Finch has been so much better with timeouts in the second half of the season

Need to string together two minutes worth of winning possessions and Minnesota will be in good shape.

That was a GREAT timeout. We are getting SLOPPY. What was Naz thinking throwing something that fast to Rudy. Rudy doesn’t have the hands for that.

Who could blame them? Rudy just needs to make one of two.

Hack a Rudy only works when Rudy doesn’t hit free throws. P.S don’t tell Denver that ;)

They did, Jokic is a GOAT level player. Holding him to that is the goal.

Mike at 23, Rudy at 21, Ant at 20, Jaden at 17. Any given night we have multiple 20 ppg players.
