This is the more NBA podcast, brought you by Blue Wire podcast, coming at your Tuesday morning, November 22nd.

And we're going to do this episode today

in a different format. It will be a solo recap of the win over Miami, kind of like old times

when I was doing those after every game. And in addition to the recap, we will preview Wednesday

evening's game against Indiana, where the wolves will go for their fifth straight win.

I'll be joined by Tony East, who covers the Pacers for Sports Illustrated.com for that segment of the show.

And we're doing this because, one, Thanksgiving week, I'm currently sitting in my hotel room.

I was not at Target Center last night.

I have some time to do this this morning.

And then I don't know, at least to me, it feels like it kind of juices up the importance of the next game.

So, you know, why not do a preview of it?

Let's start with those five themes.

And one, I think to look at the box score from this one makes Rudy Gobeyer a clear theme.

And this one, Gobert played 31 minutes and 22 seconds and was zero for zero from the field.

He did have four free throws, which were critical and we'll get to the importance of those.

But his final stat line was weird, zero for zero, four points, nine rebounds, zero assists,

and two blocks for Gobert.

However, and I don't know, I think from those of you who watch this, I wouldn't think we would say it was a terrible performance from Gobert.

He certainly had a defensive impact, but even offensively, it wasn't like he was hurting the team.
