    Good cast Artis but the trade had to be done. Chemistry is essential but not in the sense you think. At my job where it’s a team effort to give a patient the best possible care. I have realize that I’m not there to make friends but I have respect and appreciate the strengths of my coworkers. All the wolves needed was a strong unbiased center/forward, Randle was not that guy. His personality is so dominant that he overshadows Edwards who is the franchise player on this team. But because Finchy love Randle so much he have pushed Edwards( the second coming of MJ) behind Randle and he has made that known by how much he praises Randle and don’t even mention Edwards. Look at hie interview after that SA game, ANT hit over 23 pts, Randle made 14pts but he praised Rudy and Randle. I think Ant while went out if this continues, GET RID OF RANDLE NOW before you lose your franchise player. Finch is compromised he may have to go also!

  • @DaViinci
    @DaViinci 11 днів тому +1

    I would love to see a starting lineup of:
    1. NAW
    2. Ant
    3. DiVincenzo
    4. McDaniels
    5. Gobert
    This is elite defense, 3 good ball-handlers, and 4 shooters along with a true center. DiVincenzo also gets to be a focal point, which could uncover his potential. In the event that you want more height on defense, you could also sub Naz Reid in for DiVencenzo and still have 4 shooters.
    The second unit would be elite, with Julius Randle as the star, shooters around him, and no Gobert, allowing him to bully the paint and have outlet passes to some combination of Conley, Reid, Dillingham and DiVincenzo to shoot or reset.

    I could be way off base with this observation, but when I watch Randle play, it seems that he doesn't view this team as Ant’s or doesn't care and goes out to get his each night. Listening to some of these post-game interviews, it feels like there is a serious fracture in the locker room. I think Randle needs to go.

    You need to hold Finch accountable!! Why is still trying rotations out in DECEMBER!!? 🗣️ He should know what works by now. Completely unacceptable! He knew from last season what worked without KAT. Randle is his bestie and he is purposefully allowing him minutes over Naz.

    • @IshanaeS
      @IshanaeS 10 днів тому

      @ What games are you watching?? If Naz has been bad Randle has been just as bad. Naz at the 4 worked last season. It has worked at times this season but like Finch did last night. He takes Naz out for Randle. He’s been doing that a lot this season so far. Yes Naz hasn’t been great but we had a winning formula last season that did not include Karl Anthony Towns. Everything about this organization is weak… including the fanbase. A bunch of coaching staff sitting around with blank clipboards. Don’t know how to speak life or motivate their players and that was exposed against the Knicks the other night. Ant can’t play his usual style of basketball because Julias is in the paint every possession. Dribbling the air out of the ball. Finch doesn’t want to play Rob in a rotation that makes sense. Just horrible… Hopefully Naz and Ant can land somewhere that pushes them to grow. This organization is trash.

    • @WHASTUDIOS44
      @WHASTUDIOS44 10 днів тому

      @ you missed what I was saying but that’s okay. Yes Randle sucks, Gobert sucks, the rotations involving them sucks we get it. We never had a winning formula without kat, we just had enough chemistry to win when he did miss games. This team has zero chemistry: it goes past the coaching. Low effort and terrible shot selection by a few guys on the roster. Naz has been bad on defense I said, just like Randle. One of them makes over 30 million of course he’s going to play more what did you think? It’s the nba it’s a business first they are showcasing him to hopefully trade him. Trade Rudy with him.

      @@WHASTUDIOS44 There is nothing wrong with my comprehension skills… I understood excatly what you said. I disagree when it pertains to Rudy. Finch is coaching horribly. He shouldn’t be still trying to figure out rotations this many games in. We did have a winning formula whether it was chemistry or not it won us games. Word it however you want. Karl was not on the floor and we won. There were games earlier in the season as well before Karl’s injury that showed we could win without him. That’s why Naz won 6th man..Last night showed that as well… but what did Finch do? Take Naz out and put in Randle. Absolute insanity on so many levels.

    • @WHASTUDIOS44
      @WHASTUDIOS44 10 днів тому

      @ kat didn’t even miss much time last year for that to be a valid point lmao, the season before where he missed 50 games was evident and showed this team could not win without him but that wouldn’t fit the agenda Here. I don’t get how you disagree pertaining to Rudy, when he has zero effect in actual meaningful basketball games (playoffs) we can track that fact his whole career. 43 million to be a “anchor” on defense but gets cooked on that end come may, has a skill set that hinders our young star. His skill set is clog the paint on offense with a touch of not being able to catch the ball. We pay a Stone Age big 43 million to be a liability when it matters. Dense fanbase here. Can’t understand SOME of the fanbase happy to have him here when no other team would touch him with a ten foot pole.😂 naz is getting taken out of games because his defense has been horrible along with Randle. He’s inconsistent and he’s been that way from the jump he’s streaky. Finch is coaching a team with zero chemistry and a gm who made an Ill advised trade. Not saying they should or shouldn’t have traded kat but that return was poultry. Long story short this team is regressing as expected im just confused why people actually thought they’d be on the same trajectory as last year looking at this current roster. Last year was fun won’t feel like that in awhile with this team.

