This is a coaching problem and they are too stubborn do make adjustments.

I'm not seeing ball movement and 3 pt shots in rhythm. We drive into crowds and force the ball. We try to make Rudy an offensive star.

The coaches tell them what to do.


I'm ready for a new coach. If you want to win a title, Finch is not it.

I am trying to look at the positives. This is a youngish team and is still getting better. We need a point guard option other than Conley. I love Mike Conley going back to his Grizz days but we need someone that has years to go instead of the other way around.

We weren't quite sure if it was embarrassing or not. Needed your dumbass to know it was.


12 hour suspension for personal attacks.


Um...I've probably been a fan of this team longer since you've been alive. No need to insult me. I'm not going to stop rooting for the Twolves because they lost one playoff game. :roll:

To be clear, this is not acceptable. Other folks will also be suspended if personal attacks continue.


Thank you.

Agree. Talentwise we are right with or maybe ahead of Dallas. Coachingwise we are getting killed. Finch is being exposed this series and he has to go.

I love watching Gobert escort guys to the basket so nicely.
A true gentleman.

I mean Gafford is shooting like 40% from the line for the series, it would be such a disaster if (gasp) he somehow ended up fouling him.

When will we learn NOT to pass the ball to Rudy in traffic? Lesson in futility. I bet we had 5 blown opportunities passing the ball to Rudy tonight even if 1 or 2 worked.

We are all disappointed but it's still just one game and really not going to change the approach that worked so well. What is surprising is our point of attack defense is so bad all series. Because we don't play switching and double much in the season we are bad at doing that too. Gobert does suck today but can't erase the entire season's worth of accomplishment.

What about our bench? Total failure this series except for the one Reid game.

NAW was none existing. KA played reasonable well. However this one turns out, we were still close to winning game 1 and game 2.

Rudy has been a monster failure this series. In fact ever since the baby he's been way below average.

Give us that Murray guy you've got :D


Hawks and TWolves are my 1 and 1A teams. I've done mock trades on NBA 2k for two years now sending KAT to Atlanta for Murray. I just don't think any other situation really works for both teams. I don't think Taylor wants to move KAT especially after how far the team got this season.

This is the best HC we’ve ever had. We need more than one reliable shooter for sure. We built ourselves to beat Jokic. Now we have to add to it to get firepower to compete against Luka and any competent scorer.


That is debatable, but it don't matter, Finch still sucks.

Can we get real? Minnesota is not firing their coach who brought them to their first Western Conference Finals in two decades.

Criticizing the coaching is one thing, but this is just super silly.

Finch isn’t a championship winning coach:/ then again teams win championships with superstars, right now Ant is the only one that can become that and still has a long way to go, we need to get another one. that’s not Kat, that’s not Gobert, that’s not Jaden.

One positive note: If you make the playoffs, there is only one team that will end the play-in/play-off with a win. All the other 19 team will end their season with a loss.
