Kevin O'Connor is joined by Dane Moore, host of the Dane Moore NBA Show, to dig into the Timberwolves' complicated point guard situation and the team's shifting identity in a stacked Western Conference. Recorded before the news of Anthony Edwards' hamstring injury, Kevin & Dane react to his evolving role as a potential lead guard with Julius Randle acting as an offensive hub. Plus, why is Minnesota’s defensive rating sliding in non-Gobert minutes?
The pair also react to the Lakers stellar start to the season, powered by outstanding performances from Luka Doncic, Deandre Ayton & Austin Reaves. Elsewhere in the NBA, the Pacers deal with an overwhelming amount of injuries as they start the season 0-3 and the Trail Blazers step up their full-court press.
