Is this Finch? That why you benched him for entire overtime?

We have too many one way players. McDaniels is garbage right now on offense. He’s literally not defended and still can’t score. Randle has been beaten to death. He is what he is. Gobert. Even Dilly is one way because of his size limitations on D.

I also didn’t have DDV being a below average shooter so far on my bingo card. This team looks flat out bad right now. We play much better, at least by eye test, with a Gobert/Naz front court than with Randle on the floor.

Everyone should be, wolves would be much better with a better coach , one that has better rotations, can call timely timeouts and isn’t so **** stubborn.

Why go away from the spark (Rob) that brought you back???

Explain the mistakes and get him back in when OT starts.

The way things are going right now Finch and Connelly might both get fired.

The last 10 minutes of the game (in 4th and OT) the Wolves shot 0-9 on 3s. It's almost impossible to win a close game with that poor of shooting in crunch time.

Randle hanging out top of the key calling for the ball cannot happen.. guy is a decent 3pt shot from the corner, and need him crashing. Seems like pickup ball to me. Randle wants his, and players given freedom.

Good to lose these games though. Keeping confidence amongst players and coaches low is a good thing.. we are playing very poorly.. eeking out wins doesn't help.

I get the strong impression that Finch is terrified of hurting the feelings of our vets. He doesn't appear to be watching the same game as the rest of us.

We are 17 games in and it seems all we really might have is a chance to watch the young guys develop and see what we have.

Trade everyone not named Ant for cap space and picks or let the vets sit and earn every minute of playing time.

After years of being a bad franchise we finally have a good team that was locked up to play through their a good portion of their primes and it finally had success. Then instantly broken up to save some money and "flexibility" which resulted in 2 trash players and negative vibes.

What did we as a fanbase do to deserve this?

Nothing. They break all of our good toys and leave us with nothing but a box of broken crayons.

TNT scrambling to flex our games off the schedule ASAP.
