My thing is this....I wouldn't trust Wiggins to hit two FTs if he got fouled there which was likely.


I just don't think you can trust him with the game on the line.
There was no Jokic on the floor (or any other big), so the Nuggets had the personnel out there to force the ball out of Steph's hands. They were never going to let him get off a clean look - they were going to force his teammates to make a play. If Otto can't throw a basic lob and Wiggins can't get off a shot in the paint against a much smaller defender, then the Warriors are no hope of winning anything.

jonathan kuminga 11 minutes 9 points

its criminal otto porter and iggy get more minutes than him
Was about to post this. Iggy had no points, two turnovers and five fouls; Porter one point, two turnovers and four fouls.
Otto - 15 minutes
Iggy - 13 minutes
Kuminga - 11 minutes.

Hardly criminal is it? Besides Otto, by default, is going to get more minutes than Kuminga because they need his shooting, and Iggy is there primarily for his experience. Relying on a rookie to play minutes when they're supposed to be competing for a 'ship is no recipe for success.

Then what muh'fukken use is he when the Warriors are paying him $30m a season?

:usure:
Paying a dude 30m that has to be spoonfed literally everything. :snoop:
I noticed an interaction during a free throw Denver was shooting. You had Iggy on one block with Jeff green, and I can't remember who the warriors had on the other block with CAMPAZZO. The smallest dude on either team...guess which block Wiggins was on? Iggy had to literally tell him to come to his side to help with his box out. Common sense shyt. And this was the 4th quarter btw
It'sjust little shyt like that that just irks me about that dude. He's just , there. And has to be babied all game.

They were literally doubling Steph prior to the inbounds, and when he came back down around baseline, they generated a 1v1 with Wiggins vs. a much smaller Rivers in the paint (due to all the defensive attention on Steph). Throwing it down to Wiggins was the right play - they just fukked up the execution of it. Otto has gotta be better there and Wiggins needs to get better position.
