Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Britt Robson of MinnPost to discuss Britt’s most recent column. A column that highlights what has and has not worked in the first seven games of the season for the Wolves and offers up potential tweaks that Chris Finch may lean into in these next seven games, as the quality of opponent is likely to ramp up. Topics include... — Assessing the team through the “easy” portion of the schedule — Where there are grounds for optimism when assessing the Wolves play in October — Long-term defensive concerns despite currently ranking 4th in defensive efficiency — Adding focus to unlocking D’Angelo Russell, deemphasizing the focus on unlocking Rudy Gobert on offense — Is this Wolves team a “play up” or “play down” to their competition team? — What sort of difference would it make if the Wolves started taking and making more 3s — Looking into the Phoenix matchup 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.
