Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Timberwolves beat writer Jace Frederick of the Pioneer Press to take a look at how the Wolves’ (difficult) schedule the rest of the way could tie into the trade deadline. Dane and Jace also take a look at the upcoming schedule against teams who could very well be their first round playoff opponent, and discuss which team the Wolves might matchup best against. — Vegas says the Wolves will finish with 38 or 39 wins. Why is that? — Wolves play 17 of their final 26 games on the road — The machinations of a potential Naz Reid trade. Who else on the Wolves might be involved in that type of move? — Who would be the Wolves’ ideal first round matchup between Memphis, New Orleans, Sacramento and Denver? — What did we learn defensively in the Houston loss?
