Magic make Lakers streak disappear | Are the Timberwolves in trouble?

I think that they've got to figure out what is their best five-man lineup that gives us the best chance to compete for the majority of the game and go with that every night. And maybe some nights it's not going to be Julius Randle. Agreed. And in this game, you know, I want to go back to the Gobert thing because, you know, there is some chemistry stuff there as well, right? Like...

there was another play where, you know, Rudy's running the floor with Randall and Randall just fires him a pass and it's kind of low and Rudy struggles with low passes, which is probably why, like you said, probably why Randall didn't make that first pass in the first place. But that is just not constructive for a team that needs more reps to get good chemistry. Like, and I get it. I, I,

Being a human being, I understand being frustrated with the guys that you're running on the court with. It makes sense, but it's just going to get late really early in the West, and they already don't look like a home court advantage team to me.

Magic make Lakers streak disappear | Are the Timberwolves in trouble?

They're not where they were last year. And I mean, we all know that. And I don't think anyone expected that right away. I just expected this to not take as long to look better than it is. And, you know, again, I think there's probably some lineup stuff that's going to happen. DiVincenzo is coming around.

Yeah, and his spacing is probably more valuable with that starting unit than Randall's playmaking. So, you know, maybe they figured that out. I'm not sure. Zena, we got some news, a little bit of news to go over. The NBA is apparently in serious discussions once again to change the format to a four team tournament format for the NBA All-Star game. And that's for this coming NBA All-Star game.

Essentially, they would play two semifinal games with two teams or with four teams up to 40 points. So first team to 40 wins. So like pickup style rules, championship game would be to 25. Now, Zena, this is yet another, I don't know, venture to try to fix something that is permanently broken because all-star games in and of themselves, they have no drama because they don't mean anything.

And so until we get something that is either so incredibly fun that the players really want to participate or it's so incredibly meaningful that it probably is too much for an all-star game. I just don't think there's a fix. And what it really is is that the NBA doesn't have a Super Bowl. They don't have this huge tentpole event that everyone's waiting for, and they really want that.
