Wiggins can reach as high a level as Porzingis.  Minnesota paid on the come - and Wigs is having a nice year.

Uncle Wiggly:
4 Games October: 42% FG & 22% on 3's
11  in  November: 48% FG & 40% on 3's
10 for December : 43% FG & 30% on 3's

Basically Wiggy had a hot streak in NOV and has cooled off. His season average on 3's is 33.2% almost exactly his career average.  Rebounds, assists and blocks are up and at career highs.  Partly the product of that hot streak.  But he seems more active and engaged.

As a 33% 3-baller and iffy D, I don't think Wiggins can come close to KZ.  KZ has a much nicer stroke and should up his long -distance averages as he goes along.  Also, KZ is a defensive force and blocks a lot and rim protects.

Maybe AW is maturing, but I wouldn't trust him.
Lotta points on losing teasms.

Go figure.

 Wiggy ............. Rebounds, assists and blocks are up and at career highs. 

Points as well

You don't just fall out of bed and get 25 a night over 25-30 games.

Greater USAGE, yes - but that is due to capability, as with all 25+ scorers.

You don't have to like him.  Last I checked his forum isn't about pleasing you.

[kiidcarter8]

Go figure.

Just looking at the box......

Apparently Knox and Smith were the low guys.  I think both these guys are gone by the deadline.

Payton needs to score more.  Barrett had a nice little bounce back.

PuhLeese. 

Smith?

Perhaps. 

Knox?

Nope. 

[lesterluv]

LOL, they were both pretty awful.

Significant minutes for either at this point means it's pretty much a lock that you will lose the game.

Doesn't really matter I guess.

[Kam]

I haven't been able to watch the last two games.
Judging from the box and the game flow we were good at first and good at last but awful in between.
Frank with the usual Frank statline.
Knox starting for Morris. Did not do much.
What's wrong with Morris?  Are we trading him?
This team needs Morris to have a chance of winning games.

Is feeling that way, ain't it. 

Grasping at straws at this point. 

RJ with a bounce back.  Likely followed by a suck out, then another bounce back.  Kid has character.  And a lot of work to do. 

Payton looking like a keeper.  Challenged as a shooter, but a solid rudder. 

Randle with a solid stat line. 

Dotson a step forward. 

But collectively...sluggish and out of sync.  Weird. 

Can't even work up a head of steam to get all bent out of shape. 

The "PROCESS" such as it is, will be slow and painful and centered on YUTE and draft picks, because cap space be damned, out free agent projection is pretty much null and void. 

I mean, Kiid fantasizing about Andrew Wiggins?  Meh.  His stat lines surely have improved, but signifying WHAT exactly?  Trade half our team for a savior Kiid?  Playing with KAT at center, no less, and they are 10-17.

Not exactly the second coming of Bernard King. 

Christ, how the mighty have fallen. 

Oh, well. 

To be a Knicks fan, is to suffer. 

Nothing left but to entertain trades, fantasize about the lottery and eviscerate Coach Miller. 

My PomPoms are wilting. 

Onwards. 

[carlos123]

C’mon Chip, you’re POSITIVE PUSSY #1. Can’t let your PomPoms wilt quite yet.

And I still believe in coach Miller. He ain’t no phony like Phizz, he makes sense when he speaks, can diagram plays out of timeouts and has to work with what he’s got, which ain’t much. This team not winning games without Morris, regardless of coach.

PS. I just don’t see a realistic trade that would help us at this point.

Neither do I. 

Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic. 

Draft picks at best. 

PS: When is Mitchell Robinson going to take a jump shot from the top of the key?  Why the fuck not.  What can he do?  MISS?  Open up lanes to cutters like Payton and Barrett if teams have to account for the eventuality MR won't simply hold on to the rock.

Cavs trade Clarkson to the Jazz for Exum and 2 2nd rounders. The ice has broken. Trade season has begun.

[bodiddley]

I like that the Jazz are trying to shake things up.
Exum was never good, always injured and they shouldn't have given him a 3/$36M contract or whatever it was.  Clarkson is sloppy, but can go on scoring binges.  And is healthy and expiring.

UTEs also waived Jeff Green after discovering he has Tm Thomas Disease.  And added a guy who was tearing up the GLeague.

Conley has been injured a lot, hasn't fit that well when he played.  and UTA has a weak bench.  They they addressed the bench by adding Clarkson's gunning and the G-League fireball.

Bogdanovich has been a great fit, but then Jingles went into a funk. 

Spo the idea is to get Conley healthy and integrated, and hope the extra scoring on the bench helps.

[bodiddley]

Just digging a little more.  Wiggins scorching NOV came mostly against weak sisters.   8 of 11 games against non-playoff teams.

Against better competition in DEC (6 of 10 playoff teams), Wiggy has shot 30% on 3's and averaged more turnovers than assists (3.4 - 2.9).  Last 5 games Wigs has averaged 4.4 turnovers (4+ in each game).

And his team has lost 10 in a row.  0-for-December.
My mistake: 11 in a row.

Easy schedule upcoming with 5 of 7 against weak teams.

[chipstern]

Just for Giggles.

Kyrie Irving, when healthy [When HEALTHY] is a seven-testicled motherfucker, of that there is no doubt. 

Brooklyn, riddled with injuries, has played 29 games this season and is 16-13.

Kyrie has played 11 games. 

In eight previous seasons: 51, 59, 71, 75, 53, 72, 60, 67.

When he has played, a motherfucker: 28.5 ppg, 5.4 boards, 7.2 assists, .937 FT%.

Yikes.

Didwiddie: 22.7 ppg, 2.9 boards, 6.2 assists, .836 FT%.   Keeps getting better. 

Our own Dennis Smith?

On a decidedly negative trajectory. 

Oh, well...

PS: Ironically, when Irving was on track, as the POST points out, for career best numbers, the Nyets were 4-7 with him in the lineup, and 12-6 with Dinwiddie manning the point.  Interesting, no?  One can imagine Knicks fans in the throes of despair with Durant in street clothes, Irving barely on the mend, and the losses mounting.  Oh, wait, the losses ARE MOUNTING.  My bad. 

PPS: The lesson?  Be careful what you wish for. 

PPPS: The Nyets were patient, very patient, and proactive with Dinwiddie, and he has gotten better and better EVERY YEAR.

Whether you celebrate Festivus, X-Mas, Chanukah or Kwanza

Happy Holidays gents

and fwiw KI is more an acquired taste, he goes well with a solid main course, but you can't plan the meal around him.

and its

'fuck, we're having Kyrie again tonight??
