I’m betting Finch gets fired during the season. Lots of people focusing on the offensive struggles but Toronto has the roster to be a top 5 defensive team (12th last year) so the Wolves not shooting well shouldn’t be a huge surprise. The vibes though were definitely still off. This team has persistently bad vibes as evidenced by the end of the last regular season (vibe maintenance is a key part of the job of NBA coach) and routinely fails to look like they are more than the sum of their parts (the other key component of a head coaches job). I don’t doubt he’s a great tactician however this group needs a ‘leader of men’ type as opposed to just an X’s and O’s coach.
It’s time. Though, I’m not exactly sure what the return will be. I think NY would be the logical trade partner but man I’m not totally sure if they would pony up most of their best assets.
