Summary

On today's show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson of MinnPost to discuss Britt's most recent column on the Timberwolves having the most effective starting five in the NBA but still only having a record of 18-20. Dane and Britt discuss how the starting five alone can not carry the Wolves to the playoffs, and thus the need to effectively find lineups created out of bench players or blends of bench players and starters. Britt also raves about Patrick Beverley and Dane makes the case for and against Jarred Vanderbilt making an All-Defensive team. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

I thought it was a little bit more succinct than you gave it credit for, really Brit leading

1:01.1

with what has been kind of the lead for this team's success over the course of the last month,

which is the dominance of the starting lineup. But then you kind of get into the course of the last month, which is the dominance of the starting lineup.

1:14.2

But then you kind of get into the point of,

1:16.7

okay, cool.

1:18.4

You got the best starting lineup in the league,

1:19.4
