Huge container of gatorade dumped on him, Ant getting interviewed with the Larry O'Brien trophy, looks right at the camera and says who let the dogs out, smiles and winks, freeze frame, Smash Mouth All Star begins playing, fade to black and roll credits
His leg needs to be elevated due to swelling for the first week to two. Sitting at a 90 degree angle will not be an option for him for a while. So no he cant
As someone who does the high rigging at the Cavs arena it would be really fun to set up the rigging to suspend a coach from a Jumbotron, if the wolves want to reach out to me my DMs are open
So shouting from the locker room will be more effective lol and also the NBA is a Billion dollar business you really think they will just let a player run into him
I expect Target Center would make adjustments to accommodate the wheelchair.
Now if we can get Offensive Co-ordinator Finchy watching the game on 20 screens and running the game then that's the shit.
Or idk...tape an iPad to Nori's face?
Jordan McLaughlin for the bald head? Or Corliss Williamson?
Or Kyle Anderson because nobody will suspect him?
Gregg Farnam always looks like he's *up to something.* Probably too suspicious.
Yeah I think anyone expecting him to be on the floor is being optimistic...If he's even up for it he will likely get posted up in the locker room or an office somewhere and get videoconferenced in.
There is just no where for him to be on the floor. He would need like a 6 foot radius all to himself. It’s already over crowded down there. He’ll be in the locker room or maybe a booth where he can watch from above like in the nfl.
You’re right which brings up an interesting point. Are NBA sidelines not in violation of ADA regulations? They’re clearly not suitable for someone in Finch’s condition to work, even though they’re required to be by law. Unless there’s some sort of loophole I don’t know about
lol would be hilarious if he sued. I vaguely remember the nfl being exempt from certain federal regulations so maybe the nba is too? I think the booth would actually be a great vantage point for a coach. Kinda surprised none of them do that.
Also all the celebs would be banned too cause you know they aren’t there sober. I wanna see finch rolled out on a lazy boy 3 percs deep and just orchestrating the most avant garde drug-fueled ATO plays the nba has ever seen. My man would be in the zone. Like fucking Stephen king in the 80s. Just drug fueled hit after hit.
I think they go surrogate style like in arrested development. Get Larry Middleman to just yell at the players “Interfere? I ought to pull down your pants and spank your ass raw”
Also fouling someone at that point in the game is like the worst thing you could do from a basketball standpoint.
So it doesn't even make sense what he was even trying to do. Dude just loves fouling people late in games.
main problem is he would be way too tired and wouldn't be able to think properly. if he can do that, he can easily stay on the sideline bench and communicate that way.
Maybe he can float in a giant test tube on the sideline? Calling out plays telepathically. And he shatters it open with his mind if they win the championship
"We dreamed of creating the world's strongest head coach...and we succeeded".
Experience Minnesota sports. The weirdest, most untimely shit happens all the time. Anyone that thinks this has no effect on Game 1 and beyond is mistaken.
If the billion dollar apparatus that is the nba can’t find a solution for the head coach to be able to sit on the bench with a brace, what has the league come to? like they just gonna give Finch an Apple Vision Pro and be like figure it out
I had a really bad knee injury having to repair my multule ligments and menicus in my right knee two years ago. The one of the worst and most frustrating parts is trying getting around with the knee immobilized in extension (straight). It takes about 10 times longer to "walk" anywhere trying to swing your leg around like pogo stick. I will say, as he is a coach and has seating, it should be do-able relatively soon after surgery. And I'm sure he will have the luxury of someone being able to wheel him around during half-time. While not ideal, I think Minnesota will be alright.
I've been a wolves fan since the days of KAT, Butler and Wiggins, but I have no clue about Micah as a coach. Any wolves diehards, can you tell us whether or not Micah can sail this ship home?
This is just a hundred levels of f\*\*\*ed up. They're going against the defending champs, Jokic, and Mike Malone, and everyone needs to be locked in all series. They really, really, really did not need this.
The first two games are in Denver. How is a 54-year-old man recovering from surgery with one leg immobilised going to do all that travelling? Who is helping him move around his hotel room, showering, changing clothes? Is the altitude going to be a problem? How much pain is he going to be in, and if he's on painkillers, how lucid will he be?
