Minnesota Timberwolves Fans Call For Head Coach Chris Finch To Be Fired After Collapse Against the Milwaukee Bucks
On Tuesday, the Denver Nuggets shockingly fired head coach Mike Malone right before the playoffs. Earlier this season, the Memphis Grizzlies fired head coach Taylor Jenkins. With these two head coaches being fired before the playoffs, it appears as if Timberwolves fans want the same to happen with Finch, although they made it to the Western Conference Finals last season.
This is what Minnesota fans said about Finch on social media:
LEAVE FINCH IN MILWAUKEE
