I wonder if Dame is still hurting from the KAT kick. I cannot remember which hand it was, but having a sprained finger could effect him if swelled up over night. Though if he isn’t on the injury report he is probably fine.

Finch's approach to defense changes everything about this franchise moving forward. This is just the latest example:

It was his left hand, non shooting hand

Being willing to play a Naz and Karl pairing, not being forced to play a POA defender always, activity in the passing lanes, etc. It just opens up so many opportunities.

Vando better shine. Juancho gonna get plenty of minutes.


Side note, given that MCD was playing last night and is now in health and safety shouldn’t the game be cancelled and every player be a close contact?

I hear what your saying, I am just not sure how much of that is Finch scheme and how much is players willing to put in the effort. KAT and Naz playing together has such a small sample size it is hard to evaluate but I see your point about the philosophy. For me the biggest difference has been or rebounding. We are attacking the glass more and stopping some of the easy put backs. But, KAT still needs to stop over helping and commit to guarding the big. Only reason Kanter went off last night is because bigs kept cheating off him.

Vandy needs to pick up his dribble and just stop after he crosses half court. Lol

Rubio with good assists to Towns and Ant, both unable to convert but go to the line

I swear 80 percent of Towns coolest looking passes wind up being bricks.

I love how we bad the refs are tonight. No shame after screwing us last night. Gonna keep letting them hack away.
