0:00.0	This is the dayn'clock.
0:13.9	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast.
0:16.8	We are brought to you by prize picks coming at you Wednesday morning.
0:20.0	It's February 5th, which means as we record this, we're a little over 24 hours out from the NBA trade deadline,
0:27.4	which I think for the Wolves is coming at kind of a unique time within the arc of their season.
0:33.3	It's coming after home losses to the Wizards and Kings in the last few days.
0:37.8	A loss to a Kings team that had just treaded Deerun Fox the day before and a loss to the Wizards team that's just terrible.
0:44.8	But also losses that came when the wolves were injured.
0:49.1	They were missing Anthony Edwards, Nasreid, Julius Randall, and Dante Divencenzo against the Wizards.
0:55.4	And then Edwards and Reed returned for the Kings game, but they were still lacking some of that juice that obviously Devencenzel and Randall bring.

1:31.6	The losses were very sobering to me.
1:34.0	I mean, it did make a fairly significant dent, in my opinion, of the team, because this was adversity.
1:43.6	This was a spot of adversity, and it wasn't like they were playing teams that they
1:50.7	can't beat, even shorthanded.
1:54.0	And once again, we'll get into this later, I'm sure, but they had opportunities to win in, they became clutch games.
2:04.3	They became games that were in five points of each other in the last five minutes of the
2:08.2	game, and they lost them both. That's their 18th, 17th and 18th clutch losses of the season.
