Building that chemistry

It was nice to see the Warriors get back on track with the pretty crisply played first half against the Pistons on 2022.01.19.DET-GSW. Ever since Klay Thompson came back, people have wondered how Andrew Wiggins is going to adjust. And this game had some promising plays, seeing Wiggins taking advantage of the Splash Brothers’ gravity and finishing off some good passes from Steph Curry and Klay. That's an encouraging sign for the future.

Watching Steph, Klay, and Wiggs, I keep picturing those two cartoon gophers from Loon(e)y Tunes:
“Dear Andrew, please take the open three.”
“Oh, but you’re much more open, Wardell.”
“No no I insist you be the one to shoot the ball.”
“Ah, but I took the last one and I’m slightly covered at the moment.”
“Quite right you are. What do you say we pass it over to brother Klay. He appears to be open.”
“Splendid idea!”
