I know we are shorthanded but these rotations are garbage from Finch.


Finchy got playoff jitters.

He’s doing a Brad Childress double triple reverse psychology. The thing they wouldn’t wouldn’t wouldn’t expect. Odd line up here, weird sub there.

The Wolves look gassed. Nuggets and Kings both play at a rapid pace.

KAT has to bring it in the second half. Team cant afford to have him not scoring. He needs to get buckets.

Might have to let joker beat you by scoring and stay home on shooters. Can he score 40+ consistently while guarding the pnr?

We aren't going anywhere if Towns and Edwards don't start playing like stars.

Surprised we’ve wearing the sailor uniforms. We seem to play better in the city edition version.

Got to do something to kick start the offense in the 2nd half.
Put Jokic in pick and roll action and wear his ass out.

We have a lot more firepower than 44 pts in a half, shooting ourselves in the foot.
Time to come out with a 40 pt 3rd quarter and lock down their shooters.

This is nothing new. Wolves are not doing **** in post season until they upgrade their head coach.

Shooting splits of 39%/29%/50% are not going to get it done. The Wolves either need to shoot better or this game will be over pretty quickly.

Towns is trying to get it all back in one shot. Pressing

This is an ass-kicking. Got zero poise right now. Denver executing left and right. We are playing slop ball.

3 possessions in a row thrown away on bad passes to Gobert.
I've been watching this movie all season long.

Gobert on offense in the playoffs is exactly as advertised. There's no hope trying to get him involved.

If he has a THIRD poor showing IN A ROW in the playoffs; can we talk about trading him?

Or, is that still considered taboo on this board?
