finch doesn't know how to manage a game considering how many 10+ point leads we've blown in the 4th quarter. also true, having Kat on Jokic and Gobert or someone else playing help defense and covering more ground is smarter than having Towns playing help defense.
Keep Finch as coach but get him an assistant "in game" coach. I could do better at this point.
Timeouts have always been a problem with finch.
The wolves can do all of the above you mentioned and will still lose. Plain and simple, the nuggets are the better team. Wishful thinking
Let kat come off the bench and still finish the game with 35 minutes. Stagger Rudy and Karl being on the floor together a little to let ant cook and keep kat out of foul trouble in the first half. This is going to be a hard game missing out 5th, 6th, and 7th best players.
