Go stand at half court because it's good for us to play four on four, but it's better for the patient to play four on four when Andrew Nembhard's available or when TJ McConnell's out on the floor.

Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for November 22nd, 2024 coming up. We've got new all-star format coming and we're going to get into that. We've got Minnesota losing a game that they absolutely should not. We're going to get into what's bothering them. Yovan Buha stops by to talk about the Lakers right after they lose to the Magic because the NBA Daily curse is real, folks.

Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Zena. Not a great morning for the Minnesota Timberwolves, though. They dropped a game last night that they definitely should have won. The Toronto Raptors are not a good basketball team. I'm not sure if they're a tanking team necessarily, but they are in the tank race for sure. And the Raptors won the game 110-105.

It was pretty close, but this is the sort of game, Zena, that a team with the expectations of the Minnesota Timberwolves, even with the entire trade happening right before the season started. This is just not the sort of game you expect them to lose. And yet, here we are, 15 games into the season, and this is exactly the sort of game that they keep losing week in, week out.

Yeah. And, you know, we can't blame Mike Conley for this one. Right. He was out in this game. Right. So they started Nikhil Alexander Walker, which I actually think it might be a direction that they wind up needing to go. We've talked about that a couple of times this season. I mean, Mike Conley, older player, smaller guy gets picked on quite a bit defensively.

I think the thing for the Wolves that is missing from last year is the elite defense that they used to be able to rely on so that when the offense would stagnate, they at least were able to get stops at the other end, get, you know, they were just dogs as far as rebounds go. And, you know, their playoff run really, they got hot shooting the basketball. They had this elite defense though.

And so now like we're looking at a team that already kind of struggled offensively trying to fit in to whatever this new identity is. And it's clear that there's a lot of issues. And, you know, I'm at the point where, you know, a lot of people look at Julius Randle's stat line and they think he had a good game. But I just can't do that anymore because I watch the defensive end, too.
