The post right above yours showed you 92 of 101 general fans voted to KEEP Finch.

So are you wrong, or do you actually believe that only Finch-loving eastern coast fanbase voted? :lol:

On the General Board, 92 of 101 voters think MIN should keep Chris Finch.

It’s pretty obvious to anyone not super emotionally invested. Minnesota has been to two straight Western Conference Finals despite both teams having huge flaws.

Even with my criticisms of Coach Finch, firing him after a record like that would seem pretty dumb.

100%


34 years.. glad you guys are happy. No reason for discussing how we could improve..

No surprised most general nba fans want Minnesota to be content where they are. That is why the wolves get trashed when they make moves to improve themselves. I am sure the next big move Connely makes will be the worst nba trade in history or whatever those casuals say.

We can discuss how to improve all night long. I don't think firing our most successful coach ever is likely to improve the team.

Being happy with coming close is ingrained deep in this fanbase it’s sad. Next they will gloat how mid coach Finch has the best wolves coaching record ever…

Are you miserable and feel like $hit because we didn't win the title? How does a fan like you help us win championships. Your misery is going to push management, the coach and players to try harder? I wish we were in the finals now just like you and I want us to win the championship just like you.

Oh I see. You think RealGM fans have secretly conspired together to lie in an internet poll, because they think their poll will cause the real team to keep a bad coach!

More brilliance! :lol:


When you made these overly dramatic statements about what other western fanbases would do, the ACTUAL EVIDENCE shows you are wrong. That may be your opinion, and you’re free to express it, but don’t say it is everyone’s opinion because that’s not true.

And there’s no conspiracy. Stop digging.

I don’t think firing someone for the sake of firing him improves the team. It has to be about getting someone better. If Connolly has someone specific in mind, I’m not against it, but I also don’t think this team has underachieved with Finch. You look at teams like Phoenix or Milwaukee who have rotated through coaches the last 3-4 years and it hasn’t improved things.
If you’re going make a change, make sure it’s an upgrade, not just because you want to try something different.

So you don’t agree with what Denver did? They looked better than the wolves against okc.

They finished in the exact same spot they did last year. It wasn’t a clear success or failure.

Maybe they need better teammates.

Funny how this roster that everyone thought was so flawed during the season is now a HC away from titles.

Denver was the same team before and after. Adelman did everything Malone was criticized for. Played Westbrook too much, overplayed his starters, etc. they might’ve had that brief “new coach high” that allows seems to happen. But it doesn’t last.

They need a better head coach than the most successful Head Coach in team history. How many teams have made conference finals the last two years in a row? Answer 1.

You're getting real close to disciplinary action. Calling fellow posters here toady and bootlicker I have to believe is a violation of board rules.
