The Minnesota Timberwolves led by 21 points in the third quarter but fell apart at the seams as they went down in defeat to Dejounte Murray and the Atlanta Hawks. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) attempts to parse what the biggest issues were; from Chris Finch’s timeout usage (or lack thereof) and substitution patterns to stagnant offense and poor defensive effort, there was plenty of blame to go around. How much of this is carryover from last year’s ongoing issues, and how much of it should we be legitimately concerned about?

I needed a therapy session after watching that game. Thanks Ben.
Finch is not it !!!
Finch is a Glorified Assistant Coach. Just an X and O's guy. Get a HC that can lead and hold players accountable.
These dudes been losing big leads for 2 years. Get finch outta there.
Glad Bally app was trashed and I couldn’t see any of it!
Tired of watching ant walk the ball up the court just about an 8 second call every time
Call a players only meeting like the Bulls did
I’m sickened by this loss
Very undisciplined squad
This was a signature loss of the season that will be felt all the way until the playoff standings are finalized.
Finch is a good coach, not a great one. This team needs a coach that can maximize this roster. Doc Rivers is out there!
