We need Wiggins to wake up for this one.

Winning this one would almost make up for the loss to Phoenix in my book. I had this marked as a loss when I looked at the schedule.

Jimmy Butler is so good. Top-ten player in the league good.

Well, Jimmy and Taj bringing it early. Everyone else is struggling. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those Kat bad games.

Please, no more isolation post ups for Wiggins. It's not working. Unless he gets it on the initial action right under the hoop (like his first bucket), it's nothing but missed shots and fumbled balls.

That steal he made on Turner was sick. I was wondering what he was doing when he didn't try to get in front of him to contest the shot. After he tipped the ball from the other side, I went, "Oohhhh, that's what you were doing! Wow!"

It's (not) funny, but you would think when he posts up guys that are 6'3 and under that he'd have a significant advantage, but it just feels like he never really does. We've watched guys like Avery Bradley and C.J. McCollum defend him down there without much of a problem.

Nice mid-range turnaround jumper, Andrew. Ugh.

The NBA is damn near ruined for me. I mean, a player of Wiggins' caliber gets paid a max? Blasphemy.

Never have I seen a basketball player play so entitled. Gifted everything; talent and money. There is no incentive to work for anything.

Jim Pete just talked about how Andrew only brings you one thing and nothing else. Said he's too athletic, too talented to not rebound his position, not do anything else on the court. Specifically pointed out the one rebound, one assist performance from last game. Wiggins also had one rebound and zero assists against the Kings. To me, that's a combination of laziness and a weak mental game.
