Karl-Anthony Towns on his final three:

"The play was actually for D-Lo to come off the pick-and-roll, get his matchup, do what he does, and all of us get ready for an outlet. D-Lo wanted to get rid of the ball and I looked at him and said you got it, but he said no, so I said alright, got to my spot and got open."

Apparently Finchy heard the Warriors were missing three starters, and wanted to make it a fairer fight. So he's put Vando and Ant on the "questionable" list. So now the Wolves are getting 3 points rather than 1.

Cam, what's your motivation for this comment?

Nothing? That's kind of weird. You have that big of a problem with him being voted into the all star game?

My quoted comment was originally said in jest. Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are likely Hall of Fame bound. Clearly, the Warriors need those two. I was mainly joking about Andrew Wiggins being named an All-Star starter this year.

Typically, an All-Star starter is among the very best players in the league, or in that "elite" conversation. If Wiggins was actually deserving of that, then he would be in that mix. Even his biggest fans know that he isn't. That doesn't mean he hasn't had a fine season, because he has, but he shouldn't have been starting in the All-Star game and there's a real argument that he shouldn't have even been on the All-Star roster -- even with all the replacements that were named. Obviously, he was the beneficiary of a flawed fan voting system and that's not his fault.

In authentic Wiggins form, he started out last night scoring eight points (2-2 3P) in the first three minutes of the game before going quiet for the rest of the night. He finished with 12 points on 5-13 shooting in 30 minutes. Rough nights happen, but his propensity to disappear in games never sat well with me as a fan. Again, he's been a quality role player for the Warriors this year, but not a deserving All-Star, in my opinion. There were more deserving players. I was making light of that.
