Chris Finch Fires Back At The Timberwolves' Rotation Critics

Finch is now the second-most successful head coach in Timberwolves history, only behind franchise icon Flip Saunders. He has proven he deserves to be in the job, but of course, no coach is perfect.

He could make some changes to his rotations, but it is also up to the front office to give him the most optimal roster possible. 

Finch Is Aware Of Social Media Criticism

As a head coach, Finch has become open to criticism because his decisions affect the result of games and the Playoff series. While most people are not in tune with his set plays, they see his rotations and how he balances every player's minutes.

Timberwolves fans are vocal on social media about Finch's rotations but leave out the context behind why he is making his choices.

Since the Timberwolves are in the middle of a week-long break to prepare for the series against the Los Angeles Lakers, Finch is doing his best to help the team amidst criticism.

"Everybody's got a thousand ideas of what to do at this time. I just need to go on to Twitter, and I'm a better coach," Finch said after practice. "Once things get a little rocky, I'll probably do that. It's not just about having all these ideas. It's what can you actually accomplish at a high level?"

Finch And The Timberwolves Have A Lot To Prove In The Playoffs

The Playoffs will be a huge stage for the Timberwolves because they could pull off an upset. They are the heavy underdogs against the Lakers, but people often forget they split the season series at 2-2.

While most people will point out Luka Doncic and LeBron James as the primary threats, they should also admit that Anthony Edwards could be the best player in the series.

It will be a more equal matchup than most people expect, and that will be due to the chess match between Chris Finch and Lakers head coach JJ Redick. Finch has the experience advantage, which could be the key to winning the series.

Finch has a tough test with the Lakers, and he wants to keep winning games and maximizing the talented players he has in his rotations.
