On today’s episode, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun talk about the Wolves losing both games of their two-game Eastern Conference road trip
On today’s episode of Two Words: Wolves Pod, Ryan Eichten and Leo Sun discuss the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 0-2 Eastern Conference road trip against the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics.
— What needs to change after the Wolves lost another game to a bad Raptors team?
— The entire Timberwolves roster must self-reflect on why these low-effort performances keep happening.
— Julius Randle didn’t pass Rudy Gobert the ball. Who was to blame for this situation and what can they do to prevent it from happening again?
— Anthony Edwards again mentioned effort was an issue in the game against the Raptors, but was better against the Celtics. Edwards will likely be the one to set the example and break the cycle of poor Timberwolves performances.
— Wolves have a solid performance against the Celtics, losing by only two points. Was it a “moral victory” or is there no such thing?
— Rob Dillingham had the best game of his young career, scoring 16 points on 6-10 shooting. Does he become a part of the normal rotation even when Mike Conley comes back?
— Naz Reid has been struggling the past two games, making only three of his past 17 shots. The defensive side of the ball continues to be an issue with Gobert off the floor as the Wolves continue to search for an answer at backup center
— The Wolves are 8-8 to start the season. Is it time to re-evaluate the team’s ceiling as a championship contender?
— How did Taylor Swift make an impact on how the team was covered in Toronto?
— Jaden McDaniels is one of the few Wolves players playing well as he had another big dunk late in the game, this time against Al Horford.
— The Wolves return home for a four-game homestand, their longest of the season so far. It should be a good opportunity to grab some wins and enjoy Thanksgiving.
