Summary

On today’s show, Dane brings immediate reactions from the Timberwolves 93-91 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night. We dig into the Karl-Anthony Towns, Anthony Edwards and D’Angelo Russell all struggling, while Malik Beasley appeared to get his rhythm back. And then we look ahead to what could be a trap game against a big Orlando Magic team on Monday. Topics include: — KAT + Ant + DLo combine to score 42 points, and why the Wolves offense needs to call KAT’s number more often — Beasley catches a rhythm, making six 3s in the loss — Beasley’s growth as a defender, and why he is key to the Wolves finding their ceiling — Looking ahead to Monday’s matchup against a young but physically imposing Orlando Magic team, and why that game’s result will indicate what direction the Wolves are moving in Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	This is the daymore NBA podcast brought to you by Blue Wire podcasts.
0:17.9	The Timberwolves lose on Sunday night, 93 to 91 against the Denver Nuggets.
0:23.6	They went down to the wire.
0:24.8	There was three seconds left in the game when Malik Beasley had a transition layup that was
0:29.4	blocked by Will Barton.
0:31.6	Ante Edwards scooped up the offensive rebound on that blocked shot, but he also missed
0:35.9	his follow-up layup, and that was it.

1:16.9	of the ball, you know, only scoring 91 points, I think that's kind of indicative of where the wolves
1:22.2	are too. Like this wolf's offense has been also making an underwhelming pattern on the offensive end.
1:30.5	They're not at all looking like the top 10 offense.
1:33.3	We all pretty much assume they would be this year.
1:35.9	I mean, it's still only five games into the year.
1:38.7	So these numbers are still a bit wonky,
