Sit Mike out. We can beat SA without him. J Mac has to step up, NAW too. Guys better start playing like a team in the 4th qtr.

Champions don’t lose games like this.
This team is good but broken.
Something has to change.

The fun seems to be fizzling away rather quickly. Why do Timberwolves teams historically forget what built their leads in the first place? Team ball, flow, passing, making moves, cuts. 4th quarter/clutch time? "I HAVE TO DO IT I HAVE TO SAVE THE GAME IT'S ON ME" no.. It's not.
Seems like Finch is yelling these problems at the top of his lungs and the players have just straight up tuned out.

Some of the lineup combinations were just awful. I think there was one lineup of JMac, Shake, Kyle, KAT, Rudy. That's just terrible and doesn't set the team up for any type of success. I understand Finch is trying to get Shake some run to build up a little trade value, but man, that's an abysmal lineup to put him in. I don't even know what to say about these 4th quarters anymore. It's the same thing over and over and over again. Also, Wemby is just an alien. It's absurd that he is a human being!

I’m almost glad they lost. They need to be slapped around a bit to face their weaknesses. And that includes Finch. Plus now that they’re out of the top spot OKC can get the spotlight turned on them. The Wolves have time to work out things out. Plus Spurs played a great game and the Wolves did not play terribly, just some lack of intensity.

Champions don’t lose games like this. This team is good but broken. Something has to change. A trade has to go down by the deadline. I love Levine's idea of Monte Morris. But the big rumor is we're interested in Nets forward Royce O'Neale.
Teams showing interest in Royce O’Neale:
Bucks Mavericks Nuggets Pacers Timberwolves
-----------------
At this point I'd move Slo-MO if I could, Shake, Moore, J Mac, anybody like that plus that high second rd pick if we had to.
McDaniels has been so disappointing to me. He is either good or super bad with no in between. Talk about a low BBL IQ? His foul with a few seconds left was a total killer and contributed substantially to our loss last night. I think they had 1 second left on the shot chock when McD put there guy in a bear hug. He just can't help himself.
Time to shake things up.
The lineup Finch played early in the 4th was a disaster. I put a lot of the blame on Finch for that loss. Finally, the inbound play at the end was atrocious. We're only down by one and we can't get a better shot than an off balance 35 footer. Sheesh!

We almost have to move SloMo now.
Finch just can’t help himself.

Maybe I didnt see it right, but I am not pissed at McD for that last foul. He was going for the ball and had a hand on it but someone beat him too it and essentially his arm was over the guy who ducked in to get it. Kind of a bad luck foul IMHO. I'm starting to put more and more of this on Finch for not holding guys accountable. They do the same dumb shit game after game and just get to go back out and do it again. Ball movement just stops in the 4th quarter. Why does Finch allow it to happen? I like Finch but he's got to figure some things out or this is going to be a Mark Jackson/Steve Kerr thing where Finch gets them there but it takes another coach to get them over the edge. Towns 1-4 on 3 pointers. Just gonna keep bringing it up every game because it also doesnt change.

This has been building for some time now. Charlotte when healthy is a solid team so that loss doesn't strike fear but a loss to the Spurs should wake them up from the dumbness. Hopefully they are embarrassed with their garbage play and decide losing sucks and they change but we will so.
