Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Wolves beat writer Jace Frederick of the St. Paul Pioneer Press to discuss watching the NBA playoffs through a Wolves lens. Dane and Jace discuss continuing to watch these NBA playoffs with an eye on what is proving to work and not work in the later rounds of the playoffs and asking themselves how far the Wolves are from being able to execute those elements of playoff-level basketball. Dane and Jace also discuss the success old friends Tyus Jones and Andrew Wiggins had or are having in a playoff environment. And finally they talk about the Kristaps Porzingis for Spencer Dinwiddie and Davis Bertans trade — how that’s help drive the Mavericks to the conference finals and how a similar style of trade could be a path the Wolves could take should they choose to move off of D’Angelo Russell’s max contract.

0:39.8	have been pretty dialed into these playoffs since the wolves were eliminated. What was that,
0:45.5	like two weeks ago? I know you like me to some extent kind of have wolves brain where we're
0:54.0	watching these games and trying to enjoy the game or
0:57.9	analyze the game or whatever ourselves. But at least for me, I can't help but kind of watch
1:03.6	these playoffs like this and not think about it sort of through a wolf's lens. So I asked if
1:09.8	you wanted to talk about this today.
1:11.3	Do you have a similar affliction or is it just just Tyos Jones brain for you?
1:18.3	No, I mean, I think so.
1:19.5	I think I see like every year, I think even like coaches and front office members watch
1:24.9	the playoffs and think like every year about what works,
1:28.0	what doesn't, which way is the league trending towards like what's most valuable in the NBA
1:32.2	right now. And I don't think you can think about that as you watch these teams and not think
1:36.0	about, okay, how does that apply to the team I cover or from their perspective, the team I work
1:40.7	for those types of things. Like it's only natural to compare what I'm seeing now to what I saw, you know,
