Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson of MinnPost to discuss Britt’s column on the Wolves’ underwhelming start to the season. The first four games of the season have left a lot to be desired from this new-look Wolves, so Dane and Britt try and dig into where those desires lie — and to try and figure out how rectifiable those issues are. Topics for today’s episode include: — How Finch has chosen to structure the Wolves, and where they might benefit from more structure — KAT’s calls to “be great” not yet being answered — A lack of effort showing up in transition defense and on the defensive glass — Where Ant and DLo could add juice to both the offense and defense — How long will it take to break bad habits? — Missing McDaniels’ glue — Gobert’s leadership role — The Wolves playing zone as a fallback plan for the defense not being executed consistently Sign up today for a 14-day free trial of Aura’s digital security at Aura.com/Dane Use Code Dane25 to get 25% off- https://trylgc.com/Dane #ad Learn more about your ad choices.

0:42.8	We know what's ugly and unacceptable.
0:46.4	It was a filleting Chris Finch press conference after the game,
0:53.8	only rivaled by my guest, Britt Robson's opening
0:57.8	paragraph today in his piece up at Minpost in which I'm going to read it, Britt, through the
1:04.1	first four games of the 2022-23 NBA season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have performed with an
1:09.5	unlikable mixture of indolence and
1:11.2	arrogance disrespecting the game that gives them their livelihood, which is arguably the most
1:16.0	talented roster in the 34-year history of the franchise is assuming superiority with deeming

1:29.5	They are carving out an identity akin to an Ivy League graduate, just appointed executive
1:35.7	vice president of Daddy's company.
1:39.6	Tell us how you really feel, Britt.
1:43.1	Well, I mean, what we've been concerned about, what we came into this season being concerned about is schematic fits and whether or not the personnel could be molded into a synergistic fashion.
