side note, and im probley crazy, but did anyone else notice on the last play that the bench sort of froze wafer out?

Luke makes the rebound, and wafer is screaming at him for the ball and waving his arms from right next to him, Luke almost shoulders him on the way by, looking straight ahead, and takes it over the half court line and hands it to Nate to dribble out the clock.

Wafer didn't even move to follow Luke up court

I noticed wafer was the only one not to cross into the front court to exchange the "good game, we killed you" daps session between the C's and pistons too.

I know, i'm crazy right? But i swear in real time i went "whoa...seems like that was kinda deliberate...and where the heck did wafer go? did he walk off the court with 20 seconds left?

I noticed that but I felt like Gody was just being a bit Goofy.

Wafer's play felt forced and selfish throughout. I noticed a couple of plays where instead of making any sort of attempt at moving the ball, he drove hard with little chance of success.

Obviously trying to prove he's worthy of his roster spot and minutes but I don't think that's the way to do it.

That's Wafer's biggest fault.  He's actually a good driver but instead of making a good play he gets in the air and then tries to find someone to pass to.  He either needs to make the good pass and avoid the turnover or at least look for his own shot.
