***Official Chris Finch -Wolves Head Coach Thread***

[shoteh]

I know nothing of this guy but if he:

-Limits Juancho and Okogie's minutes.
-Let MCDaniel/Nowell/Vandy have their minutes
-let's go of Hockey full lineup subs
-Never play Rubio and Dlo together

I like this guy already

[j2j]

I've long been a fan of what Denver does. If he can somehow turn KAT/DLo into Jokic/Murray, while also maximizing Edwards... Maybe this franchise has a prayer.

Let's get that top 3 pick, though.

[Moses Scurry]

Always loved the guy and his schemes.








Said no one, ever because no one ever heard of him.

Is Vanterpool still in charge of the defense though

[Hoop Dreams]

[jffl_commish]

Positives: he has nothing to do with the Timberwolves organization, until now.

Very, very astute observation.

[jffl_commish]

Gerson is all-in with this move though. I'd say they have until the end of next season to show something or he may be out of a job too.

He was an assistant under McHale in Houston, does that count?

Unlike the Saunders original hire and the Culver draft pick, this move actually seems like Rosas' true intention. If you're gonna get hacked, at least get hacked with your own plan.

[Moses Scurry]

How many loses can you hang on Ryan? At least 5 if not more. 5 more wins and we're at least sniffing a playoff hunt. For fucks sake, Okogie started for 2 months at PF. Maybe Chris can banish him to the Phantom Zone.

People have heard of him, but yeah, no one is specifically saying they love him or his schemes. But where he's been and the credit he's gotten from improvements in Denver and Toronto can get people excited.

It's what we do here. Hope spring eternal, or some shit. We're miserable 95% of the time, the other 5% is pre-draft, pre-free agency, trades, and hirings/firings. It almost makes December-March basketball in Minnesota bearable.

[Slap Shot]

Better move than promoting Vanterpool?

Dammit! I stand corrected.

[populousample]

So they started hammering the contract out when Finch was in town for the game I imagine.

[Sid Hartman]

I’m going to be lost without Ryan’s after game press conferences...can we set up a Wolves support group?

[jffl_commish]

Possibly. At least the getting permission to talk to him part.

That's not true. Fade loves him because he ranked 15th in scoring at his DIII.

[Ask Not]

Positives: he has nothing to do with the Timberwolves organization, until now.

Negatives: is now a part of Taylor's Minnesota Timberwolves organization.

Yep, he instantly becomes awful. Guilty by association.

....Thanks for the laugh.

You have been on fire lately.

[Ask Not]

JMac will be the next Fred VanVleet. I've been saying it for years and now it's finally coming true.
BOOK IT!

What if Gersson is right and Finch is an improvement over Saunders? What if he coaches the Wolves into the 4-6 area? No matter what happens people will complain, but is giving us hope and optimism better than a top 3 pick?

[jodaman01]

This guy will maximize KAT. With the way Rosas has built the Team it seems he’s had Finch in mind for a long time.

Rosas needs to focus on a starting 4 at the deadline. If he can’t get one that is a true starter for the next couple seasons, then the Wolves need to tank at all costs to get in the top 3.

If the Wolves land in the top 3 worst records - is there any way they can fall out of the top 3 in the lottery?

[Thrillkill]

Positives: he has nothing to do with the Timberwolves organization, until now.

Very, very astute observation.

Really? He was in Hou when the fucking clown was there. If he isn't fully ready to buck and tell the idiot to shut his mouth then he is just another clown for the packed clown car.

I verymuch look forward to Ryan going away and growing a pair so he can come out with the truth of how stupid the idiot is.

[DonaldDouchebag]

We got him.
