    Good god...this man did not want the Giannis assignment on D and was content shooting those 3s. Man up please. Rant over.

    CW never defends the 5.
    He never boxes anyone out.
    He never sets a solid pick.
    He never crashes the offensive boards.
    He's selfish.
    His game is predictable.
    His basketball IQ is low.
    His body's too valuable to waste on defense.
    He only cares about looking good out there.

    Please get rid of him fast.

    It's Silas' job to tell him that he is NOT a playmaker and having him jog the ball up court instead of finding our guards is costing us possessions.

    I don't think I've ever seen Christian make a play by becoming the primary ball-handler off a defensive rebound. He just picks up his dribble and looks for a guard 8-10 seconds into the clock instead of just giving it to them after grabbing the board. It's stifling the offense.

    We need to defend Giannas with a shorter player, I would like to see Tate and KMJ on him....someone that can try to steal the dribble before he gets into the lane.....

    BTW - he takes 3 steps all the danged time.

    Need to trade Wood before other teams realize how bad he is at team ball.

    I just don’t trust Wood in clutch moments.

    Dude is playing so soft when we need points.

    Miss rebounds, bricking or turnover.

    What’s sad is he has the length and speed. Bro just go into the defense! You’re gonna get a call half of the time!

    The play Giannis spun on Tate - Wood should of been there to block or alter shot…. He gave up the layup

    Wood doesn’t think ahead, (BBIQ) so many of his passes are late to cutters or out of desperation

    He plays hero ball …

    He doesn’t set solid screens , horrible at boxing out

    Will he improve? Maybe… I doubt it.

    Martin was on him in the 4th and it didn't work out great.

    So I truly do think Wood can be a good player on a contending team, but as a so-called first option he has waaaay too many flaws to lead a team anywhere. His decision-making is pretty suspect, though some of his terrible shots went in today. But with a good point guard he can thrive.

    I don't know if he's going to be here long-term but like everyone else, Wood has a lot of work to do and needs to keep getting better.

    The man sucks. Literally king of empty stats. I never care about his stats because guys like him aren't and never will be game winners. If Houston gives him the max, it's over.

    Trade him and Gordon WELL before deadline please. Sengun needs time and Gordon... is well Gordon. Throw in House in one of the trades and say he is on da House.

    yup, he's fools gold. His post game is weak. i thought we did better with Sengun in there regardless of woods stats. Sengun took in on Giannis and played solid defense. Woods a nice player, but a lot of what he does on offense is given back on the defensive end. he doesn't do the dirty work. 20 million a year max.

    Only 1 Giannis in the league.

    Wood is alright for that money, no complaints, should be showcased and end of story.

    Gordon was on him.

    I believed Tate rotated on him, help defended him. There were literally 3 shorter defenders on him at times.

    He is getting the calls, there is no other way.

    You can only hope that he has a bad game and misses layups.

    Didn't PJ do a good job on him with Miami?
