Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch explains why he chose to move Donte DiVincenzo into the starting lineup and bench Mike Conley
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch has been trying out new starting lineups and rotations. It's no secret that Minnesota has underperformed this season. Going from a Western Conference Finals appearance to a team hanging on for dear life for a playoff spot is not what the organization envisioned.
If Rudy Gobert was listening and is open to criticism, there's a pretty good chance the 7-footer's rebounding numbers are going to increase.
Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Julius Randle appears to be frustrated, and this could mark the beginning of the end of his time in Minnesota.

Julius Randle was a key to the Timberwolves' victory against the Pelicans, and Chris Finch gave him his flowers.
The first words out of Chris Finch’s mouth following the Minnesota Timberwolves’ dispiriting 119-105 defeat in Detroit were, in typical Finch fashion, straight and to the point. “Doomed by a poor start, really,” he said. “I thought the start was ...
Timberwolves Head coach Chris Finch has seen the offense spike upwards while Dillingham is on the floor. He is a dynamic talent capable of passing the rock, and he can provide points off the bench as well. It remains to be seen just how open Finch will be to committing consistent time for his rookie.
Even when the Timberwolves look like they're figuring it out with seven wins in 10 games, they revealed themselves as an unserious basketball team when they trailed the Warriors 34-12 after one quarter Wednesday night and wound up losing 116-115. It was the latest speed bump in a season full of inconsistencies.
