Rob was exactly what we needed in that 4th quarter, but Finch refused to play him. There hasn't been a better game to play Rob this season. I swear Finch's lineup decisions are going to get him fired.
No he was not. I love Rob as the future pg of this team but holy fuck they hit 3 threes over him in the first quarter he can’t guard anything and if he isn’t making every shot right now he is a net negative if he isn’t shooting lights out
They needed someone who could score down the stretch. Naz Reid was the guy. Rookies can do it but how often do they actually succeed? Not often. We got very unlucky with so many players out. It was the biggest loss of the season I'd say. We needed that win, but i think the young guys can grow from losses like these. It will make them work harder hopefully.
@@aximus11He just turned 20. He's gonna have bad stretches. He's also the future, and he was our best offensive option in that game with our other 4 top scorers out. Give him a chance. I couldn't agree less with your take.
@@aximus11 so what they still lost lol literally had nothing to lose by playing him
Joe Ingles was our best player. I think Rob should’ve got some minutes for sure
I'm losing my patience with Finchy
Just remember watching the Wolves offense become stale late in the game and KNEW Finch wasn't going to change anything... then post game was him saying "thinking on it now, I should have..."
Definition of insanity... same thing over and over again
Same story this entire season
I don't understand why Finch is so stubborn?? Everyone remember spamming the comments for months to please change the starting line up??? Then he finally added DDV and Boom a spark happened???
the one good thing that came out of it is that it proves that Finch is the problem with the offense, not Ant. Everyone keeps blaming Ant for how they play down the stretch, but theyre just executing Finch's dumb offense
Finch is a shit coach. Literally have 8 loses due to him making horrible closing minute decisions
Finch is single-handedly making it seem like we hate Minnesota Mike 😂 But we don’t, we just want to see our young kid play! At least I’m pretty sure MN fans don’t hate Mike 🤔
I’m almost to the fire finchy vibe.
To quote some other nba guy i saw this weekend, " I don't care if Luka was smoking cigarettes dribbling the ball up the court, you give Luka the supermax."
Perfect game to let Rob win or lose it but get that experience
Exactly! What are you doing here?
Dallas is basically making their team into last year's wolves team
Finch isn't a good coach... yall will get that some day.
Been saying it for 3 years now
Rob has to play perfect to get any time in the 4th. I don’t get it… yes he struggled in the 3rd, but he played well the first half and the offense statistically performs when he’s on the floor.
He has to play perfect because he is a no factor on defense he is so short and light that players score on him at will
@@aximus11and despite that the team performed better with him on the floor in the Wizards game than guys like Mike and Clarke. There’s more to the game than defense
@@aximus11 side note… maybe if his defense is such a concern Finch should find a way to not play a bulk of his minutes with Luka Garza as well
finch choosing to stick with conley no matter how bad he’s playing is the most stubborn thing i’ve ever seen conley is statistically the least clutch player in the nba and has absolutely no energy rob is already a better passer than mike and scoring wise there is nothing to talk about!
Conley is his binky lol. I think he views him as an extension of himself on the court so he has a hard time letting go.
Then they shouldn't have let Anderson walk. He is a more competent floor general at the moment then Conley. I love me some Bite Bite but his last good years were spent with Mitchell in Utah. We were lucky to even get his level of production last year @@colesmith193
Finch should very well be on the hot seat as of late. I understand the trade that shipped KAT to NY for DDV and Randle puts a wrench in things. At the same time, there have been games where he refuses/refused to play the young guys. If anything for energy and a spark at times. Perhaps the Wolves would have 6 to 8 more wins. Just my thoughts. And playing to bad teams levels, especiall recently, is getting old. And Dillingham deserves more play time being a top 10 pick.
I like McDaniels but, I have higher expectations of him after 4+ years in the league. He lacks an inner fire and he frustrates me. For his salary, I would be ok if he gets traded.
The KAT trade defenders that always cite flexibility as the excuse to trade KAT for peanuts need to start explaining what flexibility they will have with no picks and up against the 2md apron. That excuse would make sense if they had a clear plan to replace KAT's production, they dont and they are stuck with 2 aging players and are gonna overpay 2 roleplayers. Ant will demand a trade within 2-3 years, maybe then theyll finally admit the trade was a dud
Let Rob cook
dillngham had a rough game against wizzards. i can explain why finch didn't put him in the fourth quarter. but my god at least give him a chance finch come on.
