That probably comes down to his shooting. He's been looking for his teammates and dishing out assists quite well. He's overall field goal percentage, especially from 3, has been dogshit for a while.
the wolves second unit that finch puts together in the second quarter and the beginning of the fourth have just played real well in most of the games. when that unit isn't humming the wolves are in trouble. like on friday.

It would be neat if Finch won. It's a results oriented award, which good coaching is not necessarily 1 to 1 with wins.

wolves take care of business in a game they're supposed to win with no lebron and AD only playing 12 minutes.

That second unit is also usually in when our opponents rest their best player or players. That 2nd group has been great, where before the trade deadline that 2nd unit regularly let opponents back into games and swung all the momentum to the other teams.

No, he's not going to make it. They don't all make it. He got some guaranteed first round money. If he's smart he should be set. Go play overseas

yep. the wolves second units have been much better than most of their opponents and have been a real key as to why they've just kept rolling with KAT out.

7 years ago we played Denver on the last game of the season for the 8th seed. Now we will be playing them for the 1st seed. Let's hope we get the same result.

Crazy draft...

Culver taken in the lottery...now out of the league

Nowell taken in the 2nd...outlasted culver, still hanging around the league

Naz undrafted...kicking ass and about to get a big payday

Naz the recipient of more than a few of those passes. he did what you're supposed to do (make the wide open threes) and had a great stat line tonight.

Finch should have called a timeout first chance he had after that Rudy garbage. The team obviously wasn't focused and thought they were comfortable with the 20 point lead.
finch presser right now. he said he thought they lost their "seriousness" and that play was probably what he was talking about. they were up 17 when it happened and he should have called a TO and told them to knock that shit off.

Yep, 10 point win tonight despite getting outscored by 16 from the free throw line. We would need to be absolutely perfect to get by the Lakers in the playoffs with the whistles they get.
