Yeah, I'm ready to move on from Finchy too. But Nori is not the answer, because he's another nice guy. We need a hard ass like Malone or Thibs.
He's having a mini slump in play the last three games. Shooting well tonight, but a slump. Half the turnovers were a bit suspect, Jaden not catching the ball, a kicked ball that doesn't get called. But yeah bad streak by Ant and the team.FNG wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 6:35 pm I know most of you guys love Ant, and he is a terrific scorer, but he has been a disaster tonight. The play that defines Ant to me is when he got stripped going to the basket, and while he whines about a foul that didn't happen, his man Podziemski gets an uncontested layup. He's shot the lights out tonight, but the rest of his game has been a disaster. He couldn't guard Podziemski in the 3rd quarter (after actually looking interested in guarding him early), so Finchy moves him on to Richard...and Richard gets 6 quick points on him. And add then there are the 8 turnovers. So much blame to go around tonight, but when you're star gets targeted on defense and can't take care of the ball, we aren't going to win.

The floor and ceiling of this team revolves around the effort of Ant and Julius, mainly on the defensive end. Ant is probably being asked to do much offensively and Julius is a mental midget who simply stifles this teams ability on both ends of the court.rapsuperstar31 wrote: ↑Sun Jan 25, 2026 6:39 pmHe's having a mini slump in play the last three games.

Ha, nope. This roster is talented, but they need someone who is going to hold them accountable. Denver is a different team. and they were mature enough that a hard ass like Malone was not helping...they needed a players coach like little Adelman. But we're not mature...we need a taskmaster.
