I said the Rockets were the team on the rise in the West and the Wolves were going to have a rough year with that idiotic trade. TC and Finch get Fs.

I think I was generous when I said Finch was an average coach. He is a below average coach. Hope he is fired and the Wolves can find a good coach. If TC had balls he would have hired Coach Bud when he was available. Unfortunately, Finch is probably safe though unless Wolves miss playoffs.

I give Rudy a C. Sengun dominated him. No real other way around it.

I’m kind of being a hypocrite here because the +\- stat is super noisy. But every starter outside of Rudy was a -14 or worse, while Rudy was a +4. Like when Rudy didn’t have to play with Randle he dominated defensively. I agree sengun took it to him but Rudy was a key to the comeback because nobody could score on Rudy in the 4th

Yeah it was up and down. Key moments Rudy lost his head, dumb fouls, etc. That colors my take for sure. Its tough because he gives us zero offense so those high pressure moments are all the more important. Rudy has a long way to go to get back in my good books though after that Toronto game. Anything dumb gets amplified 10x for me.

Completely understand that. Obviously I’m bias also because Julius drives me nuts. My bias could be showing because I like Rudy (or I hate how this team looks when he is off the court)

Randle is so dog shit on defense most of the time, I didn't think he was this bad. Honestly he needs to be a 6th man. But then we can't trade him for squat if that fails and he asks out or pouts. We just need to cut his minutes to send a message and see if he shapes up.

I might even start Dilly already too. We just need more pop on offense like when he is in there. More pace and quickness. DDV and NAW are 2's to be honest. I thought maybe they could be adequate on offense, but it's just not enough.

He might be. After making a lot of correct decisions in years past... he sure seems to be struggling this season trying to implement two key rotation pieces into the team. But, I think this is necessary context...

Randy Wittman
Jimmy Rodgers
Bill Blair
SIDNEY LOWE (the worst NBA coach AND the worst NCAA coach in history... he deserves his own thread.)
Ryan Saunders
KURT RAMBIS

How much more depressing is this season than any of the 30 win teams we've had in the past? Just a total buzzkill so far.
