Welcome to another episode of The Old Man and The Three Things. Steve Jones Jr. and Nekias Duncan of The Dunker Spot return this week to break down Anthony Edwards and Minnesota Timberwolves having the best defense in the league and what they still need to figure out in the Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert, the vibe shift with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey and the Philadelphia 76ers since the start of the season, and what the Paolo Banchero and The Orlando Magic can build on from the start of their season.

Anthony Jeffrey Jordan
Just a matter of time before Edwards leaves the wolves…. Happens to every single star in the NBA int he last two decades, minus a very, very few exceptions… But most stars leave at some point eventually, usually in their prime too!…just a matter of time….
Think of the haul the wolves will get back too! They'll make up finally for the Rudy trade eventually, probably getting more of an overhaul as well if they can deal edwards in the next few years ….
Everyone here in Lawrence wishing Kelly well right now. Once a Jayhawk, always a Jayhawk
Feels great watching Ant man play at such an elite level. Seen his potential while he was a kid. He played on the same aau football (not even basketball) team as my lil brother. Then watched him in highschool as a fellow Atlanta native. Knew he was coming. Folks thought I was crazy.
Wolves need to trade Edwards now for the overhaul while KAT and Rudy are still in their prime and can win.
Shout-out to Ime Udoka. Proving himself a damn good coach so far.
Houston is the best example of having talent no coaching to having competent coaching is palpable.
Timberwolves prove that Rudy Gobert is still the biggest influence on the defensive end in the league. No coincidence Utah was a top 5 defense every year once he was starting.
Lol that Chris Webber quite got me ๐
Great when Timmy isnโt present.
How about the Sixers having 23 O boards last night!
JJ…80% of embiid's assists are from DHO(should not count as assist)…he still can't really pass…
Its only game 10, calm down people!
Lauri for KAT
I may be nuts, but CP3 is eactly what Pheonix is missing, playmaking?
Thanks for talking magic boys
This year, I've been following Boston, Memphis, Houston & Portland so that I could keep tabs on my Celtics currents & formers. I called that Houston would be someone to reckon with & I'm glad to see it manifesting. As a Boston resident/fan through & through, I've been saying that Minnesota is proving to be one of the SCARIEST groups out there this year. It's gonna be a fun season for sure
Appreciate the Magic segment yโall ๐
