0:00.0	This is the dayn'clock.
0:13.7	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you by prize picks coming at late Saturday night.
0:19.0	It's January 27th after the Wolves won 13 to
0:22.6	112 loss in San Antonio tonight. Ooh, yeah, well, we'll get to that. My plan for this episode,
0:30.7	regardless of what happened in the Spurs matchup, was to have a little bit of a different format
0:35.6	for this episode, and that's because on Thursday, I recorded with Alex Spears from the Athletics, Oklahoma City Thunder podcast,
0:43.5	down to dunk with the plan that I would do a little 15-minute segment off the top here by myself
0:51.3	of whatever happens in the Wolves Sp spurs game and then we get to
0:55.7	Alex and I discussing this big wolves and thunder match up in advance of the yeah wolves and
1:01.1	thunder playing on Monday obviously this this 15 minute segment on the spurs game just got
1:06.6	a little bit more interesting with that being a loss so So coming up are some Spurs Wolves takeaways, and then Alex and I dig into the
1:16.2	Wolves Thunder matchup, almost like it's a playoff series preview.
1:20.8	I really like, you know, doing episodes like this.
1:24.6	We did that last year with, you know, some of the Denver guys before
1:27.5	the playoff series did it back with the Grizzlies back then. So kind of has that vibe,
1:31.2	even though I know we're still here in the middle of the season. But because we recorded that
1:36.8	on Thursday, I obviously don't have the knowledge that the wolves would be arriving in Oklahoma City
1:42.8	following a loss to the 10 and 36 San Antonio
1:46.4	Spurs. But I still think it's a good conversation and maybe a good way to start looking past
1:52.6	this Spurs game that I'm sure many of you want to forget. But let's do some takeaways
1:58.1	quickly from 113, 112 spurs over wolves.
2:04.0	The first takeaway to me is very obvious from this game.
