Re: Wolves vs Pistons
I had a new thought about DLo today. I saw a couple of the Piston’s try to steal the ball from him, and Russell immediately drove strong to the hoop for lay ups.
Now, it makes sense to attack when your defender is behind you, so maybe that’s nothing. But it also made me think that DLo needs motivation. If a guy steals from a deliberate player like DLo it makes him look bad. DLo also seems more motivated when Towns is out, like he needs the motivation to play hard.
Now, I may be off an island here, but I tend to think that Russell sees himself as a professional, who shouldn’t get too high or too low. Perhaps he thinks he and his teammates are so talented, that he just needs to be “okay,” and his job is to get everyone else the ball. He talks about being uncomfortable finding that balance between scoring and being a distributor. I wonder if this confusion robs him of his motivation to just go hard? And he needs special circumstances like potentially being embarrassed or the Wolves having injured players to find more motivation?

Re: Wolves vs Pistons
Chris Finch is going to have to go. This team is pretty inexcusable at how it functions plus effort. It's up to the coach to instill discipline with a team.

Re: Wolves vs Pistons
This a hilarious.
Chris is so gone next year.
Injuries or not. Detroit shouldn’t even be close to competing with our available talent.
Nowell can go too. Need more KA type guys. Smart, savy, serviceable vets.

Timberwolves are historically awful in regards to defensive rebounding.

Re: Wolves vs Pistons
Being honest, I don't think this mess is his fault at all, but Chris Finch probably needs to go.
Return to Minnesota Timberwolves
