Real fun game to watch. Even players like NAW that had a bit of an off night, put in valuable minutes. The entire team was focused.

Glad Finch decided to start Naz too. Without Towns they need his offense to help steady the offensive load with Ant. He stetrches the floor quite a bit.

Yep but even at his worst, he brings that intense defense. It yeah, when he’s cooking on both ends, this team can get to a higher level.

I want him to attack for himself more. Not a ton of advanced dribbling. Any time he puts the ball on the floor to just use his length at the rim. I think he should do more of that. Attacking a closeout, for instance. That's a good opportunity for him to get a good close look.

Grady and Jim Pete laughing at that terrible missed call leading into a commercial break was classic.

I was a Benz fan because I loved the stupidity he brought to the table. It paired well with the product on the floor for quite some time.

Grady and Jim Pete are the best in the biz. It’s a shame they don’t sit courtside. It really bothers me.

Maybe one or two dribbles. But none of this weaving through people stuff.

Yeah. Not trying to create or do something akin to what Ant does. Mainly just a straight line drive to add another wrinkle to his us game and get him more comfortable. Hes so tall he can get some good looks at the cup if he gets there. He's got his short little pull up he does too that is pretty solid.

yeah. he's usually spot on in his analysis of the game. he said something to the effect that their defense got better as the game went on and they wore out the cavs.

i'm still a little irritated by him getting that T though. he knows better--and i'd like to see how that last possession would've played out with the wolves having the one point lead.

Guys have to keep making shots. We did a pretty good job of that tonight.

After the 1st utah game i looked at the schedule and thought 10-5 would be a good/attainable goal to get. 2-1 after that. If they do go 10-5 that would put them at 56-26. Not sure if that’s good enough for the the 2 spot which would be great.

I think. Usage change can effect him quite a bit. When he plays the three he struggles. When he's a four he's more comfortable. Now that he is getting a turn at smallball 5 he is showing out more. I hope this time without Kat gives Finchy a good idea of some lneups that could surprise and turn the tide some in playoff time. These weeks of having to throw the book at everyone and come up with new options and game plans can maybe be a big boon to our playoffs.