Rob has to be perfect in order to get minutes. Everyone else is allowed to mess up. Conley looks terrible out there
NBA brass forced Towns and Luka Dončić to big market i believe they both were stupid, unless you are trying to help big market
It'll help boost short term ratings. Short sighted decisions are a trademark of the Adam Silver era
Can we all admit the trade of Towns to the Knicks for Randle and Donte was an absolute bust and ruined this team. I blame Glen Taylor. He loves his Lynx, but cheap for Wolves!
Watching the expressions of Phil and Judd as Kyle pines about "this fat guy" was the closest you will get to seeing an "advanced age" Luka's expressions at being called "fat." It rivaled Luka's reaction to Michael Finley wresting Luka's celebratory can of beer after administering the beat-down of the Wolves at the WCF. One of the better Flagrant episodes, though I disagree with the Dilly/Finch takes.
Mavs fans were so obnoxious all over every comment section of this channel and every other bit of wolves content I follow just ruthlessly mocking us (almost as if none of them had jobs). And the image of Luka’s fat face screaming at Rudy and mn fans after making crazy shots is still burned into my brain. This is humbling for both Dallas fans and Luka and I love it!
Finch has been so infuriating this season with his rotation management, especially to close out games. He has to let these young guys play more. He needs to recognize when his guys are gassed or offense is cold and bring in Dillingham or Clark. TSJ should also be playing when healthy as well.
Get your young fresh players in and pushing the pace to wear out your opponents. That is what teams are doing to the Wolves, wearing them out with the bench in the 3rd or early 4th and stealing wins in clutch time.
Our team with ANT and KAt and Our draft capital would be better than 1 west conf run. Way better. We got Gobert and Randel and no draft picks.
Ingles was a team high in plus minus and the best chance to win the game. I get that rob needs to play but the standings are so close that every win matters. Also everyone loves and respects joe so there is something to be said about giving him some run to prove that he knows how to win, we might only see it for one or two games the rest of the season
Of course Phil lackey tried to sneak in this is like the KAT trade hahahahaha this guy is such a joke trying to justify his terrible takes.
Is that why you’re here watching his show?
Finch is scared to play Rob who they traded up for because of his defense. He also vouched heavy for a guy who can't play D, Randle, from coaching him in New Orleans. Man I'm getting tired of this dude.
What is Kyle’s hat and why they brand themselves to look like that?
Phil Hackey pretending that Luka was traded to the Lakers because he's overweight.
The wolves have two players who can consistently move the offense without AE: Naz and Randle (formerly Towns). Not having Ant completely changes the way the offense works. Hopefully going forward Dillingham will be another piece to help the offense function without Ant.
I actually don't blame Book for thinking Garza. No one would assume you mean Mavs just traded Luka lol. Also KG was 18 when he came in. You're still growing at that age.
I keep hearing how many picks Rudy got, but how much is Anthony Davis worth?
Yeah I'm over it fire Finch the guy is actively harming the growth of this team. Rob is a must play guy to get him accustomed to playing in the NBA and playing with Ant, at this point just trade him and let him get playtime on another team like wtf.
I think you would be safe taking the over on Luka scoring 100 if the Lakers go to Dallas in the playoffs
Why they didn't trust Shannon to provide some offense is beyond me. Also, Minott must really be in the dog house. A loss that should put Finch on the hot seat.
It sounds like the owners are trying to get some power back from the players. These supermax deals will pay almost a 1,000,000 per game. RIDICULOUS
Finch must leave now, this game was proof of that, players no longer respect him
Yea the end of the game decisions were certainly questionable and I’m mostly a finch defender. They just needed one last scoring push and the end Rob should’ve been out there.
Wolves are going to lose anyways, mine as well let the kid play. Finch is quickly turning into a turd
free rob
Dear “OL-JACK-A-STAT”,
Positive PTSD is here to tell you that ….
- Finch is an elite HC
- Rudy is an amazing rebounder
-Ant is super mature
- Ant is as clutch as they get
- Ant is best 3 point shooter in NBA
- Kat is the missing piece 🐱
And before the season …… if I had told you ……..
(Enter useless sentence here 🎯)
You would of took that right ???????
So stop crying dude … you’re worse than Viking fans. (AND 100x more invested)
I feel a rift between finch and connelly that you guys are not discussing.
Does anyone like Julius Randle for Nic Claxton? Then we have a backup center who can be Rudy's successor, and Naz or Jaden can start at PF. The numbers are a few million off, but BKN has a few expiring contracts and young players to make it work.
