Vibes: Reflect

- I'll be blunt- you are an absolute moron if you think they should fire Finch. This is a bad loss, but it is game 5... reflect, adjust, and move forward.

- Again, I see the vision defensively of what Finch wants to accomplish- the players are vocal about their execution of the plan, BUT, it's clear it is not working. It can go 2 ways at this point- more reps leading to better execution or scrap and change it up (Like the Lakers did last year)

Defense:
- Things we keep saying: Step slow and too many straight line drives. That was the theme of the night tonight! Two long runs by Lakers put us in an almost impossible spot

Offense:
- Remember last year when we were so worried about the offense? I believe we are in a way better spot than last year! Good Randle game! However... TURNOVERS. We win that game if we even just get 1 less turnover

Also could've switched like Finch said in the presser

Needed to hard show and he did his job. Good play design and great play by Reaves. Bad recovery by Rudy

- If there is no LeBron or Luka, we should be able to handle the supporting cast. This will be a great test for this Wolves team in game two without Ant

Defense: vs Lakers
(137.6 DefRtg vs Lakers - Worst)
(119.8 DefRtg Overall)
- One of the worst defensive games I've remembered under Finch and it is something that has been on his mind the last week based on his pressers. The defensive tweaks we made this offseason are taking longer than expected.

- Lakers defensively don't really cause problems for us- they love to pack it in and force us to make a ton of outside shots. They have a hard time matching up with us, especially without their top dogs in LeBron and Luka.

Offense: vs Lakers
(117 OffRtg vs Lakers - Best)
(113.4 OffRtg Overall)
- Game one vs Lakers we came out hot scoring and we were getting whatever we wanted. Ant and Randle were awesome! Our offense has had great flow so far, just need to find right lineups!

Hearing Finch's presser- he seems frustrated with the players attention to detail.

I think that is a good sign long term and this will be a work in progress early on.

Croonch @croonch.bsky.social · 4d

I think we are trying new stuff on defense this yr. You can tell the point of emphasis is on strong ball pressure, but we also want strong gap help so we have long closeouts.

I think its something that will get improve but takes time

We might just lack great on ball defenders

Vibes: We Move

- 3rd quarter was the killer for us- but overall, great effort! I like the rotations and getting guys opportunities early on. First loss against Denver since April of 23/24 season.

Defense:
- One of those Murray games where he is unconscious, however, we didn't provide much resistance like usual. Not the typical Jokic game against the Wolves, but his size was distruptive without a true backup big.

Croonch @croonch.bsky.social · 4d

Offense:
- I liked what I saw - McDaniels was awesome, solid Randle game- Naz played his butt off! We need to carry this offensive effort over to the next week with Ant out. Great flow!

- Need to weather the Jokic storm tonight- we need better PNR Defense to beat these guys

Croonch @croonch.bsky.social · 4d

Defense:
- I just don't think we will see many lock down games like we saw a couple years ago, and that's okay! Our energy has been solid in every game besides Lakers game- which is leading to go transition! I see the vision!
