Chris Finch is our team's Doug Collins. We need a Phil Jackson.

Difference between the best NBA team and us. they were 2 step better than us all series. But we learn a lot this year. We have been pretty lucky to make the WCF beating Lakers no big, no bench, 40 years old LBJ and GSW without Steph begin a lottery team. We take opportunity but now we know we have to make some changes to go at OKC level. Great season overall, no regrets.

They're just playing for their future contracts.

Randle's been exposed more than any other player this series. He literally cannot dribble against this team.

I would unironically give Luka Garza a shot over Julius Randle right now. Not being snarky, Minnesota just needs any sort of effort.

Welp, this should show Tim Connelly that our offense is not good enough. We have been fairly easy to disrupt for years, we need a PG but we might have to rework our offensive approach altogether. Free flow seems to get destroyed against elite game planning.

Can’t dribble, post, pass or shoot. Literally nothing. Get him out

He can dribble shoot and pass when he's under control. As soon as he loses his dribble (Like Rudy) he needs to just grab the damn ball instead of trying to keep his dribble.

This is game 5 and we scored 9 points in the 1 st qtr. I would call a timeout 5 plays in. The team seems unprepared. We need a new voice. Connelly is going to have to earn his pay checks this summer. Figure out what to do with Randle, Naz, NAW, and KD. After that, find the coach that is best fit for this group.

NAZ regressed a bit b/c of the bad fit with Julius.

He was forced to play out of position.

We need a backup c. It was needed BAD since the beginning of the year.

Naz is very versatile as long as he is not FORCED TO PLAY C, which he was w Julius.

Jaden as pf, and Naz sf as they both develop their games is ideal.....

The iconic aspect of NAZ Reid, while FUN, within the fanbase, .. doesn't really matter. Performance is most important.

Hard to give up on NAZ, particularly considering we can sign him on a long-term deal that MAY not look that great initially, but. A LA Jaden, will be a steal in a couple of years.

At the end of the day, particularly considering lack of teams being able to find cap space, I vote for re-signing NAZ to as long of a deal as possible.

I hope Randle is not brought back next season

They miss a shot. They put their heads down.
They turn the ball over. They put their heads down.
They literally quit with 4 minutes into this game. Sad.

Keeping it real, Naz's horrible defense is the main reason why I am comfortable with letting him walk.
