    They lost the first 2 games by a total of 4 pts… and in Mn fashion, with the help of some sketchy ref mistakes. Imagine they go up 2 games to 0….

    Yeah they definitely had those two games stolen from them by calls.

    Bad calls yes but 1 defensive stop and one made basket and calls dont matter. The end of game 2 with the terrible turnover and Luka making Rudy look as athletic as me with game winning 3, Naz still had a perfect wide open look at the buzzer that rimmed out that would have won the game.

    Luka’s three on Rudy was a coaching mistake. I think Finch is a great coach, but with the Wolves up 2, the only type of defense you play is to force a two pointer and no fouls. Then you either win or you’re tied with the ball. Either way, the season was well beyond what I ever thought it would be.

    The NBA has to do a much better job of announcing draft trades BEFORE the pick, the ESPN TV crew spent 4 minutes AFTER the pick talking about how Dillingham is such a great fit for the Spurs only to have to flip the script and then talk about the Wolves getting him… they’ve been doing this for years…

    Now use the #27 pick on a 3 point specialist or a big man that can learn to play defense under Rudy…

    Or trade out for future drafts… god knows we could recoup some future picks…

    Dillingham’s choice was to be drafted by the Spurs in one of his pre workout interviews. He got his wish, now bringyaass to MN! Perfect fit for the kid. He gets to sit behind Conley and take over next season while Mike slowly slips into retirement mode.

    With the team strapped against the luxury tax, it is huge to get talented players on rookie or vet minimum deals if the plan is to run it back. Really young kid so it will be a learning curve for him. Finchy does not historically embrace playing time for the younger players.

    I don’t care about who they drafted, they have a better chance of being a bench warmer than a star. But I do want to know more details on this guy they drafted at 27, who played for Ill, was in a bar in Kansas, was accused of sexually assaulting a gal, she picked him out in front of cops via their team photo, and after all of that the charges are dropped.

    There’s obviously more to the story and I’ll likely just to have to locate it. But that’s a helluva story while still playing basketball at a good enough level to be considering a top 25 pick. He was a 5th year senior, so maybe a little more mature than some, but that’s a lot to deal with as a young man and still pay ball, even if you knew you weren’t guilty….manure can still happen.
