Finch said a few interesting things in his post-game press conference tonight. First, he praised Rob’s play in the OKC game. Interestingly, Rob didn’t get any minutes tonight. Conley was very good tonight so I get it but it must be tough for Rob. He does well and then doesn’t play at all. He makes a...

I’ll take the win. Rudy was terrific. Conley was solid. Shannon and Naz hit some big shots and I thought the momentum changed in our favor when Naz came in for Randle. Credit Finch for that substitution. The offense flows so much better when Naz is in the game instead of Randle. This team still does...

Lots of praise for Rob from Finch,

Celtics were without Brown last night and still beat the Raptors. A couple of former Wolves were keys to the win. Josh Minott had 5 points and 4 rebounds in 17 minutes. He was a +10. Luka Garza had 12 points and 10 rebounds. He was a +22. I used Killian Hayes as a counter to your player development...

The Pistons walloped the Hornets last night. LeMello Ball’s performance last night simply underscored why I have no interested in the Wolves trading for him. Here’s an interesting bit from that game. The only member of the Piston’s 14-man roster who didn’t get any playing time last night was Wendell...

I'll just keep plugging this because it's a really great resource https://apanalytics.shinyapps.io/DARKO/ I was curious if there was any useful or encouraging statical information that we could glean regarding Rob and what so cool about DARKO is that it's really easy to compare players across gener...

Mike is back. Everyone is available. Finch is left with some tough decisions. Unfortunately, he has a tendency to favor seniority. We'll see... Ok, we'll see what Finch does then. I still think it will be situational. Mike will be brought in only if adult supervision is needed because the offense d...

Sure. Young, promising players need playing time to get better. But they have to do their part, too. Young players should show improvement from season to season early in their career. Jalen Johnson has done that. Every season. It's also not a sure thing that playing time = better player. I can shar...

I always go back to Killian Hayes as a counter to the Lip Doctrine or three Ps or whatever you want to call it! He was the #7 pick in the 2020 draft after playing professionally as a teenager in Europe. Over the next few years he got PLENTY of playing time with Detroit, much to their detriment as a...
