Kekgeek grades G15 vs Raptors

[kekgeek]

Naw: C+
Ant: C
Jaden: A
Julius: C
Rudy: C+
Naz: F
Donte: C
Dilly: D

Finch: D (why he played Dilly with Naz and Randle in the second half I’ll never understand)

I thought for sure we were going to lose you again after their dud tonight! Thanks for sticking around!

I had Rudy at better than C+, until that "hissy fit" he threw. C+ might be generous after that fiasco.

NAZ was a disaster, and NAW wasn't much better. In my mind, DiVo would be the better choice to start in place of Conley when he sits. Unfortunately, DiVo's play has not really show he would be any more effective than NAW.

And, yeah, Jaden deserved the only A. Too bad we wasted his effort.

The Timberwolves don't have an NBA caliber PG on the roster right now.

They don't have a legit backup center.

I don't know how they fill either spot.

I dont know how Gobert gets a C for throwing the game

[FNG]

Yep, Jaden and nobody else. I also give Rudy an F, and as much as I'm cheering for the kid, I have to give Rob an F for his -14 in only 10 minutes (and Finchie for putting him out there in a game we needed to win)...I think we win this game easily if he doesn't play. Not his fault though...how much more evidence does TC need before he realizes the skinny 19-year-old is playing in the wrong league. Send him to Iowa before you totally crush the confidence of a kid who has a lot of promise.

This one really hurts. I may take Kek's lead and skip the Celtics game. Finchie, sit Rudy's ass down and play Luka Sunday.

For all those calling for Finch's head... (more so in other places than here)...

- That's just not how the NBA works. People may wish it was different, but that's just how it is. And everyone who actually watches the NBA knows this. Gobert is making $40+M annually. He's set to make another $100M+ in Minnesota. Finch makes a fraction of that, so Gobert isn't getting benched.*





* Unless the coach knows he's on his way out and says "F it" right before he leaves. Even then, he'd be risking connecting with his star players on the next team he coaches.

[thedoper]

Its really hard for me to articulate how pissed off I am at Rudy right now. This is his second strike of egregious behavior. This team desperately needs leadership, and the fact that he would act like such a petulant child toward the newcomer on the team really gets to me. Randle is clearly problematic, but what Rudy did this game was inexcusable and as Abe pointed out there are no consequences.