Positive PTSD is here to console all super invested Wolves fans (Ol-Jack-stat) that talk about the Vikings , BUT COULDNT CARELESS ABOUT THE TEAM.
If before the season …I had told you
(ENTER USELESS DISINGENUOUS STATEMENT HERE 🎯)
You would of took that deal , right Ol-Lack-a-fact??
overall body of work - what has Finch done? Disappointment, Disappointment, overachieve -, disappointment ... Finch can go - We ain't losing out on a championship because of FINCH - Finch is not some top tier coach, Ant likes him - so what?? this sends ant a message
Lead the team to their best season in 20 years? He’s pretty obviously changed the culture for the better compared to what it was before he was the coach. He’s made questionable decisions this season, but to act like he hasn’t done anything here is honestly crazy.
Ant changed the culture of the organization, not Finch
@ so then why did they finish 23-49 with ant on the team and then the very next year when finch comes in they go 46-36 and make the playoffs? Finch obviously had to a lot to do with that. So did ant. To say finch had nothing to do with that is an admission that you don’t know what you’re talking about.
@@Tommythademon - Ant was a rookie, and Finch became the head coach during the 2020 season, when they went 23-49
@ he was named head coach at the end of February. Ryan Saunders was the coach of that team and got fired near the end of the season. Try again dude. Once again proving you do not know what you’re talking about. They immediately took a huge jump his first full season as the coach. If you think that had zero to do with him and 100 percent of it was because of Edwards then we can’t have a conversation because your anti finch bias is blinding you from the truth.
The Wolves need expansion and a move to the eastern conference now more than ever.
Nothing is bigger than wins and losses in sports. Nothing is bigger than championships.
Everday julius is on this team i loose 10 seconds of life
California state income tax (the highest bracket) is 12.3%.States with no income tax also make it up with a combination of higher sales/property taxes and lower to no local services which render them very shitty places to live.
Dallas has the best defensive frontcourt in the NBA + Christie on the perimeter. I’m still shocked that Dallas didn’t shop around, but the Mavs will be better than people think.
If they shop around Luka will find out and most likely pick and choose where to go
@aximus - maybe in picks, but other than maybe Giannis, who are they going to get that’s better than AD right now?
Totally agree. I think if they can get fully healthy they are maybe the 2nd best team in the West. Not sure why so many people on instagram and X are acting like the Mavs will be a bad team now. I still think it was a bad trade cuz they shortened their window significantly, but they are still in good position to win now.
No sports Dad, I never got sick of KAT. The only thing I didn't like about KAT was his crying like a B 🐝
1st thing on the menu for lebronze and luka is a vacation to South Beach to get Luka in shape. 😂
A loss now is bad to the Wiz - you might miss the playoffs by one game - horrible loss. Are you kidding?
The problem in chris finch... Micah nori will play young player..
Finch has been frustrating
Love mike, but he shud be playing that “jordan mclaughlin” 12-16 minutes ffs, let Rob grow, build his confidence who knows he might be our version of fox or garland
All these franchise altering trades and we got gobert and julius cool
Dang If you a fan of the cowboys and mavericks you gotta be hating life right now 😂😂
You're high on crack to actually believe this trade makes dallas better. This trade was criminal and should tell people exactly what this league is about. Also, Dallas' new Maga owners are cheap and crazy hoarders who will destroy that franchise.
Luka? Oh you mean white James Harden
I hear we're trading Ant to NY to get Kat back.
Finch needs to go.
Eveything everyone is now called generational ...wtf lol
Wemby is overrated
so tired of these BS excuses
Finch acted like the old UTAH team of Gobert, Connelly and Old MAn from the Y was special - he wanted to rejuvenate a 50 win, but NO championship team - 10 years later. he's a goofy - that is his coaching intuition on display, his gut told em to ride the old guys...lol what a goofy
What is this obsession with rushing Dillinghams progression?
You can always tell when a fanbase is used to losing. The reason the team started as slow as they did is because the players are as emotional as you guys.
I disagree completely. I say throw him in when you have your stars available to boost his confidence. playing him in this situation is dumb because it does nothing for his confidence and he small as is. he needs help defensively! imo anyways
Rookies needs reps. You don't hide him in a short handed game against a bad team. If he needs ro be hidden away then he's a bust and the GM needs to be fired
Rob sucked in the 2nd half.. did some bone headed stuff.. plus Conley helped us comeback and was playing great.
