Finch and the staff made a lot of mistakes last year scheme and otherwise. I love Finch but last year I was super down on him. It was warranted.
This year they made the very changes we talked about last year to their credit. Last year is a distant bad memory. This year they've done most everything right especially with the defense and next with how they use Rudy. They're using Rudy exactly as I wanted them to last year. I'm not the only one to see the obvious. Mike Conley is a revelation.
We're finally a really good team. It's taken us long enough. We, as fans so deserve it. And then some.
There are some things that really frustrate me (lack of in game adjustments #1), but it's not all on him.
He called a timeout to tell Rudy to play tighter on Anthony Davis and he did it for exactly one possession.
Ant took like 10 step back 3's again tonight.
Maybe he does need to be a little stricter, especially with the offense and playcalling, but you can't argue with the overall results so far, and the team does play really hard most nights.
The defense in the last 2 minutes tonight, wow that was the stuff championship teams are made of.
We took one of the most potent offenses in the league and made them look like middle schoolers for a couple minutes.