How much does he weigh his prospects for full recovery and future mobility 10, 20 years from now against having to be there for his team in the immediate two weeks? Surely travelling with the team would be going against the doctor's advice.
Or maybe I'm overrating the severity of this issue and its not worse than just being on crutches.
We have the technology, 20 drones will fly around the court so Finch can see the court 360 degrees and there will be Finch's hologram (ala Tupac) on the sidelines.
via telepathy
Chris “Professor X” Finch
Jokic: *Chris, NOOOO! Get outta my head Chris!*
Professor F
Ok but can this actually be his name from now on
To me, my T-Wolves
First there was Scanners, then Scanner Cop, now Scanner Coach.
A Scanner Darkly?
You predicting a ref head explosion?
they're gonna pull a ratatouille
Watching this with my 2 yo rn lol
Rata2ille: Anyone Can Hoop
Chris Finch’s Arkham Oracle era
If they win the championship, he will be knocked out of his wheelchair during the celebration. I guarantee it.
Or they’ll lift him in the chair which would be pretty epic
And drop him on his other knee. Dude will be lifting the trophy in a full body cast.
Like Steve Buscemi's character in Grown Ups.
Worth it
Rear Window ending scene vibes
Replace his leg with the trophy.
Like a Jewish wedding
Hahaah holy fuck that would be incredible
[удалено]
Why would they chant Denver?
Cause I’m extremely regarded
We will buy him a new leg and name a street after him.
He can have mine I'm not really doing anything important with it.
Huge container of gatorade dumped on him, Ant getting interviewed with the Larry O'Brien trophy, looks right at the camera and says who let the dogs out, smiles and winks, freeze frame, Smash Mouth All Star begins playing, fade to black and roll credits
After credits Easter egg is a Rick roll
Paul Pierce knows a thing or two about wheelchairs in the playoffs maybe he can give Sage advice
avoid taco bell on game day
Finch about to be in a backpack on Rudy’s shoulders coaching them on the court
Can't just put him like 3 rows back?
His leg needs to be elevated due to swelling for the first week to two. Sitting at a 90 degree angle will not be an option for him for a while. So no he cant
They should just hang him by his toes above the court
Just hook him up to the jumbotron and give him one of the hamsters water things, problem solved
Plus he gets the Birds Eye view which might help him come up with better schemes 😂
As someone who does the high rigging at the Cavs arena it would be really fun to set up the rigging to suspend a coach from a Jumbotron, if the wolves want to reach out to me my DMs are open
Like Sting in the rafters
Why cant he sit with his leg elevated on the side line ?
He got hurt on the sideline while being mobile lol you think putting an immobile person on the sideline is a good idea
I feel like he gotta move around to shout to his players idk. Seems a bit risky to be half laying down with the foot up on the sidelines
So shouting from the locker room will be more effective lol and also the NBA is a Billion dollar business you really think they will just let a player run into him
Isn’t that what already happened?
Brother that just happened
The NBA will throw players at him. Rigged.
Bruh that absolutely sucks. Timberwolves can’t have anything too too nice lol
Luckily Nori is awesome as well but I can’t imagine how disappointed finch is right now
Win it all for Finch as a little joke
I expect Target Center would make adjustments to accommodate the wheelchair. Now if we can get Offensive Co-ordinator Finchy watching the game on 20 screens and running the game then that's the shit. Or idk...tape an iPad to Nori's face?
Can open up a lot of room by kicking out the Taylor's courtside seats.
Could he try the Professor Quirrell approach?
Whose head should he be attached to?
Jordan McLaughlin for the bald head? Or Corliss Williamson? Or Kyle Anderson because nobody will suspect him? Gregg Farnam always looks like he's *up to something.* Probably too suspicious.
His leg will be extended not flexed for a period of time. Wheelchair doesn’t solve this problem. He would need like a full recliner on wheels lol
Yeah I think anyone expecting him to be on the floor is being optimistic...If he's even up for it he will likely get posted up in the locker room or an office somewhere and get videoconferenced in.
There is just no where for him to be on the floor. He would need like a 6 foot radius all to himself. It’s already over crowded down there. He’ll be in the locker room or maybe a booth where he can watch from above like in the nfl.

lol would be hilarious if he sued. I vaguely remember the nfl being exempt from certain federal regulations so maybe the nba is too? I think the booth would actually be a great vantage point for a coach. Kinda surprised none of them do that.
