off context is this the worst 60 point performance of all time
Fraudulent 1st seed
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?
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
Brad Beal type beat
Let him cook
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.
damn…
Weird way to title this to make it seem like Finch is speaking about KAT individually instead of the whole team.
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.
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
Maybe, as the coach, he should have done something about the immature approach to the game? Were the players not listening to him?
I feel like this game is the turning point for the wolves this year…and not in a good way
Everyone in this thread assuming finch was talking about KAT makes me lose faith in humanity LMAO
Well that’s one way to lose the locker room…
That man scored 62 and had a +/- of 0.
That’s gotta be good for the locker room, coach calling your career game immature basketball
And had 9 points. Last time LeBron had under 10 was 2007. Think about that
His most amazing stat imo
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
Approach:
* Letting KAT be the hero
* Doubting a man named Leaky Black
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
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?
Towns went ice cold in the 4th and insisted on continuing to take shots. He went 2 for 10.
Even when Kat scores +60 I’m still unimpressed considering it’s Kat
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
Bro dropped 60 and got flamed by his coach lmao
