[Hine] Rudy Gobert: “Just no effort. We’ve seen that many times … since I’ve been here. We always know it’s coming. When it comes there’s no sense of urgency, no accountability. I think at some point if players don’t have accountability someone has to have accountability for the players.

it’s the same quotes every time lmao
If you’ve seen it so many times (which we ALL have), why the fuck does it never change? At some point you have to start calling into question how much these guys *really* care about winning.
Yeah it’s fucking Finch and quit pretending it isn’t. He clearly isn’t instilling a sense of urgency in these guys and runs such a predictable rotation that there are zero consequences for bad effort. Appreciate what he’s done but we need a ‘Malone to Adelman’ to see what Nori has before going into the offseason.
These guys don’t give a shit until the playoffs. It’s not something you can teach someone. We have to accept that with this core roster this will never change
We could play the best team tomorrow and go punch-for-punch with them, then turn around and lose to the worst team.
Alot of us been saying this for a while but we were told “ Finchy” holds these guys accountable
They’re so burnt out on the regular season grind lmao
I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt they’ll flip the switch again
Finch is an AAU coach.
Effort was shit out the gate. I saw Randle consistently be the 9th or 10th man up the floor in the first quarter.
Finch’s I would be fired if I didn’t play ayo as the 8th man comment shows he knows that he’s coaching for his job, and the performance tonight in the second half has me wondering if the players are trying to push him out.
“Someone has to have accountability for the players”
This is a coaching issue.
This is on everyone. This organization needs to figure out how to be championship serious if that is really what they want.
They can beat anyone when they show up and play hard and focused the whole game, but they consistently have these dud quarters/ halves/ games and piss easy wins away.
Is Donte the only person involved that has a ring?
It’s clear that it’s just not in Julius Randle’s DNA to play with consistent effort, and and at 31 years old that’s not going to change. And now I worry his lack of effort makes it easier for younger players (like Ant) to slack on plays. That kind of shit is contagious.
Sounds like bad leadership. Aka, finch.
You could take a middle school basketball team, put it on TV, and have them play the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves would have a 50/50 chance of dropping that game.
If you’re gonna be ass and lose to the 14-40 Pelicans just play the bench guys. Have some fucking respect for your own team. 18 point comeback is disgusting.
They don’t hate to lose.
-shoresy
Even if this is mostly on the players, Finch has to go. Same bullshit with lack of effort for his entire tenure as HC. Someone needs to hold these guys accountable.
Do you think there’s a point in the game where they go “oh shit, we’re gonna have to roll out the usual answers to the press after this” and then they spend all their energy trying to come up with something different to say after the game and they just say the same shit and go “fuck I really don’t come up with something ew to say after that terrible loss. I should try harder next game, to come up with a better reason for why we lost to a team beneath us”
lol where’s all the people that say losing Jaden is not worth it for Giannis. Sadiq Bey is better than Jaden McDaniels.
