Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson from MinnPost to discuss the Wolves win in Dallas on Monday night. A win that hinted at both the additional ways the Wolves can maximize Rudy Gobert and the idea that sometimes not playing him can be okay too. An array of topics in today’s show... — Gobert shows, at least for a game, that he can contribute to the Wolves’ fly-around identity — How Dallas played Gobert off the floor with a 5-out look, and how the Wolves’ adjusted — Why KAT will be a critical counter-punch to opponents going small against the Wolves — How much was Kyrie’s 4th quarter ambush about the Wolves’ defense? — Ant becoming increasingly undeniable on offense — To what extent will the Wolves miss DLo’s shooting? — What is it the Wolves want out of Conley? — The Gobert-Conley pick and roll chemistry — What to do about the Gobert post ups? — How might KAT fit with Conley compared to Russell? — The jam-packed Western Conference standings Sign up today for a 14-day free trial of Aura’s digital security at Aura.com/Dane Learn more about your ad choices.

0:14.9	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by the Genesis Company coming at you Tuesday afternoon.
0:19.1	It's February 14th.
0:22.3	The wolves are, of course,
0:30.1	coming off a 124-1-21 win in Dallas against Luca Donchich and Kyrie Irving on Monday night.
0:35.6	It was a game that, I think, brought some new developments for a wolves team that is now developing a at least slightly new identity post-trade
