Pete objective and honest about Wig tonight per usual...

Honestly surprised DJ isnt obliterating us so far tonight. The guy shoots 100% and is 20/20 against us on a healthy night.

I'm not watching, what'd he say? Looks like Wiggins is really stepping up with KAT out.... or not.

We're a much better team with Teague.

Wig is playing fine, not terribley inefficient like most nights. He talked about him getting stripped and losing the ball a lot. This was talked about after he was stripped on what was mostly likely a foul but wasn't called but didn't whine about the no call, just stated he needs to play through contact better. Which is so true.

And then later on he talked about how Wig hasn't improved his body at all since entering the league, which is also very true and gave this as a reason he doesn't finish through contact and often gets push off his spots on drives, etc...

And it wasn't done in a rant or excessively piling on, just honest, objective assessment.

Jim Pete is normally quite solid, however, the one thing that always rubs me the wrong way is when he talks glowingly about Gorgui Dieng, especially his defense. Perhaps he's emotional when it comes to him, I don't know, but it usually annoys me. Obviously, we haven't had to hear much of that this game.

Balanced attack.

The timely shots have been pleasant to watch.

I've had just about enough of kids doing fortnite dances

I would agree with that statement. It's been refreshing not watching Gorgui tonight. Would much rather play Tolliver, Deng and Saric play back up center minutes when Kat play. Obviously play Saric and Kat together also but I like him center also.
