The Heat is On - Miami @ Minnesota GDT

Why can't we have this Wiggins for the full game?

HUGE plays. Had a chance to win it on a really good look....Whiteside misses one, let's see if we can tie or win. You know who is taking the shot!

Terrible shot.

If Wiggins would impact the game like he did those final few minutes on a regular basis these games wouldn't come down to last minute prayers.

Terrible shot.

I was kind of hoping he'd pull a Larry Bird and just go for the win. They gave him a fairly open look on the initial catch from Rubio. If he missed, we'd still have a chance at long O-board.

This. Team. This. Season.

Dammit. What sucks the most is you see how great Wiggins can be. The biggest challenge for Thibs is to find a way to bring that out more consistently. But it's frustrating that you know it's there and just don't see it nearly enough.

It is the difference between this team living up to expectations and the garbage we see game in, game out.

Damn! 2 big steals by wig and clutch down the stretch but misses 2 shots that could have tied/win the game for us. Disappointing loss. We definitely have no shot at the playoffs anymore.

Great question. I have no idea why we see this so seldomly on defense. On offense it's a combination of things. Part of which is play calling which Jim Pete talked about tonight. Andrew's shots tend to come in bunches. He turns it on for short stretches of the game where he gets his shots. But he still spends way too many possessions just standing out of the play, and that's on the coaches. He gets the ball and he feels like he has to shoot it. In my opinion he would be a better distributor if he was used a little bit differently.

Fantastic post SP.
