Dray: "You just need to tell Wiggs what you need and he will do it" on why Wiggs is playing better with Dray back.

So nobody asked Wiggs to play better like Dray did?

Either that or Wiggs has big respect for Dray

maybe in-game specific instructions during each play

I think it's more that he doesn't thrive on chaos. Dray is putting some order back in the rotations, I think.

Man it's so nice to watch JK play big minutes and not having to worry about him screwing up the game anymore. He's a staple in the rotation now even with everybody healthy. We were so hard on the 19/20 year old (then) and we still are. He's been fantastic.

Also glad to see him regain his composure after getting frustrated. I think last year, he would have spiraled, but instead he made the Sixers pay.

How often do we outscore the other team from the line? Did the league put out the word or what?

Did Loon play in the second half?

He honestly played ok during his first stint with Dray on the bench. Then genius coach put Dario out there with him and the two of them activated their DOONEY superpower.

He only played in the first quarter

No, and we won easy against a big team.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah, with Dray back, I think Steve is sorting his big-man rotation out. Good sign.

Draymond is so good that he made the Kuminga/Wiggins pairing viable

Expand full comment

I mean kinda, but I think they both just leveled up their games at the right moment, too.

I think those lineups are tough without another playmaker like Draymond in them

Steph Hugged Kittle ! Go Niners - you have curry juju now - have to win the superbowl

Kittle wearing a Looney jersey is fun

Feels like we have won after a long time

So many empty seats. Seems People didn’t even stay till the end to finally see the team win.

That Kuminga back door kind of felt like a GPII backdoor where he just sneaks in there.

Way to wrap up the win in front of the NFC champs, let's keep this up! Love to see Steph give the hug to fellow joy-warrior Kittle.
