At least Finch try to change something. Let's see the TO side.

Much better line up without Mike.

It's frustrating that Randle is just plain awful starting games way too often. Tonight he's gone 0-3 with 2 turnovers in the first 6 minutes.

We scored 7 points in Donte's 6 minutes.

We have as many TOs as made FGs.

Good effort so far

Enough for me... got to work. You are brave to watch this...

Tonight is the first time I've legitimately thought that Finch might not keep his job. There are getting to be just too many really bad games without any sign that the team has a clue how to turn things around.

Sorry Donte, your starting streak might last just one game. Next game, this might need to be the five.

Just stop to watch and we cut the deficit by a lot. I stop watching definitely

So the lineup that makes a lot of sense actually looks good when given a chance. Coming into tonight the Conley/Edwards/McDaniels/Reid/Gobert lineup had played a total of 19 minutes together with a net rating of 64.8. Maybe Finch should give that lineup a try as the starting rotation.

I love it when Jim Pete realizes our best lineup is the starters with Naz instead of Randle.

Donte might miss a few games with a hand injury. This could be an issue. Also playing Naz instead of Randle who knew… BESIDES EVERYONE AND THEIR PETS.

It's continuity from last season. They know their roles. That's why it's good.

Part of it yes. It is also more ball movement, better spacing, and more willing passing. Randle will share it but only after taking 10 seconds and almost getting stripped. Ant has been more willing to pass in this one. I just wish his shots were easier. The difference in most games is the opponents get more good looks, we hit more tough shots.

Should started earlier. For the rest of the game if I see a Rudy screen assist I will include time code. This was 8:50 3rd quarter. For those who say Rudy doesn’t contribute on offense.

Finally some signs of life.. keep it up.

Signs of life is the wrong way to phrase it. Finally some signs of pride/want to.

6:15 3rd quarter, Ant 3 on Rudy screen assist.

3:53 3rd quarter off ball screen prevents help and Rudy gets a screen assist on Naz drive and finish.

Randle is the worst Wolves player tonight by a massive margin. Maybe give him the rest of the night off and play Naz/Minott to finish the game.
