I think Finch has lost the locker room. Playing 8 guys on a "deep" roster is fucking stupid. Not having the balls to bench a player that isn't performing is lazy. Not making changes to a struggling team is the epitome of an ego that is delusional.

Finch and Randle can go.

Something needs to change.

Abe's late night offensive DVR review:


- That was EASILY the most entertaining Timberwolves game I've seen this season.
- For all the wrong reasons.

But hey, it was amusing. So, that's a good thing right now. I guess.

Why the hell did Chris Finch play Randle over Reid down the stretch tonight?

There was a play at around the 5.30 mark where Randle lazily didn’t defend a pick and roll and then lazily didn’t get back to box out Jackson-Davis who scored on the put back. Ant was rightfully furious. The worst thing was Finch calls a timeout and then puts Randle back in the game (ahead of Naz Reid who was playing great). I mean if Finch isn’t going to set an example about effort then we are truely screwed. Let alone not play Naz who deserved to be out there.

Randle needs to be sent out for whatever we can get in return. And if Finch continues to not set an example with his players then he won’t be far behind.

I think the start to the season has been long enough. The season is over meaning this team has zero chance to win it all.

Now some of you could say, duhhhhh. We knew that when they traded for Randle. Honestly I didn't think Randle would be this horrific.

I would take any expiring deal for him right now just to stop him from seeing the floor again.

Yeah, the PIVOT is dead. The PIVOT was based on the status quo "figuring it out". Well, they haven't figured it out. So, some significant changes need to come, either from Finch, or the front office, or both.
