Game 75: DET at MIN

[Baseline81]

Every basketball game has two halves. That was one of them.

Brilliant analysis, Klomp. Exactly why I come to this board.

Is TSJ lowkey on Finch’s ****??

Guy was playing well mid-season, and isn’t particularly young. If he cannot sniff a minute with ddv gone, then trade him. Finch is a clown

Gobert with 17 points, 19 rebounds so far. 20/20 game?

Great second half. We fight hard. Outstanding performances from big Ju, big Ru and ANT.

I like Terrence Shannon Jr. a lot, but he has some problems with decision making. The truth is that Jaylen Clark (who is a younger player that Coach Finch is playing!) is a much more stable player for the coaching staff to pick.

Not sure why Finch is getting heat here, Minnesota is playing good ball tonight.

Rudy Gobert has been cooking smaller centers the past few games.

Almost but no (I don't think he is coming back in), 24 RB and 19 pts. Yes, Gobert for MVP

Beas not talking that **** anymore

His best game in my memory. It's a shame he rarely brings it. We desperately need this Rudy. He played engaged and possessed.

I'm proud of the guys effort this half. Mike Conley is playing his best ball now too.

I'm loving Jaylen Clark playing in crunch time. Finch is finally getting it.

It’s not that rare. This is fourth straight double-double

19 PTS, 25 RB is extra special though. Not numbers you get if you just “bring it.”

Important win, tough game against Denver coming up.

[TimberKat]

Didn't want Garza back in the game. He was in an exclusive club of most points by a player with zero minutes

[Dalvin]

Aaaaarrrrrrrooooooooo!!!!!! Great comeback and we just passed the Clippers!

[Loaf_of_bread]

6 player rotation after ddv, naz ejected.. Great win, but i don't get it.

Exactly what Denver is saying too!

Let’s sweep em 4-0 this year!

[FrenchMinnyFan]

Great performance. They play without Cunningham but we play without NAZ and Donte large part of the game. Rudy is getting to Rudy level, finally his injury was a blessing, he seems fresh and totally dominating the rim. Randle is All Star level when he play this way. ANT doing his ANT things. Mike ended a complete month of March shooting 60% and 60% at 3, not bad for an old guy . Hope we can stay at 7 or getting 6.

Finch is worse than adelman was.

[winforlose]

The refs were bad tonight. Like so bad in the first half you would think they had money on the game. The illegal screens for Beasley were out of control. The ejections cost us scoring, but it cost them defense. Losing Beef Stew meant they lacked size. Losing Sasser and Holand also hurt their depth. Big win.

Far, far too many nights he under achieves. Double figures like 10 and10 don't impress me. Blocking out, blocking shots, rebounding like a demon is what impresses me. He just doesn't do it anywhere enough for me, especially for the money he makes.

Tonight shows what he can be. He needs to be that for us to go anywhere.

Maybe we're starting to play our best ball when we need to. Can we start being consistent every night like good teams are.
