some of you fools are reactionary as fukk to wiggins having that big game. I gave wiggins praise for the game, but to say lavine should now be the 6th man is pure foolishness. You don't put a superathletic 6'6" 20 ppg scorer who is your best 3 pt shooter (and don't tell me about wiggins' 3 pt %, i won't believe it until he maintains it for at least half a season) on the bench after 1 game. Not only lavine was out, but also bazz, and less importantly brandon rush. That was almost 30 ppg missing between lavine and bazz with them being out. Someone had to score/replace those points; it just happened to be wiggins getting more usage to put up those numbers + bjelica actually hit some shots and didn't play like a bytch for once. Flip the script, and let's say wiggins was out with lavine playing. Lavine could've easily put up 35-40+ with similar usage/freedom. He's already had multiple 30 pt games this year with a full/healthy lineup.
I agree Wiggins is overrated but he has been shooting over 40% since all star break last year factor in what he's at now and that should be enough of a sample size.

fair enough, but I still trust a 3 or any jumper from lavine's hands much more than wiggins. I like wiggins post up game and ability to create fouls with his awakward drives to the hoop, but shooting/ball handling I much rather lavine

always find it amusing when people disrespect players only to be proven wrong..

Dwight coward.. dwightmare.. he finished.... yet.. he just made the HAWKS ECF worthy and added the missing size....

same time.. al hordford so overated
Dwight was always meant to succeed in the East

It's the exact reverse with Golden states guy. Theirs color guy is great & the play by play is :scust:
