Summary

On today’s show, we discuss the Timberwolves drubbing of the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, potentially the final game that the Wolves will play with players missing time due to COVID protocols. So we discuss what new variables have presented themselves while not playing at full strength, and how those pieces might fit into the Wolves rotation once Karl-Anthony Towns and D’Angelo Russell return. — Who should be in the 10-man rotation once KAT + DLo return? — How Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid, Jaylen Nowell and Jaden McDaniels have all shown something more these past few weeks — Patrick Beverley feeling under appreciated while he was with the Clippers, and how he has successfully added playmaking to his bag since coming to the Timberwolves — Naz Reid as a high volume pick and roll player — A winnable upcoming stretch against Oklahom City (twice), Houston and New Orleans Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	This is the daymoren'clock.
0:13.7	This is the Damon-R-N-B-A podcast, brought you by Blue Wire Podcasts.

0:47.6	for this Wolves team that is kind of finally coming into the end
