This is how I'm feeling as well. I'm never one to call for mid season coach firings cause it is rarely going to solve any problems, but this team has had clutch time performance issues for 5 years now.60WinTim wrote: ↑Tue Nov 25, 2025 12:26 pmThis is the first time "new coach" thoughts have ever crossed my mind.

Dilly only played 9 minutes and had almost as many assists as Conley. That makes absolutely no sense.
Overall this team continues to perform at a level substantially below the sum of its parts. Rudy’s comment was telling but there’s more to it than that - like Finch’s rotations and obsession with playing Mike Conley while giving Dilly absolutely no slack.
I’m just about ready for a new head coach.
I am willing to cut Finch some slack as he works to build confidence with 3 new players. It takes time. I am sure Connelly will give him that time. But if this trend of clutch time failures continues through the trade deadline, the pressure on Connelly to do something will mount (whether it be player(2) or coach).
The two common denominators are Ant and Finch and Ant ain't going nowhere
