Still, IMO they should cease issuing him any checks and levy fines to the max. Some team eventually has to battle against this sort of player madness. Embiid seems to support the team, that should be enough. | ||

Curry is back to MVP form, Green is still a great defender and his shot is back to fine, poole has devoped into a good scorer and Wiggins is a two way threat. And he was pissed at the twolves tonight. 2 nasty posters on KAT. Edwards dropped 48 in the losing cause but the headlines are Wiggins 35 and the dunks! https://www.goldenstateofmind.com/2021/11/10/22775721/warriors-wolves-recap-andrew-wiggins-steph-curry I mean, a lot of teams? Didnt you used to hate wiggans? | ||

Wiggins finally looks pretty good now that he's in his proper role as the 3rd (ish) option on offense. Looks like he's actually putting a little effort in on D too (which I think is more a byproduct of him playing on a team that's actually good). Still overpaid, but that is what it is, at least he's in his proper role now. Interested to see how well Klay plays when he comes back. Those are two serious injuries, and back-to-back? Sheesh... But if he can be even 80% of the Klay we knew pre-injuries, this Warriors team is a legit contender... Which teams do you consider strong enough to take on a healthy Golden State? I'm looking at their schedule and think the 10-1 has a lot to do with not facing of the top-tier teams in the NBA yet, but 10-1 is still impressive, and when Klay gets back they get better. Like, I dunno, I certainly don't see "a lot" of teams that could stop a healthy Warriors team right now. It won't be the geriatric society over in LA. Who knows if Kyrie will play at all this year for Brooklyn. After that... I see teams like maybe Utah, Phoenix, or a healthy Miami? I want to like this Chicago team but I don't have any confidence they'll actually be a threat. Maybe Milwaukee gets their shit together. Who do you have as contenders right now? | ||

As for Wiggins, he's playing well right now. He isn't the first player who gets better on defense with a smaller role on offense. Even Kobe had substantial dips playing defense during the times when his offensive load was higher. Durant was better on D during his Warriors stint. Harden looks better on D with the Nets. These guys aren't robots and they get tired too. Curry is actually not shooting that well right now. He's at 43% for the season, which is low for him. They do have some role players shooting at unsustainable high percentages for them. So maybe that balances out once the role players start cooling off. | ||
