I didn't see anything he did wrong. There was no foul or anything. And he hopped over his ankle? Chriss is such the worst kind of NBA player. Ten cent brain that's ruining all that potential talent.
I get Dudley trying to set the tone for the younger guys. That's literally his job. But I'm pretty sure Chriss doesn't even realize why he's upset. He's an idiot. I can't stress that enough. He's a worthless NBA player.
Ya Chriss is garbage. Probably got mad because they get destroyed every night. That is some of the problem with tanking, you create losing habits and usually takes drafting a stud (Towns, Irving, Griffin) and adding a all star type talent who knows how to win to break those bad habits (butler, James, paul)

He is hanging on to the last few scraps he has left. Looks sad. LOL
In other news, the Pelicans lost finally. Looking at the other 7 top teams in the West they have a combined winning streak of 31 games in a row. Portland leading with 11 straight wins, Utah with 8 straight wins.
Wolves must keep winning if they want to stay in the top 8.

Lebron can do whatever he wants with his hair the guy is having a heck of a season. :)
Are the Wolves not soft anymore? Klay fractured his thumb and Durant injured his ribs against the Wolves in that game. Houston is firmly in the drivers seat for home court advantage.

Wiggins is the only soft one. KAT is a beast, so is Butler. Wiggins needs to play harder to shed that lazy and soft description.

Never gonna happen. He is what he is, which means sometimes we get glimpses of full effort and concentration and oftentimes we don't. I can't think of an NBA player whose motor suddenly changed 4 years into their career.
What CAN change are some of his skills in terms of shooting, passing, ball handling, and understanding defensive schemes better. Unfortunately, the needle has barely moved in these areas (especially the shooting), but it still could. We do have examples of guys eventually finding their shot after 4+ seasons. Hopefully he is one of them.

I agree with you, Q. I see him improving his understanding of defensive schemes. I also see him improving his court awareness, which will lead to improved passing. He's already improved in those areas to date and that tells me we can expect to see further improvement in those areas going forward. Although he hasn't shown any improvement in his shooting, that is a skill that he can improve and there are examples of NBA players (past and present) who have improved their shooting after 4 season in the Leage (albeit not a lot of them). But I just don't see him improving his handle. It's a skill that just doesn't improve once you're in your 20s. It's something you develop when you're a kid.
Assuming Wiggins continues to improve his defensive and offensive awareness as I think he will, then improved shooting will be the key for him, and by extension, for the Wolves. He'll never be what I'd consider a max player, but if he significantly improves his shooting efficiency, he'll be a net plus as our 3rd guy behind KAT and Butler. I just wish Butler wasn't already 28 years old without a meniscus in his right knee.
Rockets beat the Pels and Tyreke Evans was back healthy to help the Grizz beat the Nuggets who only scored 94 points. Nice to get some unexpected help.
