wiggins is like hydroxychloroquine: a lot of promise for one reason or another out of the gate, and after it was clear the idea was a flop people keep talking themselves into it working somehow, in the right context, at the right dose... it's easier to accept that wiggins is bad if you also accept that the reasons you thought he might be good were just a mirage

polyphonic I'm a Timberwolves fan I'm not desperate about anything, things just fall apart it makes no difference, it's all doomed to fail, the warriors will be fine, they are a real franchiseit's just stuff like this is funny, familiarhttps://sports.yahoo.com/why-tom-haberstroh-changed-mind-032857703.html https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/why-steve-kerr-believes-andrew-wiggins-puts-warriors-puzzle-together

initially responded just to defend Kerr from any responsibility for Wiggins being Wiggins
He said literally the same stuff about Russell and could not trade the guy fast enough
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 3 January 2021 19:04 (three years ago) link
it’s almost as if the warriors should stop trading for bad players.

kinda doubt the warriors ever thought wiggins would be good

They've also completely whiffed on all of their draft picks post-Draymond pre-Wiseman.
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Sunday, 3 January 2021 19:56 (three years ago) link
i do think it's kinda hard to fault them for that ... it appears hard to draft & develop guys when you're so intensely focused on winning a title. you're drafting low ceiling players for specific need & giving them minimal minutes to grow as players. compare the heat's drafting in the lebron era to what they've done after. the spurs are held up as the gold standard of this and they did make some good picks but didn't find many guys who helped them out all that much
― J0rdan S., Sunday, 3 January 2021 20:10 (three years ago) link
the injuries have masked it but i think the warriors process and decisionmaking have been pretty shaky for a while now.
― call all destroyer, Sunday, 3 January 2021 21:13 (three years ago) link
i seem to remember them running a questionably low amount of pick and roll last time they were in the offs
― ciderpress, Sunday, 3 January 2021 21:33 (three years ago) link
it's hard to untangle their decision making from giving steph, klay and draymond huge contracts for downside years. but i don't think they had another choice in that matter. it was almost certainly going to end this way and the injuries have just exacerbated it

Lacob's open checkbook deserves most of the credit imo. Guy is a fuckin legend

the pistons are legitimately hysterical. mason plumlee is looking around before crunch time possessions at the end of games like “shit, i’ll iso”

Both of these Celtic Pistons games have been atrocities

Kanter is such a gifted scorer and rebounder it’s a shame he couldn’t figure out defense
― Spottie, Monday, 4 January 2021 03:29 (three years ago) link
he misses so many wide open layups which is where a not insignificant number of his rebounds originate, but yeah he is a truly awful defender
― lag∞n, Monday, 4 January 2021 03:33 (three years ago) link
i'm sure it's only like 28 in reality but it feels like steph's career PPG against the blazers is like 42

yeah... that one game where he went off on them in the fourth quarter after coming back from injury and the camera cut to paul allen completely slackjawed in the crowd is one of my top 3 ever steph games
