Rudy gets called for a cheap foul 14 seconds in to the game.

I swear the NBA implemented the rule last year than any offensive player who makes a “non-basketball move” was at fault. Like stopping suddenly when a defender is trailing you. Why the f was Rivers called for a foul when clearly Dame did a sudden stop with rivers trailing?

Also. Do you think we can ever be allowed to play defense of the refs are going to call EVERYTHING ticky tacky against us ? Such blatant bs

Can't defend for squat right now.

It's what a real franchise cornerstone is supposed to look like.

Prime example number 3000 why an elite guard>>>ellite big in today's game. Why we have to hope that Ant turns into a monster because he's our only shot at becoming a contender, when a guard gets going there is nothing you can do.

Finch is a loser. Should have been a TO after the second 3 in a row. Were up to 5 threes made and a 10pt lead stretched to 22 and still no TO.

It's just too easy for Portland. DLo end up defending a big too many times. You can't have him in a game like this when there is two attacking guards. Of course just as I am putting this msg together, Wolves gave up 3 3s with DLo on the bench. Just call it a night and pack up and head over to LA

Look what happens when a coach knows talent and goes outside the system to let said player be said player.

Another example, Manu, look what Pop has to say about letting Manu be Manu even when it drove him crazy.

He's saving the timeouts when we get close in the 4qtr or wait until we are on a 5 on 4 break.

This team sucks. I hate the NBA. Such a boring brand of basketball to watch anymore. Chuck 3s and trick refs into calling fouls.

Fans are getting fed up with Finch. KAT was the early scapegoat but now the attention is turning. Like I said before, Finch is the easier big move they can make if things stay sour.

I think he's a decent coach, but it's clear he has some serious flaws.

This team needs structure with how many guys we have with questionable bbiq. He let's them do the free flowing offense and refuses to call timeouts to stop big runs.

Even without watching a game, I can predict who specific posters will say is responsible when we lose.
