The Minnesota Timberwolves have reached the Western Conference Finals in consecutive seasons under head coach Chris Finch. However, despite this, not everyone is convinced that he can bring the team to the promised land.
Speaking in a recent episode of Byron Scott’s Fast Break podcast, former NBA journeyman Olden Polynice went off about Finch, who was even compared to Tom Thibodeau, a former head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“As long as Finch is the head coach, nope. I go with the universe, man. here’s certain people, certain looks, certain different combinations of things that tell you if you’re going to make it and win,” Polynice stated.
“Finch does not look like a head coach. Just like Thibodeau… Can you imagine him winning a championship? No, it ain’t happening. Finch is not a championship coach. He makes all the wrong moves at all the right times,” he added.
Minnesota Timberwolves News: Anthony Edwards drops three-word masterplan for the 2025-26 NBA season
Anthony Edwards dropped a bold outlook on the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 2025-26 NBA campaign during his Adidas tour in China last month, promoting the AE2 signature shoe.
“Championship, Minnesota Timberwolves,” Edwards said in front of a packed crowd.
Edwards is coming off his best year in the NBA, averaging 27.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists, and 1.2 steals on 45/40/84 shooting splits across 79 regular season starts. Despite this, many fans and pundits believe that the 24-year-old swingman has yet to reach his full potential.
