[Woj] ESPN Sources: Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has agreed on a four-year contract extension through the 2027-‘28 season. Finch led the franchise to the Western Conference Finals — his third straight postseason trip.
I don't know, after the knee injury its hard to see him returning to his old form. Surgeries really start adding up and Finchy is no spring chicken. 4 years is a long time for someone at that age with injury history.
In all seriousness I'm stoked. Hopefully he is able to keep a good crew around him.
Unironically he is the type of player we should be aiming for in this draft. A project player who can potentially become a floor general PG with the ability to guard. I don’t think he would be drafted if his last name was smith but he is the type of player I want to see us get. Doesn’t have to be him though but he does fit what we should be looking for.
I’d be all about it honestly. He’s been getting trashed on this sub like he’d be a terrible pick but we have to realize the dude literally had a cardiac arrest. He’s an athletic guy who can defend and I like his upside as a 3pt shooter. I think I saw a draft workout video of his where he drained 11 in a row and he has nice form. There’s been plenty of bad shooters in college who become great in the pros and plenty of great shooters in college who can’t hit the side of the barn in the NBA
How is Bronny a project player? If anything he’s worse than he was 2 years ago. The T wolves need 6’1” guards with limited athleticism that can’t shoot?
He has said he wants to try to become a player like Jrue Holiday. That is exactly the type of player we need. That’s my point. Not that Brony will get anywhere near that level but we need a pg who can play d and hit from 3 consistently.
I’m not sure but I think local guys have to hold off on big news until the national pundits “break it” first…ever notice how after woj or shams breaks something, Jonny K has the details within seconds
Big win, I have faith an off-season of thinking about the offense will yield improvement, just as we improved defensively. Finch has improved each year. Continuity is also huge for a young core.
This summer would be complete with the ownership being taken over by ARod/Lore. It says something if both coach and PoBO resign in the same year to extend their stay.
Bravo Finchy. I'm sure plenty of people think that his injury and the Nori/Finch combo coaching after the Suns series had a negligible impact on the outcome of our season, but I think it was more significant than it ever got credit for. How quickly the team adjusted to the tandom coaching with Nori right as we were about to start a series on the road against the defending champs speaks volumes about how tight-knit and aligned Finch is with his staff.
Y'all already know, Ima ride or die with Finch! Feel vindicated now for supporting him through some of the tough (and legitimate) criticisms. He's the kind of guy who always preaches hard work and continual improvement, while still being respectful and holding everyone accountable. Easy as hell to root for a guy like that, not to mention a consummate professional. I know you could say we were on the right track anyways, but I really think our franchise turned around when we hired him (although Ryan Saunders probably made him look a lot better lol). Anyway I love how our team responds to his coaching, and the staff he has around has been great. Lets keep it going!! 🐺🐺🐺
Congrats to possibly the best coach in team history.
RIP Flip