  • @NattaNerNutta
    @NattaNerNutta 10 днів тому

    This coming off as a very emotional reactionary reaction. Underplaying the business aspects and sometimes blaming the wrong people. Naz can’t get better if all his minutes and role are being given to Randle. I think things will get much much better once Randle is moved…so much of the problem is based around his inability/effort to gel with the defense and the fact that he is offensively being forced into the team scheme. Hard to build an offense identity and flow and consistent energy when the ball hits a certain player’s hands and everything grinds to a halt. And the worse part is you can’t sit him because it will lower his trade value before the deadline, so it’s like they’re forced to showcase Randle 🤷🏽‍♂️

      There are no driving lanes, Ant gets the ball at the top of the key, his guy is on him, Mike isn't a threat so Ant get's doubled at the top of the key. Jaden's guy is leaving Jaden open in the corner daring you to pass it to him trying to stop Ant in the gap. Rudy's guy is in the gap ready to stop Ant, Julius takes his guy down into the paint allowing his man to defend Ant as well.

    Organization picked Ant to run the team as the leader and the future of timberwolves basketball. This year, without the escape goat Kat no longer on the team, Randle will take all the heat every time they lose.
    I always said Ant was overrated all along but always received hate for it. People always use the he"s only 23 yrs old excuse but he's already been in the league for 4 yrs now. When are we gonna stop calling him a "kid" and at the same time hand over a team to him. This year, he will get exposed for not really having the "dawg" in HIM.
    Kobe nor Jordan will never let a teammate getting traded away affect their mentality as bad as Ant is using Kat's departure as a poor excuse for bad games. If anything, this is your team now you actually have the greenlight to score even more now that Kat is gone. He's just never been consistent enough for me. Casuals would look at his stats and say damn 25-30 pts is good what you saying? Ant gets his points in a bunch and then goes cold and disappears for the rest of the game. If they arent leading he never wants to touch the ball but if they are in the lead he wants to take over so he can gloat and chase clout. If timberwolves are lucky to even make it to the playoffs, the blueprint to beat them in a 7 game series where you can actually study a team is fairly easy. Double team Ant and so he can make horrible decisions and turnovers and you win lol. He hasn't trusted his teammates enough this year for them to be effective in the post season. Based on his interviews you can tell how immature he is by telling media about stuff that should stay in house. Basically if this is "his" team , he needs to take charge and build the identity that he wants instead of crying and pointing fingers at his teammates when they lose.
    Stop analyzing and blaming role players for losses. I wouldn't want to play too if I never get a play drawn for me because my "star" player wants to play iso hero ball all the time.

    • @Serching4JerryGarcia
      @Serching4JerryGarcia 10 днів тому +1

      Yeah no. You said a whole lot of bull shit in your comment. No other star is dealing what Ant is having to deal with right now. A coach in Chris Finch who doesn’t have the right personnel to run the offense that he wants to run, Julius Randle being a bigger and slower version of D’Angelo Russell, and now Finch is becoming more stubborn with this 8 man rotation bull shit while Rob Dillingham who could be a ROTY CANDIDATE continues to sit on the bench. The best Timberwolves line up is NAW, Ant, McDaniels, Naz Reid, and Gobert but Finch continues to let Randle play and be the focal point of the offense. This offense is all out of whack and it’s impressive that Ant was still able to put up the numbers that he did earlier in the season.

    • @touaxiong2088
      @touaxiong2088 10 днів тому

      @Serching4JerryGarcia ummm you basically said a whole lot of nothing. Said a whole lot of excuses for a "star franchise player" having a regressed year. I truly believe Finch has no control over the team anymore. Do you really think as a coach he draws out plays and say "ok, ant dribble the ball and play iso and when they double team you force the shot instead of passing to your teammates. ANT is one of the problem because I truly believe when he goes off on his iso hero ball moments he disregards any plays that coach even draws for them. The lack of ball movement is a clear sign that no one is listening to the coach yet you want to blame him.
      Like I said earlier, when are we going to give Ant some shit and stop blaming a "scapegoat" (Randle) or the coach for failures. ANT is supposedly the leader but his emotions are child like. "No star is dealing with what Ant is dealing with right now" are you kidding me? You act like he has a bunch of scrubs on his team. The team is practically the same as last year only without Kat. A true "star" player is almost always consistent and he has yet to be. Keep believing in Ant and see how far he goes. No one in the league is scared of timberwolves in a 7 game series. Double team Ant and watch the ship sink.

ANT is too soft and emotional but fronts like he has "dawg" in HIM. If he really was Alpha he would say Kat is my brother it sucked when he got traded but hey that's business life goes on and straight BALL.
      Oh I didn't say Kat was a role player. I was talking about how we asking Naz Naw etc to be held accountable. They are role players and shouldn't be scrutinize harder then your team leader.