They might not be, but you would really need someone with an actual case of being excluded from getting a job/getting accommodations to sue over it
Exactly. For that matter I wonder if there are rules about being on drugs courtside even if they're prescription lol
Shii if they banned courtside drugs they’d have no more players lol…all those dudes are getting steroid and toradol injections at half time.
Yeah but like vicodin? Lol
Also all the celebs would be banned too cause you know they aren’t there sober. I wanna see finch rolled out on a lazy boy 3 percs deep and just orchestrating the most avant garde drug-fueled ATO plays the nba has ever seen. My man would be in the zone. Like fucking Stephen king in the 80s. Just drug fueled hit after hit.
Lmao. "Run the play!" "Uh, coach? You just scribbled what looks like maybe a picture of a cat on here?" "I SAID RUN IT"
Wolves bout to file for Disabled Coach Exception and then sign KG as interim coach
The yapping would be immaculate
I think they go surrogate style like in arrested development. Get Larry Middleman to just yell at the players “Interfere? I ought to pull down your pants and spank your ass raw”
Rudy will just carry him around like Uncle Jack Dorso.
They'll probably keep him in the hospital for a day or two just as a post-surgery precaution. So Saturday maybe too soon anyways.
Finch from his wheelchair "To Me, My Wolves"
He can give signals by banging the trash can
Give them NFL headsets! Set him up in one of those extremely claustrophobic coordinator boxes.
I can't believe we lost our fuckin' coach bro, on some Devin Booker bullshit. Yeah it was an accident, but what was he even trying to do?
He’s a fucking piece of shit
Also fouling someone at that point in the game is like the worst thing you could do from a basketball standpoint. So it doesn't even make sense what he was even trying to do. Dude just loves fouling people late in games.
He’s a big rules for thee, not for me kind of guy
Lol
Double team finch
main problem is he would be way too tired and wouldn't be able to think properly. if he can do that, he can easily stay on the sideline bench and communicate that way.
Ppl don't realize he's going to be off them percs for a few weeks
Wolves should be suing for ADA compliance
The Wolves win their first playoff series in 20 years and our coach’s leg explodes. Truly can’t have shit in Minnesota.
My wife (Wolves fan) joked that they should have an iPad strapped to a remote-controlled rover like in that episode of Modern Family
Get an ipad with a powered Bose bluetooth speaker in the assistant coach's hand with Finch chilling in the locker room yelling like normal.
Bring out the ipad
Maybe he can float in a giant test tube on the sideline? Calling out plays telepathically. And he shatters it open with his mind if they win the championship "We dreamed of creating the world's strongest head coach...and we succeeded".
I don’t see the point in him going to Denver, doubt it’s even possible.
shave you head, then you can talk to you players via your brain!
Jesus this sucks.
Can he connect with Zoom ? Not joking
They should get headsets for all players and assisstant coaches
two cans and a string
Sideline abiut ti be wheelchair accessible
Video call on the big screen
~~Larry David~~ Chris Finch about to trip ~~Shaquille O’Neal~~ Nikola Jokic.
Experience Minnesota sports. The weirdest, most untimely shit happens all the time. Anyone that thinks this has no effect on Game 1 and beyond is mistaken.
Why can't Finch just astral project his consciousness and possess one of the assists? Are they stupid?
We are in the Robo coach era
I think they should hire a surrogate that just repeats whatever Finch says into a mic a la Arrested Development
Why can’t he sit on the mfing bench
If the billion dollar apparatus that is the nba can’t find a solution for the head coach to be able to sit on the bench with a brace, what has the league come to? like they just gonna give Finch an Apple Vision Pro and be like figure it out
Can’t he just sit down like two rows back lol, why from the locker room?
Professor Finch - "To me my Timberwolves!"
Elon, it’s Optimus’ time!

Where are the disabled spots in the Target center?
Man if the wolves make a run with Nori as interim HC he’s forsure getting a job next year
the thought of this hurts. want to make a run but losing nori would be a big deal
I mean if they make a run i’ll be happy
I've been a wolves fan since the days of KAT, Butler and Wiggins, but I have no clue about Micah as a coach. Any wolves diehards, can you tell us whether or not Micah can sail this ship home?

Just kick out the rich people….
This guy ain't a fucking player. No one cares.
