Asked Chris Finch pregame about how Anthony Edwards has been talking the last few weeks about needing to be more aggressive and how that squares with what Finch has been saying about the team needing more ball movement.
Thought he had an interesting answer…

#Celtics list both Horford and Porzingis on the injury report vs. the #Timberwolves ahead of the back-to-back at the #Bucks. Holiday listed too. Obviously, the conference matchup at Milwaukee is that much more important than Minnesota on the front end. – 4:57 PM

Jimmy Butler is out tomorrow vs OKC.
But the Heat are still 7-5 without Butler this season, including 3-1 at home.
Miami has wins over the 76ers, Magic, Hawks (2x), Warriors, Lakers and Rockets without Butler. – 3:58 PM

This was probably the Wolves best possession of pick and roll defense on Luka Doncic — and i think it’s largely because it’s Gobert and Anderson in the action.
Doncic is the player Gobert most willingly plays up the floor against. It’s big that he can come up the floor to show… pic.twitter.com/SUaW4l3z89 – 2:19 PM

Now watching Mike Conley play all the time, it’s been really fun to pick up on the little things he does, especially on defense, that slightly lower the chances of success for the other team.
I swear these little Conley stunts when needing to guard two have saved the Wolves like… pic.twitter.com/0wawPeDOyv – 2:09 PM

Really liked this play. In particular…
– Reid getting off it in the post rather than forcing up a shot just because it’s late shot clock
– Gobert and NAW recognizing it is late shot clock, so decisive into PnR
– Great NAW pass to Naz in the corner (love his ambidextrous plays)

Being as Finch subbed out Anderson at the next dead ball, I think Finch is done playing lineups with three players who are not shooting threats — in this case Gobert, Anderson and McLaughlin (but Milton has been in that bin too).
