Summary

D'Angelo Russell said after the Timberwolves fourth consecutive loss on Sunday to the Denver Nuggets that he doesn't think the Wolves are "ready to win yet" because they are "still figuring out how to lose". On today's pod, we playback Russell's postgame comments and talk about how this team does not look ready to win yet. We get into: How Ed Davis moving into the starting lineup helped to get Russell going in pick and roll game; Why Russell and Ricky Rubio did not share the floor; Malik Beasley's impressive performance against his former squad; and asked the question: Can this team be expected to win any games in KAT's absence?

And yes, the Timberwolves lost again tonight against the Denver Nuggets, but this game felt a little bit more like a real NBA basketball game.

1:08.2

Ed Davis just described it best, just now on Zoom after the game when he said

1:12.1

we were just dead in the first quarter of those other games. And how about Ed Davis starting

1:18.3

at center for the Timberwolves? What a weird year. Tonight we're going to get into some observations

1:24.4

from that Wolves Nuggets game because there was actual basketball.

One of those observations will be that the wolves did start at Davis at center and that they kind of sort of found a way to not totally get beaten inside tonight, which is certainly a progression

Russell pick and roll game and how that led to what was probably Deelow's best game of the year.

1:51.2

I mean, admittedly, it's been a pretty shoddy season thus far for Deelow, but still, that also, you know, came in, you know, the shadow of Delo not playing at all alongside
