Per this Athlon article. This is a fireable offense. Them guys need to toughen up.
I hope they lose in the first round, so it’s patently obvious to everyone.


The timing of Denver Nuggets head coach Mike Malone's firing was uncanny for the Minnesota Timberwolves team that has its own questions at head coach.

Just hours after Malone was fired, Wolves coach Chris Finch failed to stop his team from bleeding a 24-point lead in the fourth quarter. The Timberwolves shot just 4 of 20 from the field and turned the ball over nine times, resulting in a 110-103 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, April

Malone, who won an NBA title with the Nuggets two years ago and is the winningest Denver coach of all-time, is an enticing replacement -- and the Wolves' opinion of him could cast more clouds over Finch.

You hope?
Yes, I’m looking at how do we get to the NBA finals and hopefully win it.

I don’t see Finch being able to to do that, as last year seems like the high water mark.

The amount of blow Ws in crunch time is weird. That’s not weird to you too???

Finch has taken them as far as he can, and is likely better as a lead assistant than an HC. You need to kick azz sometimes and pull Ant up be his short hairs and bench him when need be. He’s not there to be their buddy, he’s there to be the coach - an authority figure.
Bug Picture.

Would you rather lose in the first round this year and get Malone?

Or win the first round and keep Finch??

I hope they win. Winning is always better.
Sometimes in life you gotta take a step backwards to go forward.
 


There's no rule that would prevent the Wolves from winning the 1st Round and still firing Finch.
Never said there was, did I, shooter??

I was dialing up, in my mind, the most likely scenario for Finch to get fired - the outcome I favor.

Feel free to traffic in alternative scenarios, so your position is the right one/you have the sports high ground. Neat trick, but if it doesn’t for my teenagers on me, you won’t fair any better, champ!!

You presented the question in an either/or fashion. It's not binary. They could also lose the 1st Round and keep Finch.

Rooting for a 1st Round loss is truly bizarre. It's a franchise that has only advanced to the 2nd round twice in it's previous 35 seasons. Hoping for another quick exit is dumb, having just snapped a 2 decade run of zero Playoff success.

Never said = No Rule!! Get it???

You just like to move the goalposts to prove you’re right. That must be exhausting - How bizarre, how bizarre !!!

I also fancy the macabre boy-o!!

You truly have all the answers!!

You’re smugness must be sooooo appealing in person!!!!

Maybe Aunt Bee needs to put you across her knee and teach some manners with a wooden spoon!!!

Wow, personal attacks from just presenting some basic facts, pretty routine on a msg board.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

I'm rooting for the Timberwolves to pull off something they have never done:

Advance out of the 1st Round in back-to-back seasons.

To each their own.

Calling someone’s ideas and/or them dumb is a personal attack to most, so I thought I’d return the present in kind 😃

I’m well aware of what I am and am not.
Thanks!!

I don’t agree with your position, but agree you’re entitled to it!!
