  1. IHaveAHugeSternum

    Congrats Finch! You just blew a double digit lead to the Detroit Fucking Pistons. God bless their coach lol

  2. Yeeeeeeezus666

    Do you think Tim Connelly knows how much he fucked up?

  3. Finch was an upgrade over Saunders, but clearly isn’t up to the task. Consistency isn’t worth it if we’re consistently bad. Fire Finch.

  4. AlrightP

    Congrats to whoever prayed on our downfall, you won.

  5. Therealrickyrubio

    Believe it or not the vibes are worse in person

  6. Gyroflex

    We scored 40 points in the second half after 39 in the first quarter. There is not a single logic reason Finch should leave the arena as coach tonight, this team is a dumpster fire that has ZERO identity

  7. DoYouEvenDoubleLeg

    When do we start to question Finch’s position?

    This is getting beyond embarrassing.

  8. KojimasWeedDealer

    we really lost to a team that was trying their hardest to lose

  9. Mistrbontits

    I can’t believe we gave up so much for Gobert lol

  10. phirm_handshake

    Happy New Years fellow miserable fucks

  11. bottledfan

    This team didn’t even make it to 2023.

    They’ll suck and show some life after the all star break that’ll get us excited and the cycle repeats.

  12. OPUnknown

    The fact that we play much worse after half indicates that this is a deep rooted coaching issue. We have the talent. Fire Finch.

  13. DrunkMarkJackson

    Losing the die hard and the casual fan does not bode fell for them trying to get the common folk to pay for another billionare’s stadium. I blame lore for not giving Gupta the job

  14. SnarfSniffsStardust

    Lazy teams deserve boos. They should stop being lazy if they don’t wanna get booed.

  15. YvesSa1nt

    We gotta do something…I do not know exactly what, but this shit is inexcusable.

  16. flying_alligators

    Poverty franchise. Thank God I pirate instead of pay for this shit

  17. Finch is a bad coach. I’ve held off on it but it’s true now.

  18. WillingCommittee

    This franchise is a nightmare. Maybe in 2065 we will win something

  19. martintee

    My new year’s resolution is to not watch any more Wolves games this season. I can’t take it anymore, we blew an 18 point lead *to the Pistons*.

  20. I don’t want to hear the injuries argument, this is a game we should’ve won but the team doesn’t care anymore. Ant is the only thing worth watching on this team right now.

  21. It’s come to a point where no it’s not injuries no more…. This team absolutely reeks

  22. FreshStartWolves

    Bright side: can’t lose anymore games in 2022

  23. We’ve been a mediocre team all season and the worst damn team in the league over the past 6 games. Without dramatic changes, we’re a play-in team at best, and no one with eyes or a functioning brain should believe that this team is crawling out of a 7 or 8 seed.

  24. I need to take a break from actively rooting for this team so that I can enjoy watching the NBA. I’ll keep wanting the team to win, just won’t be too invested in them for the time being

    I know we’ve had more injuries this season compared to last, but it’s sickening how bad this team has been when you weigh in the expectations we had for them before the season. If this team doesn’t look better even next year, what a fucking disaster and embarrassment by the organization.

  25. BobSaget01827

    My New Year’s resolution is to stop wasting my night watching this team. Hopefully I can stick to it

  26. Sam7sung

    I want to know if people who make the optimistic posts still think things are going well. We lost some close games to good teams and apparently that’s fine. Now we lose to a dogshit NBA team to make it 6 straight loses. Are things still good? Is this a fucking team good?

  27. command-H

    I can’t believe I’ve used my Christmas break to watch every minute of the last 6 losses

  28. OGFN_Jack

    I can’t believe it took some of you this long to realize Finch is a master at blowing leads after that Memphis series lol. The guy literally was lost out there.

  29. Rich-Information-793

    11 points lead against Pelicans, 13 points lead against Bucks and 18 points lead against Pistons all result in a loss. Such a pathetic performance last 3 games

  30. MoneyBall_

    I feel bad for all the fans who brought their relatives out to the game tonight who are still in town for the holidays

  31. captainduck2

    Just blow it up. We’re Wolves fans. We know when it’s over.

  32. soft-cookie

    We play like a lottery team and don’t have our pick 🤌🤌🤌

  33. fanofloons

    Tim Connelly should have to sit courtside at every game….

  34. YvesSa1nt

    Thank god I got a bunch of nice whiskey for Christmas. It’s already coming in handy numbing the pain and anguish watching this team.

  35. JustSeriousEnough

    First time I felt betrayed by Jim Pete on that telecast. The dude was defending the entire team like a complete house organ. No sincere analysis, no in-depth breakdown of what was at issue, dude sounded like a corporate messaging board trying to be empathetic to the Wolves’ plight.

  36. Nba-fan-22

    People I thought I was crazy saying fire finch a couple months ago look at me now

  37. Finch needs to be gone tonight. I like him, I really do, but the guys don’t play for him. He lost the team, and his offense just doesn’t work. Bring in Snyder to utilize Rudy and try to salvage this garbage season.

  38. Romulox88

    At what point do us “doomers” become Nostradamus? Never because this team has been bad all season. I don’t understand ya’ll who think this is sustainable.

  39. nukezwei

    For real though, what are our options for coach if we fire Finch in the next 5 minutes?

  40. MaruhkTheApe

    Current status: officially worse than the Thibs era. Not at Rambis levels yet, but buddy, it’s gettin’ there.

  41. Roaringlion13

    Wait so no finch live post game, they literally ended the post game early???
