Funny that on a night when he's actually filling the stat line a bit you'd come to that conclusion. I'm not saying you're wrong as I'm not watching the game, you'd just never get that impression from the box score.

I just don't understand why Wiggins so often fails to pursue loose balls. That's been my biggest frustration with him the past three seasons -- watching him stand and just watch or only casually pursue loose balls. Maybe it's fatigue from playing so many minutes.

Except it isn't just late in the season this happens, it's his calling card.

That is the biggest problem our 2 stars don't make "do shit" plays on defense. Towns hasn't gotten back once and Wiggins dosen't put in the extra effort on defense

Curry can do no wrong. Heck, he can double dribble and it still ain't wrong!

I really hope Dunn can become adequate on offense because he is by far our best perimeter defender

I like how they replay the curry pass behind the back with no mention of the blatant double dribble. Also liked the nice hook by pachulia on wiggins at the end of the half. I hate nba officiating. To point out, by no way am i saying we would be winning but damn. Call the damn game correctly.

I was bitching about the hook Pachulia gave wiggins. It is the worst when your team sucks and the refs miss obvious stuff

My dedication to watching this game to completion has been rewarded. We have a Jordan Hill sighting!

The coach plays them too many minutes. KAT was was one of the better defensive players in college and looked good on defense last year with Smitch's conserve the career philosophy to minutes.
