Description
On today’s show, Dane is joined by Matt Moore of The Action Network to discuss where the Timberwolves stand entering the All Star break. We have a conversation about why Matt was bullish on the Wolves this season dating back to the summer. And then Matt is based in Denver, having seen the Nuggets defensive progression first-hand, we discuss how switching defensive schemes to playing Nikola Jokic at the level has made all the difference for them — and also led to annual fatigue-fueled drop-offs in the defense (similar to the Wolves current defensive swoon).
— Why the Wolves over (34.5 wins) was a smart bet going back to the summer
— How the Wolves have switched defensive schemes with KAT this season, similar to the shift the Nuggets made with Jokic a few years back
— The need for a diversity of defensive coverages come playoffs
— Will the Wolves defense bounce back?
— Will the Wolves finish ahead of Dallas and/or Denver in the Western Conference by season’s end?
— Do we think KAT will make All-NBA this season (making him eligible to sign a 4-year $200M extension this summer)?
