Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Jace Frederick of the Pioneer Press to put together a list of things we didn’t expect coming into the season. In other words, what has played out in the first 34 games that we did not have on our 2022-23 bingo cards entering the season. Some of the answers include... — Rudy Gobert’s most natural individual fit in the starting lineup being Karl-Anthony Towns — Naz Reid’s game elevating to another level when it was unclear whether or not he would even be in the rotation — Anthony Edwards showing the ability to initiate the Wolves offense at a high level as the point guard — How infrequent pick and roll has been for this team — Austin Rivers being this impactful — The defensive rebounding being worse than last season 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.

0:00.0	This is the name more NBA podcast, brought to you by Blue Wire podcast coming at your Wednesday morning.
0:19.6	It's December 28th. And on today's show before
0:23.5	the wolves play the Pelicans in New Orleans on Wednesday night, we're going to go a little
0:28.1	bigger picture for this episode. Honestly, I just don't want to talk about that Miami lost
0:34.4	any more. That was not a fun or interesting game.
0:37.8	So the plan today is to discuss just things we didn't expect coming into this season,
0:43.9	kind of what has played out over the past two and a half months that was not on our like preseason bingo card.
0:50.9	It can be good things, can be bad things, just so long as they are things we didn't
0:55.2	expect entering the season to do that. I have Jace Frederick from the Pioneer Press joining me.
1:01.0	I've tasked Jace with putting together a list of like four or five things that he didn't expect
1:07.1	going into the season. Jace, ready to do this? I'm ready. I've got five in the holster.
1:12.3	Ready to see how many we copied each other on. I know. I know. Well, our prize picks,
1:16.4	which we'll be getting too early plugged there. We've been copied each other on those a lot recently.
1:20.1	We'll see. I bet you we'll have some overlap here. The overlap is never right either. It's like, oh, that one's... So if we overlap on one, I'm like, well, that one's wrong.
1:27.7	Yeah, yeah, right.
1:29.7	You want to go first? You want me to go first?
1:31.9	You go ahead. Kick it off.
1:34.8	I think, like, I was making this list, and then I, like, just put them a random order, and I was
1:40.7	like, okay, what one did I expect the least? And I think it's that I did not expect Rudy Gobert's, like, most natural individual fit
1:50.6	with one player to be with Carl Anthony Tats.
1:53.9	And I'm by no means, like saying that has been perfect.
1:57.7	But I think as we've spent, you know, now almost 15 games without Cat and
