He's looked out of sorts....again.
Love the guy and was totally on the "start him at PG next season" bandwagon after his triple double. But he's just not taking advantage of Ant's absence to lay claim to a starting spot next season. We need more from him off the bench in the playoffs.
Yeah, really disappointing. Could be just a rough stretch, but if he's not fast-breaking he is just so deferential in the half court offense and then seems to lack ideas when he has to create something himself.
I want to see how he is with Ant and Jaden again before feeling too committed to any idea, but I agree that he hasn't been very scalable in the absence of those guys

I'm going back and forth with the Twins game, Cool, but he looked lethargic in the first quarter and turned the ball over 4 times. But Q woke him up...more aggressive at both ends!

Another ideal game to get the rookie minutes, but Finch just cant find a way!

In Finch's defense, if the Wolves win this game we clinch a playoff spot and ensure we stay out of the play in.

There is no defense, we are up 20 on a D league team. I don't think the game is going to be decided by one substitution.

Clark, TJ and Joan should all be seeing minutes, no doubt.
You can stagger them and it'll be ok lol

Well, we didn't get up by 20 until the 3rd. He did sub in Clark early, who is still a rookie by Finch's standards!

If Houston beats Phoenix tonight, Rudy should probably sit the last two games just to make sure he doesn't get a flagrant foul that screws us in the playoffs. Start Joan and let him learn.
