Summary

On today’s show, Dane is joined by Chris Hine of the Star Tribune to discuss the Wolves win over the Lakers on Friday and the loss to the Spurs on Sunday night. Dane and Chris get into what early trends of the season are starting to solidify — from the Naz Reid unit consistently cooking to the defensive issues on the perimeter and on the glass remaining persistent. Topics today include... — The first unit struggling to maintain a flow throughout the course of an entire game — A lack of defensive physicality leading to half-measure, like zone and switching, becoming a staple of the Wolves early season defense — What drove KAT’s first big offensive performance — Similarities and differences between this season and when the Wolves started 4-9 a season ago — Finch feeling an over-reliance on pick and roll, even though the Wolves have not been a high volume pick and roll team thus far — Will the Wolves “play up to the competition” this week against the Suns and the Bucks?

0:00.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought you by Blue Wire podcast coming at you Monday morning October 31st.
0:21.1	Wolves beat writer from the Star Trek Chris Hine, joins me here every Monday.
0:25.7	We'll be doing that all season.
0:28.0	We've got Chris here today to talk about sort of what went down in Wolves World this weekend.
0:32.7	They could beat the Lakers on Friday night, which I need to remind myself of, uh, not, and not just exclusively think of that Sunday night performance against the
0:42.5	spurs. Uh, Chris, I, I don't know, let's just start with, I kind of felt like this weekend was a
0:47.9	pretty good encapsulation of where this world's team is at right now, you know, more than enough

1:32.7	And I think both, if you kind of sum up both of these games that we saw, that's kind of it.
1:38.5	You know, they had just enough to get by the Lakers.
1:42.5	You know, Rudy Gobert makes a couple of plays down the stretch.
1:45.2	Carl hits, Carl hit some shots in the fourth quarter of that game.
