Wiggins just ended Doncic's life

Maple Jordan has started his flights again.
This may would have been even more impressive if he had not the contact with Bullock.
Anyway hope Bullock is ok

When the other 4 guys on the floor are commanding the defense's attention and Wiggins is your 4th or 5th option, then sure, it works. Wiggins is like the new Harrison Barnes for the Warriors. He's been impactful on defense though.

lol at the salt of people wanting this to be an offensive foul. People want Wiggins to take his off hand and put it behind his head Karl Malone style. It was a natural motion of a dunk, it made incidental contact with the armpit/chest area (not neck as many imply), and Doncic was not straight up, he was drifting to the side. Just because he flopped and grabbed his neck does not make it a foul.

Wiggins is way way way overpaid, and looking at him as a $30 million dollar player that stops you from having another max player, he would be a massive waste.

But the Warriors still have all 3 of their max guys, and they have good young talent too. Wiggins salary didn't stop them from any of their goals, other than the ownership paying a massive fee. It's a unique situation. He's still a huge disappointment and waste of dollars if you could just replace his $30 million with another guy of similar salary or a few guys that are similar level but much lower paid.. but that's not how it works. All those things might be true, but he's not a net negative as a role player, and he's a better player than salary dumping and signing a minimum guy. So as long as the ownership is willing to pay him, he doesn't impede anything they do.

You've actually watched these playoffs and believe that Wiggins is a huge disappointment?

He hopes Golden State losses every time and is the most hilariously bitter ex moderator on here, so I'm not surprised he's caught in his feelings especially tonight.

It's like Shaq and Chuck said he was supposed to be the Luka Doncic, the LeBron, the Kevin Durant for Cleveland/Minnesota and now he gets to be the Andrew Bogut.

Pure Wiggins fans should be disappointed that he's just a 4th option on a team benefitting from Curry's gravity instead of leading a team into the playoffs. He's basically a less extreme version of Kevin Durant.

Decent SF miscast as a #2 option in Minnesota and is now playing better as a #4 option on an all-star team. He has much less pressure and gets way more wide open shots. Who would've thought he would be perceived as better now that he's joined HoFers!

Not Nick Wright

Kevin Durant.

Salary is not that bad compare to WB. But its easy to outperform when expectation is so low.

Huh? Wiggins was supposed to be way better than what he turned out to be.

I’ll just leave this here.. this is clickbait garbage. Such a loser move.

multo · Post #135 » by **multo** » Mon May 23, 2022 1:49 pm

And now Nick Wright backpedals and is saying Luka needs better teammates. Okay, then why'd you pick Mavs to win in 5? What a clown.

Ok, he complains about fouls to the refs a lot

Aside from that, how does everyone not like this guy? Every interview he seems to be effusive of the other team and he takes blame for what happens to the team

Probably a Mav for life and this kind of attitude will attract veteran help and 2nd/3rd stars as well

Yeah that was the smoothest way I’ve ever seen a dunkee give credit. Luka is pretty darn likable.

Exactly.. prime Iguodala not only did this, he did this for about 5 years straight. Wiggins was solid last year, learning to play with Draymond defensively aint easy. Nor is playing next to Kelly Oubre. But this is his 1st year of not only being an above average offensive SF, but being a gamechanging defender. He's trending that way, but he's not Wigguodala yet
