The Thunder coach had a blunt vision of Chris Finch de Timberwolves to complain about references

NBA qualifiers generally tend to present an official pinch of controversy, and the final of the western conference of this year will probably be no exception.
It seems that the mind games have already started between Oklahoma Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves before match 1 Tuesday evening, with the coach of Thunder Mark Daigneault, asking questions about his opponent’s well -known attempts to try to cook the favor with the referees.
Daigneault was questioned at a pre-match press conference for his reflections on Timberwolves coach, Chris Finch, potentially trying to go ahead in the series of eliminant series in politics to the referees to influence their opinion.
Daigneault replied that his goal is to focus on his own team and that he trusted the referees working on games to do their job.
“We are preparing the team for the matches, first of all,” said Daigneault. “I said that in the Denver series because he also arrived there – teams, players, coaches will use the media to try to influence the whistle as a competitive advantage.
“… My mentality on this subject is, it is the finals of the Western Conference. The guys who work these games are not there for an accident. I do not think they are influenced by everything I say or all that our team says. I do not think they are compromised by what someone else says. We will simply focus on what we can control.”
During the last Thunder’s regular season meeting against the Timberwolves in February, Minnesota overcome a 25 -point deficit to beat OKC in a thriller from 131 to 128 in overtime. Despite the victory of his team, Finch spent part of his post-match meter criticizing the referees for their gilded whistle perceived towards thunder.
“It’s so frustrating to play this team because they are going a ton. They really do it. They get fat, they go all the time,” said Finch. “And then you can’t really touch Shai [Gilgeous-Alexander]. It is a very frustrating thing, and it takes a lot of mental tenacity to play it. “”
The officer surrounding thunder – and, more specifically, around Gilgeous -Alexander – was a hot topic last season, and he could most likely stay in the playoffs. The tip for match 1 is 8:30 p.m. he.
