I think we are getting close to the firing of Finch. His rope with Randle is ridiculous. Naz was cooking, takes him out and Randle laziness kills them

I think Finch has lost the room for sure. But who would these players rally around? Its a weird team.

Re: Kekgeek grades game 27 vs warriors
Finch (as well as the rest of the front office) not being honest about Randle's short and long term future with the team is gonna do everyone in.
Finch running a rotation so tight this early in the year is Adelman-esque.

Re: Kekgeek grades game 27 vs warriors
First time I’m ever had a major disagreement with any of Kek’s grades. Jaden can’t get a B- in a 10-point home loss after scoring only 10 points on 33% FG shooting, only 7 rebounds, 2 assists and a plus/minus of -12. He shouldn’t get a grade higher than Ant’s C-.
Re: Kekgeek grades game 27 vs warriors
An inspired comeback after perhaps the worst first half I've ever seen from a Wolves squad. But I never really felt we were going to win this game, even when we took the lead. And make no mistake...this is a home loss to a not very good team missing their second most important player. Disgraceful. You can't have three starters with grades of C- or worse after laying a turd at home two nights before. After a nice two week stretch against some bad opponents, reality has set in...there are serious issues with this team.
Just about every podcaster I listen to is calling for the same thing...it's time to move Randle to the second team in favor of Reid, and limit the minutes Ant and Randle play together. I say this recognizing they actually have a positive net rating together, but from an entertainment perspective, their pairing is unwatchable...you can't have two ball stoppers on the court at the same time. Naz's 3-point shooting will open the lane up more for Ant, and Randle might be a productive bucket getter off the bench. I'm not saying this will fix everything that's wrong with this team, but it's a start...and it would definitely be a more entertaining product.

Could also consider starting DDV (or NAW) over Conley. Conley is already not playing starter's minutes, not to mention his numbers have been pretty down.
Re: Kekgeek grades game 27 vs warriors
Finch has been playing an 8 man playoff rotation and his results have been 500 basketball. We could have just taken our lumps while trying to develop the youth instead of this garbage. This team is already burnt out a 3rd of the way into the season. Meanwhile Trace Jackson Davis dominated us dunking over Rudy like the bitch he is. Cant wait to watch Lively do the same while Im stuffing my turkey on Christmas. Give the vets a rest. Make them find some passion for playing beautiful basketball.

Re: Kekgeek grades game 27 vs warriors
I think Finch is safe this year no matter what solely due to the ownership struggle. Any other year and he would be staring down the firing squad.
