    It was nice to see CW knock some of the concrete off his shoes. I had not seen him play much so I wasn't sure what to expect. Once he plays himself into shape he should be that burst off the bench offensively. Kind of seems like don't throw him the ball till you want him to shoot bc that is what he is going to do. Definitely got the ability to score for us.

    We would be better off with Wood playing up to his obvious potential than with Colin playing up to his hopeful, pie in the sky, potential. I would not give Colin the nod over Wood until he earns it and he has not earned it yet.

    The AD/Wood lineup is definitely intriguing - the rebounding, rim protection, and the shooting works well together

    Wood looks pretty good so far. Glad he’s here for many reasons and especially with that contract.

    Looked better against the small GSW.

    We even saw a fall for him.

    Favorite play was the coast to coast bucket. This is just the tail end of it

    Christian has a nice spin move with that quick, loong finishing step. He's had another that covered more ground than the one above.

    Was disappointing with how many offensive boards he and AD gave up vs the Bucks. This can’t happen when the games count.

    Have noticed that during the pre-season. Stop looking at the 3 Blind Mice. Refs have been bad, but he's expecting star calls. If Bron and AD ain't getting them, then he sure as hell ain't getting them.

    To his defense, Lopez should've gotten a taunting T. Can't step over players.

    Not sure circling the calendar for a matchup against a top 3 player is really the best idea. Hopefully Antetokounmpo doesn't circle it based on Wood's circle.

    Oh, the Freak is going to circle him alright. I'm not looking forward to seeing that matchup.

    He probably talks too much, so the freak publicly humiliated him after publicly humiliating him. Boss move.

    Doubt Wood can do anything about it, but it's seeing him think he can. If nothing else, he probably uses all 6 fouls that game.

    a giannis/wood beef is good for wood's profile, lol. it's like when my parents' schnauzer finally draws the attention of the neighbor's husky with her barking.

    Pretty sure they’re both messing around and actually friends with each other (further evidence against the “locker room cancer” narrative)

    Wood just needs to stop complaining to the refs- I will never understand why some pros never realize that this only makes it worse.
