Crazy. Finch has basically been using a deep playoff run/Finals rotation to start the regular season.

It’s sort of crazy

It's not sustainable Thibs!

Heh. I think the difference is that Finch plays all 8 of our guys like starters, so the minute distribution is still much more egalitarian than Thibs'. For example, this season Thibs has three of his starters averaging over 35 MPG whereas Ant is the only Wolves starter averaging more than that. Both DDV and Reid are averaging more MPG than Conley.

In that sense, it isn't as draconian as Thibs, but still, I agree that eventually Finch needs to loosen things up.

Jaden playing inspired ball this quarter. What a turnaround.

Great second half from him

Ok, enough of trying to feed the ball to Rudy in the paint. He's had a chance to eat, now go back to setting screens and clearing the lane for guys.

Ant didn't do squat the last 3 minutes of the quarter. I still say give him the last few of a quarter off and bring him in earlier in the 4th. He needs some runway in the final frame.

Nice close to the quarter!

Baby steps in garbage time…

Dillingham!!!

He is unlike any other player we have on the roster with his combination of pace, handles, scoring instincts, and passing chops. It may take a while for him to figure out how to deal with the size of NBA players, but he could be really fun to watch with that second unit if Conley ever takes a day off.

Great win. Finally saw them put together the type of defensive effort we saw most of last season. The bench was fantastic.
