This is the name more NBA podcast brought to you by the Genesis Company Company of Monday morning.

It's March 11th after the Wolves 120 to

109 loss in L.A. to the Lakers on Sunday night. Chris Hine, you're there. You're now outside

with a couple chirping birds. That's right. We have some lovely, lovely friends joining us this

morning here on my friend's porch. So yeah. And sunny L.A.

Sunny L.A. Listen, if we're going to do an outdoor podcast, where else do you want to do it besides

lovely Los Angeles? Exactly. Exactly. You were there at Crypto last night. We saw the Wolves play

not only without Carl Anthony Towns towns uh without rudy gober and

without kyle anderson i think the place to start sort of talking about like game specifics is

gnaz but i'm just kind of curious i wasn't there like what was sort of just the vibe and the lead

up to the game once you know you found out that Gobert wasn't playing,

Anderson wasn't playing, and he knew this was going to kind of be a cobble it together sort of

night. You know, I think it's always different when you see guys hit the injury report with

hamstrings. I think that's one thing you learn in the course of being on an NBA beat or sports beat in general.

We've seen like Rudy pops up on the injury report like ankle soreness from time to time or knee soreness, whatever it is.

Hamstring soreness is always a little differently handled.

And it tends to cost guys at least a couple games when you see that pop up because it's just so you just

don't want it to to get any worse and you know keep guys out for potentially longer so when we get

the mid-afternoon injury report update rudy's got hamstring soreness in my mind i'm thinking

probably not going to go tonight so i you know you know, he was, I saw him,

you know, warming up. He was, he was going through like, you know, pregame routine. And then,

you know, the inactive list and starters come out. He's not on it. Kyle's not on it either.
