It was a great shot, only because it went in, if he misses, many on here would be complaining about shooting it there at all, with the guy closing out on him.
He wasn’t wide open, but it was a shooting guard with a good look and in rhythm. He may have been 0-5 prior, but he made it when it really mattered. That’s what good players do.

The only reason Wigginton should pass up that shot is to get a teammate an even better shot, but we don’t have that chemistry yet.

Lol, no I don't, I only turned it off agaisnt Iowa. I always watch every conference game and if I can't I record it and analyze the game later.

Shayok was more open on all 11 of his attempts than Wigginton was on the last one. If you watched the whole game you would know that. You missed his first 3 probably since it wasn't on TV yet but they were all reported as open looks on Twitter

So that leaves 8 more where you said they were "more" wide open. If a defender got a hand up on even 1 of his threes that would make your statement false. You still wanna stand by that?

Yes. Unless he took a late in the shot clock 3 I don't remember he was taking wide open shots. Also FWIW Wigginton is my favorite player on the team

I played basketball so my knowledge is the best knowledge...

Shooters should shoot, unless they shouldn't shoot, then they shouldn't shoot.
Sometimes they should drive, sometimes they should pass.

It doesn't matter cause we're watching the game sitting on our ass.

Let the players play and the coaches coach.
Maybe try to refrain from typing every thought that comes to your mind during a game because, hey, the game of basketball still ebs and flows. Looking back at some of the posts on this thread during that last 4 minutes in the 1st half shows you all you need to to see how dumb it can make you look.

Our team is good, and will get better. Players will have bad games, role players will play out of their minds. It's ******* basketball.

Chill out and lets get more than 1 game into the conference season before we start labeling players as selfish or calling for someones starting spot, etc. etc. **** happens every year.

I enjoy the banter to an extent, cause you can actually talk through basketball with people, and get peoples thought, but some things are so tiresome and overplayed it makes me not want to engage with the threads at all.

One game is one game. And the good thing for us, although some may not be able to tell because of this thread, is we won the game.

I see Westbrook selfishly went 3-20 but unselfishly had 10 assists and 16 boards in the win against the Lakers last night.

You’re still going on about Shayok?
He took good shots. He missed more than anyone would like, but that doesn’t equate to being selfish, particularly given his track record.

Nearly everyone on the team could play smarter on offense. Given what we’ve seen the past couple years, maybe the improvement doesn’t happen, but it’s only Game 2 together.
