I was concerned about Randle's laziness on defense when we gave him that contract extension..
So what do we do?
Randle is so insulting to every basketball player that didn't get to be 6'9 240 lb.
This is so depressing. 😮
At least Naz tries, it’s kind of not his fault that he’s being played at center when he’s too small. Moving Randle for a PG and backup center might be the answer to the issues they’re having. Jaden could play more 4 in that situation too.
Ant is up there too for bad defense. If he’s fired up and it’s a close game, he’s all over the person but most of the time, he is very inactive on defense
Ya but on the flip side it’s great offensively especially down the stretch in tight games, gives us more spacing and allows for Ant to have more room to operate. It’s definitely a give and take offense vs defense situation.
Play Rocco for a few minutes that Rudy is off the floor
So who should go? Naz seems like he's always behind defensively and then overcompensating which seems fixable? But how many years has he had to address this… Randle is a big part of the offense but just seems to have no desire to play defense which also seems tough to work with. Is there a way to move both of them and bring back another big and point guard?
Merry Christmas H&G!
Finch is such an old school coach by trusting raw experienced players 😂
They cannot play together anymore. I don’t know why Finch keeps trying to force them to play together. We need to get rid of Julius cause he has more value there’s a team out there that’s gonna want him and we can get a proper point guard and a good backup center. That is ready to play until Joan is ready. Joan and Rocco I’m sick of seeing these two on the core finch does not learn and he keeps saying the same BS on the post games press conference
Just trade them both…
Its almost like we need a backup big rather than a point gaurd…
Don't worry, I'm sure Finch will get right on it and try some new things to make this team work!! He's a great coach after all, very dynamic, doesn't play favorites and knows exactly when to call timeouts and stop a run!!!
There’s really no excuse for not playing Beringer 10 or 15 minutes at center. Naz ain’t doing it. Trying to blame Randle is stupid.
The timberwolves have a bunch of lazy unmotivated players. They don’t have the mental toughness to win a championship.
They should’ve signed naw instead of Reid ngl, especially if they already pick two bigs from draft . Naw can give you offense AND defense, when naz can’t make shots he has nothing else to offer other than fouls
Despite it feeling good because of some of the players it's been done to Randle is going to end up dealt with considering his latest chin shot strategy
Get Julius off my team man
As much as i love NAZ REID, i would package him for a nice guard with 3 ball ability ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. Then Beringer can come in and provide defense from the bench.
Wolves need to make a move because I'm not gonna lie Ant saying "maybe that's timberwolves basketball" last night sounded a whole lot like "I'm not happy on this team". And his smile post game didnt look happy, it looked like a fake smile of someone fed up with his teammates.
But maybe im reading to much into it.
They don't do the work on defense.
If this "smart" head Coach play Joan Beringer in those non-rudy mins it would be a different. Yea he is raw but his talent is defense! It cant be any worse, especially if he messes up at times
This is a great breakdown. Seeing this kind of defence from professionals is inexcusable.
Tbh I would’ve rather kept NAW over Reid
Bro Chris Finch is the problem I keep saying this
Since he won’t play any of our young guys despite some clear flaws in the rotations, I think we should bench Finch and let Nori take over as hc for a little bit
Julius Randle is playing great having his fourth All-Star season. Trying to blame him because Nas Reid can’t play the center position and is a weak defender and only can shoot threes. Offensively is just stupid. That and all the dumb ass comments from the Randall heaters is why I unsubscribed to your channel. Randle has probably the most team friendly contract in the league while Naz Reid is the most overrated player on the team. Behringer should be backing up Rudy and Naz Reid should be playing no more than 15 or 20 minutes a game.
Great Breakdown!
Finch needs to go. He's not the guy to lead this team to a chip
Both Randle and Reid are turnover machines too!!!
We need Trae young bruh
Is Jaden too skinny to be Made a PF? I think he excells as a defender as a weak side shot blocker, he's bigger than naz and randle so size isnt a problem, man something needs to change on the team we're regressing
I’m a Knicks fan and an NBA junky. Randle has impressed me because with the Knicks he was unwatchable in way too many games. Lazy on defense, a turnover machine and a nasty attitude. Although he seems more engaged and offensively better with the wolves. His defense is still an issue. As for Naz. I’m sick of seeing such a tall player like him, hangout all day by the 3 point line chucking up 3s. Mr big for nothing
If we’re being real Minnesota needs to rebuild. Their team is way too expensive to be performing at this level.
We are not ready for no ring rn. Either have a plan at trade deadline or build for next year and the year after. Things that we need to do: •Let McDaniels be the dirty work guy or let him build his offense more to become a scottie pippen like player and get a dirty work guy like dennis rodman, jalen williams, or someone like them. •Trade randle, idk why we got him but randle is not a good fit next to edwards knowing edwards inside-out game and randle being more of an inside guy which edwards is best at too. •Figure out a way to get naz reid back going and efficient or trade him. • and so much more but its not my job to be a coach😂. I really feel bad for edwards. The man should have been in 1 or 2 finals, and in my opinion won one. So talented. Please lets not waste his talent like we did Garnett😢
Great job here, JP.
Can you call the coach and tell him about how you’ve broken this problem down.
i’m convinced finch told julius that he’s the #1 option on this team cause that’s what randle acts like. when his offense isn’t working he just decides to not give a fuck about anything else. naz hasn’t been good on defense for a while and that contract makes me scratch my head. finch is not a good coach and him still giving mike conley 10+ minutes a game shows that. 3 big ass problems minnesota needs to fix before they ever see another conference final or ring. i hate to say it, but i see them being a first round exit at best
So subscribing to channel helps getting less Reid & Randle minutes? Nice.
