I’m out of adjectives… so if anyone has any suggestions for how ____ this team is, I’m all ears.
There is no “welcome to the WNBA” moment for Olivia Miles, there is only a “welcome to Olivia Miles” moment for the WNBA and it happens like 8 times a game.
I can’t stand the Spurs, but I hate the Thunder more. Since both teams can’t lose this series, I hope it at least exposes both as being unethical, foul baiting, embellishing floppers and the world ends up hating them both.
Everyone except Ant is available this offseason for the Wolves. This roster has peaked. The combination of coach and his system and the current personnel simply don’t work. One or the other (or both) needs to change.
If Finch still comes out of half with the same starting lineup that has proven to be ineffective in this entire series then it’s obvious he’s protecting Julius/Rudy and afraid to make the necessary adjustments because of pride and feelings.
The past few years have been such a fun run. We were a poverty franchise and have gone to back to back WCF and now a 2nd round appearance. That being said, even if healthy, this core's window has closed. It's time to restructure and to move to the next phase.
