it appears Podz says “Cmon wiggs” assuming he wanted the pass Wiggins responds with “Fuck is you talking about nigga?” Is there tension in the locker room?👀
wiggs jus said “fuck is you talking about nigga” after drawing that foul, not sure to who👀
In response to the video surfacing on social media, the Dub Nation engaged in a debate, picking sides. Here are some reactions from fans.
Wiggins never gets mad like this 😭😭😭 podz better stop before he get his ass beat

Wiggins is right wtf he talkin bout
Wiggins is one of few players who does not talk back….Podz just awaken the kraken in him.
While some section of the fans took Andrew Wiggins‘ side, others sided with Podz and blamed the 29-year-old for not passing the ball to the rookie.
I said the same thing watching Wiggins on that play.
I don't think this is much about the pass but rather wiggins looked sloppy and slow and didn't have any intensity, he left the ball exposed and thats what Podz is upset bout plenty of open players dont pass for the layup. to me its more to do with how lackadaisical wiggins was

Nah man. Wiggins was jogging like he’s in the park. Would’ve been an easy dunk if he sprinted like Podz
Nevertheless, the heated exchange didn’t seem to impact the team in any fashion. In fact, the team put up a stellar performance in the following quarter to widen the lead. The team produced an all-round effort in the third quarter, with a 32-18 run and extended the lead to 14 points.
Importantly, both Wiggins and Podz stuck to their role and delivered accordingly, even after the heated exchange. Apart from them, Klay Thompson has taken up the job to fill in Stephen Curry‘s shoes. So far, he has done a decent job, but the team also needs someone to step up to improve the team’s offense.

While the fans debate over the brief snippet of heated exchange, the Dubs have had much more serious debacles in the locker room. Let’s take a look at some of the Warriors’ bench rivalries.
The Warriors bench problems
This season started off with a minor Steve Kerr-Jonathan Kuminga tussle, but it was immediately sorted out when Kuminga was pushed to the starting line-up. Apart from that, the team remained a happy bunch throughout the season.
However, in the last season, the team had one of the worst report card in terms of camaraderie. It’s not a shock anymore whenever someone pulls out the Draymond Green-Jordan Poole issue. It all began when Green threw a punch at Poole during a practice. The after effects of the ugly act reflected throughout the last season.
Apart from that, there were multiple occasions where Green and Kevin Durant‘s heated arguments on the bench during their championship run. Fortunately, tonight’s heated exchange didn’t affect the game’s result, as the Warriors took home a comfortable 112-102 win. Will the Wiggs-Podz issue blow after tonight? Let us know in the comments.
