game right? :D

No, its Flips novelty. "Create your own shot thing". In theory it sounds like a great challenge, but in practice it can backfire, Wiggins FT's and FT % are down ever since our "coach" implemented this project.

Christian Laettner is at the game. I really like his resting on your laurels march madness commercial.

Win/Win for Flip. He gets to go the Spartan method of sending your young off to fend for themselves and learn how to survive on their own and he gets more gas to keep pushing the tank.

Maybe he should be more aggressive when plays aren't called for him.

I am really worried on how it might affect Wiggins. He has a heated up ROY race on, wouldn't assuring all others in the "race" look like scrubs compaired to him now, be a greater challenge rather than being a "4th string scrapper" role for a month? And we're tanking none the less with all our "keepers" shelved for the season and with all our "assets" on the floor and giving expanded role to Payne and LaVine.

Wiggins is just tired. He hit the wall. You can see it in his eyes and body language. He'll be fine next year.

Jim Pete's really been praising Bud's play recently. He has played well at the stretch 4 tbh. compared to everything else.

You pull that out in a game that Martin has 9 assists?

Seems like a perfect time. And not that Kobe was ever a bad passer.

So he should just freelance, disrupting spacing and timing, in order to force selfish Martin to quit going 1 v 5 and jacking up contested jumpers?

It's a combo of not having plays called for him, players not moving the ball, being told to move off the ball more, and getting doubled. Not just one thing.
