How the Lillard-Nurkic pick and roll led to 47-point second quarter. Why the defensive scheme has changed. My assessment of Ryan Saunders' coaching thus far this season. Submit your Blue Wire Hustle

D'Angelo Russell said after the Timberwolves fourth consecutive loss on Sunday to the Denver Nuggets that he doesn't think the Wolves are "ready to win yet" because they are "still figuring out how to lose". On today's pod, we playback Russell's postgame comments and talk about how this team does not look ready to win yet.

The Dane Moore NBA Podcast ·

2020/12/31

On today's pod, Britt Robson (The Athletic) joins to discuss why what Karl-Anthony Towns showed in the first two games is more reason for optimism than the two blowout losses in Los Angeles are reason for pessimism. We unpack Britt's most recent column that acknowledges the devastating, albeit expected, losses but also praises KAT's best defense of his career and Ryan Saunders' ability to expand his coaching blueprint. From there, we get into what the complicated plan might be in this KAT-less

The Dane Moore NBA Podcast ·

2020/12/30

Losing two games the way the Timberwolves lost to the Lakers and Clippers is a slippery slope. Today we discuss the Wolves needing to inject joy back into basketball, even without KAT. On the show: we react to Ricky Rubio's harsh postgame commentary (audio included); discuss the Rubio-DLo pairing; what is going on in the frontcourt next to Naz Reid; why righting the ship is big-picture important; and trying to find ways to survive on defense.

What Happened To KAT's Wrist?, Is It Time To Start...

The Dane Moore NBA Podcast ·

2020/12/28

In the 15-game stretch the Timberwolves played without Karl-Anthony Towns at the beginning of last season, they ranked third in the NBA over that stretch in defensive efficiency. They only won five of those 15 games, but they played with the identity of a team that executes on defense. On today's pod, I talk about this new Timberwolves roster finding their new KAT-less identity. Plus, we talk other observations from the loss: D'Angelo Russell not taking the lead in KAT's absence, and why that will

The Timberwolves enter the Christmas Break undefeated with a win over the Pistons. Good audio quotes from the players postgame, so I let that carry today's show -- beginning with KAT discussing where he's at mentally. From there we get into Anthony Edwards looking NBA ready. We talk Josh Okogie being the team's best power forward, shutting down Blake Griffin. Some commentary on the defense (zone!).

There had to be some reason the Timberwolves waived Rondae Hollis-Jefferson. Right? Jack Borman (Canis Hoopus) joins the pod to discuss the value of the financial flexibility gained by waiving RHJ and weigh it against the value that will be lost on the floor. What does this mean in terms of a potential PJ Tucker trade? Dane and Jack also watched the Detroit Pistons final preseason game in advance of the Wolves season opener against the Pistons.

2020/12/18

Karl-Anthony Towns gave my favorite postgame interview of his career after the Timberwolves beat the Mavs in the preseason finale. For so long, KAT has noted how the Wolves as a team need to improve defensively, but this was the first time he spoke honestly about his defensive shortcomings. I thought those words were noteworthy, so I play the audio from that interview on the pod and share we I think those words carry weight. Then we get into observations from the game. Anthony Edwards starting to

Jack Borman (Canis Hoopus) joins to discuss where the Timberwolves will rank this season in terms of offensive rating and defensive rating. Outside of last season, the Timberwolves have been in the top-half of the league in offensive rating every year of KAT's career. How high can the presences DLo, Rubio and Beasley elevate the offense this season. And defensively, the Timberwolves have been bottom-ten of the league in terms of defensive efficiency every season of KAT's career. Where does this

2020/12/15

After watching Ja Morant explode against the Timberwolves in these first two preseason games, it's worth asking how Morant ranks in the league's hierarchy compared to Karl-Anthony Towns. Dane makes the case for why KAT is more likely to have a better 2020-21 season but also why it's closer between the two when we consider the long-term. Additionally, Dane digs into four more observations from the Timberwolves second preseason game. Including: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson's case for cracking the

From there, we get into five observations from the opener. 1) Jake Layman starting and producing at power forward. 2) What we saw from the Rubio-DLo backcourt pairing. 3) Jarrett Culver looking great defensively. 4) Just getting the chance to see KAT play. 5) How Jaylen Nowell appears to be the

Who are the Timberwolves Bigs?

The Dane Moore NBA Podcast ·

2020/12/08

On today's episode, we dive into the Timberwolves big man position(s). For a team that needs to improve defensively in the frontcourt, Gersson Rosas has chosen a non-traditional path in two consecutive offseasons. The power forward position has been an interesting data point to track as Rosas has reshaped the roster -- and will remain fascinating this season. Who does Ryan Saunders decide to give those big man minutes to? Is 6'4" Josh Okogie in the mix? Who else is a power forward? Who is
