Wiggins "can do" vs "does do" is what makes him so frustrating.

This game is starting to be the Wiggins LaVine Towns show. Feeding each other into more effort.

Napier and Covington with back to back terrible possessions.

Lavine for the killer 3

Dunn shuts down Wiggins

Ironic turn of events to seal it

LaVine finishes us off. At least we saw a little fight in them in the 4th.

I cant believe weve played the last minute running offense through napier while kat and wiggs dont touch the ball. Thats saunders coaching right there.

Winnable game but poor sloppy play in the first half and huge drought in the 3rd were death. Super Wiggins made a rare appearance in the second half but not enough to over come the huge hole we put ourselves in. Again, you need a full game effort. 7 losses straight. Got to be better.

Nah, he's been having a rough time but teams still want him. I think his value will be sky high around the deadline, a lot of teams will think he can put them over the top.

That’s not having an NBA-level point guard ...

Maybe if they would have just had bad effort in the first half instead of horrible we would have won this game.

Oh they will want him - but we are not gonna get that credible asset in return like we had once hoped ...

At least we didn't just bend over for them, we fought back. Still a bad loss but fans at least want to see some energy. That mess in the 1st quarter and first half of the third was unwatchable. The one thing worse than watching a team that's simply bad is watching a team that plays with no heart or energy be bad.
