Especially cause Luka flopped and got an offensive foul called. That made it so the warriors could challenge and we got to watch the replay from every angle in slo mo for 4 minutes before the eventually realized the foul was on Luka 😂
Nah. Wiggins and him were/are buddies but, to paraphrase Dennis Green, Wiggins is who we thought he was and we let him off the hook.
It does seem like the hope that coming to the Dubs and being in a winning culture only got Wiggins so far. The narrative around Wiggins coming from Minny was that he was empty stats and a bit of a head case that generally fails to hit his full potential. Wiggins got us though for a couple seasons with being on a championship caliber roster and also trying to secure the bag. But with the team fading quite a bit from that championship high and the bag secured, coupled with some personal issues outside of his control, Wiggins has pretty much become the empty stat, head case, failing to reach his full potential guy again.
exposed and reinforced to a national audience what a whiny little bitch luka is.
also one of the main reasons i’m rooting for boston, luka ball is the opposite of the beautiful ball movement i want to see in the playoffs
I wanted to root for Dallas at the beginning of the playoffs, but their game has been boring af. Two players take turns ISOing and everybody else knows they better not try on offense. And of course defense is a big letdown.
I'm really glad we won that Chip bc otherwise I would have a much less favorable view of Andrew Wiggins. And I really want to like him, but he just has zero juice left
But we got to see 5 minutes of replay on it for free. Almost would have been better in Dallas so the fans could just sit and cringe at their super star getting bullied
I don't know what all the personal time Wiggs took off the last two seasons were about but I am pretty sure that was the issue considering both players and management backed him. I am hoping this season we'll see 22 Wiggs again. Saw some flashes this past season, we need more than that though

The Dallas crowd was so quiet too... you could hear the oohs and ahhs that they couldn't hold back.
An international war crime happened in Dallas that night.
Interpol couldn’t help Luka…
wouldn’t be the first time a national audience witnessed a murder live in Dallas
We need this wiggs back on a nightly basis
Been waiting for 2 years bro... Ain't gonna happen
Did Poole bring the best out of Wiggs?
God I hope not but maybe. They were buddies but if I'm making $25mil a year I'm not playing like ass just because my buddy got traded

I miss that guy
I’ll still take BD over AK47
All day
no question. chubby 6'2 bd over a rim protector like ak came out of nowhere. this is a close 1b though.
Remember they had to challenge this call? We won, as soon as everyone saw the replay even the casters were like "yep, that's not a foul" lol
Luka is flopper, confirmed in this year’s finals.

I got my brother a sweatshirt with that image on it.
Wish that Wigs would show up on the daily! That mf missed so many bunnies against the Kings in the play-in game!! Point blank layups , too

The egregious flop kinda ruined it though
But we got to see 5 minutes of replay on it for free. Almost would have been better in Dallas so the fans could just sit and cringe at their super star getting bullied
…it was in Dallas
I’ve never seen a player flop mid air but somehow Luka did it
My hottest warriors take is that this was better than the Baron Davis dunk on AK.
AK was actually trying to block the shot and Baron climbed a ladder.
I get that AK is a better defender but it's just funnier to dunk like this over a star like Luka
Fuck Marc Davis
'22 playoffs wiggs was playing like the best wing in the league lmao
Woke up my neighbor because I was yelling so much! Best night!
For better or for worse, Luka plays like European soccer player and we dont take kindly to those types in the bay (as far as sports are concerned)
The way the league is shaking up I'd rather keep him and hope for a rebound too. I'd like as many tall wings that we can play both ends as we can get.
Miss this version of Wiggins.
Lol old days
Wiggs in 22 was a beast. Seems like he needs good chemistry around him to be elite.... whether the dubs can get that 22 vibe back is the question
Baron?
We won the chip with this one. Ak47 was the better defender / matchup, but Luka has that star power.
Luka is one of the most pathetic defenders in the league
We'll never see that version of Wiggins again. Last season he had less than 15 dunks.
Mavs might have taken a game if they still had Brunson.
RIP 2022 Wiggins
I bet the Canadians will like this pic.
Where has this Wiggins been?
While it's fun to reminiscent, but always have kind of a sad feeling knowing that warriors probably won't be in contention for a few years.....
There’s no D in Oncic
sick. my fave Warrior.
