[Finch] after Towns scores 62 points in the loss: “It was an absolute disgusting performance on defense and immature basketball all the way through the game… this is what happens when you have this type of approach”

  1. off context is this the worst 60 point performance of all time

  2. RZAoverSZA

    Blud youre the coach

    Why did you take towns out instead of rudy when Rudy was getting a layup line run on him by guards and he couldnt rebound over guys 5 inches shorter than him

    How tf can a team play ‘immature basketball’ the whole game while youre standing on the sideline watching them? Do they not listen to you?

  3. JustWinBabys

    I’m back to Jimmy was right. Fuck Jimmy though

    Option 1: defend your star player who had a career game and the rest of your team from the terrible officiating in the 4th

    Option 2: tear into your star player who had a career night as if he was the reason the team lost the game

    How are you a coach choosing option 2. Especially with media lol. Come home to NY KAT

    Looking at this slate of games last night only a few stuck out to me, but it ended up being a hell of a night for basketball fans on several fronts.

    This season ends with Kat crying in his gf’s arms again if they don’t stop some of this foolishness. Can’t win with these Kats

  7. MagicalHurdles

    I get it – feed the hot hand, but I was surprised when the coaching staff kept KAT in the game at the end of the 3Q. KAT played the whole 3Q. Should’ve taken the Embiid/Luka approach and sub KAT back in at the 7-6 minute mark.

  8. Weird way to title this to make it seem like Finch is speaking about KAT individually instead of the whole team.

  9. TheyCallMeTheWizard

    Wait. So the guy dictating the basketball is criticizing said basketball game and implying that he’s throwing his top stars under the bus?

    My crystal ball says this was the moment where it started to fall apart.

  10. lol wait….they LOST this game!?

    This is why I don’t believe in the Timberwolves, yo.

    Fools gold.

    Yea you gotta kinda adjust your approach if your team is losing

  12. Middle-Welder3931

    Maybe, as the coach, he should have done something about the immature approach to the game? Were the players not listening to him?

  13. HoagieTwoFace

    I feel like this game is the turning point for the wolves this year…and not in a good way

  14. mudkip-yoshii

    Everyone in this thread assuming finch was talking about KAT makes me lose faith in humanity LMAO

  15. scubaSteve181

    Well that’s one way to lose the locker room…

  16. dizzymidget44

    That’s gotta be good for the locker room, coach calling your career game immature basketball

  17. Large_Mango

    And had 9 points. Last time LeBron had under 10 was 2007. Think about that

    His most amazing stat imo

  18. RealLanceStorm

    It was surreal seeing a 2k game irl this is how it often ends when you have a crazy first half with a player and you fall into the trap of stat padding

  19. froglordfire

    Approach:
    * Letting KAT be the hero
    * Doubting a man named Leaky Black

  20. Ilovethehiphop

    This game just highlights how important Conley is to their success. The fourth quarter offense was just a bunch of hero ball and isolation. They really needed Conley putting people in good spots. Conley also brings it on defense and gives them a floor general there. I wouldn’t be panicking too much if I’m the wolves.

    A fair comment, unless he’s specifically talking about Towns instead of the whole team. The Wolves usually play thru multiple threats and ball movement, and there main thing is working hard on defense, and this game had neither against a team with a poor record. I don’t think Finch is out of line with this comment

  22. muppadoop

    I had to go to bed for work. Can someone explain why KAT was benched down the stretch and the coach said this about a record setting game?

  23. downyonder1911

    Towns went ice cold in the 4th and insisted on continuing to take shots. He went 2 for 10.

  24. AthosTheMusketeer29

    Even when Kat scores +60 I’m still unimpressed considering it’s Kat

  25. Tearz_in_rain

    I don’t hear the question at the beginning; just the response.

    Has this been taken out of context? Because it sounds like it was taken out of context.

    I can’t imagine that Finch is going to shit on a cat (or KAT) who just dropped 62 points.

    It sounds like he’s talking about the entire team’s effort on defence, and somebody reframed this as being a response to the 62 points.

    They literally had a 15-point lead going into the 4th quarter.

    This is the look of a mf that lost to some bugs
