If Chan and Tucker actually sign on for this, I will be very disappointed.

Let's start speaking literal all the time. I can take it. I know I'm fat & ain't winning any beauty contest.

and a Team Dinner is different than a meeting. Probably a much more relaxed atmosphere. Helps keep it from looking like an attack on each & more of a we are all in the same boat. A team is a pseudo family.
Conley being the host makes me think it was done as right as any team could do.

They should go full pirate for a jersey one year. I'd never buy one, but would like to see it.

The word he is looking for is Russet (Russian Asset)

or we could just call them pedophiles. It is factually accurate on 80% of them

Ya, it's tough to tell. Just seems like a troubling pattern when you have young guys drafted that are the system for 2-3 years (Minott,Miller) & don't look anywhere near rotation players while wearing a Wolves uniform. Then have an old newbie like TJ who seems worse this year in his limited time.

I think NAW was mature enough to realize he was a career crossroads & took the correct path. Dude was always reading books about improving your own mentality.
November 25, 2025 at 10:45 PM
Is their development what it was because they were already getting minutes when he come on & he rolled with it because he was entering a tenuous situation? Would he have treated them the same if they were rookies a year or 2 later? Remember bad shot chucking rookie Ant. Would his arc be the same?
November 25, 2025 at 10:43 PM
Also, the 48 win pace is gonna change soon if they can only beat sub .500 teams. The West is brutal. They should have come into the season a well oiled machine. Not one that looks like it could seize up at any moment.
November 25, 2025 at 8:21 PM
I'm not saying they should fire him, not right now. As much as I find the underwhelming play & lack of urgency they show disappointing, what worries me most about Finch the proven lack of development for young players. Not every pick since he's been hired can be that bad, can they?
November 25, 2025 at 8:20 PM
As long as Finch is coach, they might as well trade every pick. The only "young guys" to get minutes for him were the 3 he inherited already playing regular minutes (Ant, Jaden, Naz).
He seems to have no ability empower young players. More like a culture of fear for the unproven.

Luka was sick the one game & LeBron has been bad, by LeBron standards, the last 2 years in the playoffs. He's completely run out of gas. I'm guessing that why "back pain" kept him out to start the year. Don't be shocked to see it flare up again in February for a few weeks. Depending on their record.
November 25, 2025 at 7:38 PM
Losing in the WCF again last year should have made them hungrier to make the leap to a Finals team. Instead it installed a false sense of accomplishment. Even though it was the easiest WCF path any team could have hoped for.
November 25, 2025 at 5:24 PM
They would have more wins with Darnold, but we saw what certain defenses could do to him. Rams just did it to him again a few weeks ago. He wasn't winning a SB in MN. They would be back in Kirk Cousins territory with him. Too expensive to build a good enough team cuz he can't carry them on his back.

"if you see a teammate you want to a pass to, but another player with the opposing team's jersey is directly in line with where you are passing, don't throw the pass"

Does that do it?😆
November 25, 2025 at 4:54 PM
I can't believe that there is no waying of stopping the bulk of those turnovers. I wish I, or more importantly, the Wolves coaching staff knew how. There is something deeply rooted in this team about turnovers being an acceptable part of what happens. Even though it costs them a dozen wins a year.

Vikings had no shot at Maye. New England turned down trade offers from several teams. If you believe the reports, they said no to 3 FRPs.
McCarthy still looks like a catastrophic whiff, but they didn't pick him over Maye.
I think Nix was the only QB they would have skipped for JJ.
November 25, 2025 at 4:09 PM
I hate to be the bail on a young QB guy, but he had 2 training camps & an entire season to watch & immerse himself in the system. After a some rough games, he got to sit & learn again for several weeks. After another few starts, he seems to show no sign of growth. That's damning for a top 10 pick.
