11 years, damn Wiggs been around that long

[eddieheatfan]

ugly win, but a win its a win

[Umbooki]

Wiggins is so damn strong. Bless whoever is able to unlock his killer mentality.

[EMC5466]

Wiggins is finding his way with the team. Looked a little discombobulated at times the last few games.

Anti tank win

[SerialChiller]

Why does this win feel like a loss haha

[DayofMourning]

Good dub. Lets try and lose the next 3.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Bam ain’t like that

Just sent this in to Freezing Cold Takes

Coming from a 4 game losing streak, we'll gladly take it.

We found some continuity with this lineup. The pieces make sense. Maybe Ware with Slo Mo off the bench could be better moving forward

Nah man. Raps played small ball & it took Ware’s effectiveness out. Just a match up thing. Young fella will start. He’s unlocked Bam & it works.

[3ammy3uck3ts]

Good close for the big 3, I can’t lie though I do not like that we’re treating Wiggins like he’s a 1st option. He needs to be 3rd. The end of this season is huge for Bam and Herros development as “The guys” so when we get true reinforcements they’ll be more comfortable in any situation

[MettaWorldPanda]

Everything made sense with that lineup to close. That should be the starting unit going forward. Ware off the bench with a trusted vet like Anderson may be just what he needs with Duncan also working that great back cut game with Anderson.

I don't think it's ever going to be fully unlocked, but I'll take every other game for now hah. Fully unlocked, he'd be one of the best players in the league. Glad to see him starting to get more comfortable. Two-Way Wiggs is such a force when he has it going.

I think they should all be able to flip flop at any given moment based off the matchups.

The spacing is clunky with Wiggins. I love Ware but for the good of the starting unit I think Jovic brings more spacing. It allowed Wiggins more comfort to operate down low without another big down there.

That’s the annoying part. We’ve seen flashes for a decade, but it never lasts long. It’s just one of those “What If?” Scenarios.

D Wade with two good knees.
Beasley with proper mental health support.
Wiggins with a psychotic obsession with basketball.

You guys always overreact to wins & losses. Ware will start vs Bucks nxt gm. Anderson may well play horribly & you go back to liking Ware in starting 5. It was a small ball issue this gm & Spo made the right adjustment sitting Ware. Ware isn’t suddenly going to come off the bench because of 1 gm.

Not everyone possesses the Kobe/Jordan killer mentality. It’s too draining, especially at this age when the game is all about rich and glamour for the players.

It’s not an overreaction. It’s seeing how the new pieces work. Sure Ware probably continues to start but Jovic provides more spacing for Wiggins to operate.

Wiggins likes to do work in the post. Spo did well finding him actions down low.
