- What Boston has been able to do against Dallas that the Wolves were not able to execute
- Do the Wolves have the personnel to be able to use Boston as a blueprint?
- Porzingis being a matchup nightmare at the 5 in ways KAT couldn't be at the 4
- Do the Wolves play a 5-out and switch style once Edwards, McDaniels and Reid reach their primes?
There's something in there for everyone, things we could have done differently, things we couldn't have done differently, roster construction, Rudy believers, Rudy doubters, the future, etc. Probably my favorite podcast in a while.

I’d like to add this video to the discussion: [https://x.com/Sam_Vecenie/status/1801113107621908680](https://x.com/Sam_Vecenie/status/1801113107621908680)
Sam Vecenie and Jason Timpf both agreed that the two takeaways from the Boston’s championship run seems to be:
1. 5-out is an incredibly resilient offense.
2. Ground coverage on defense – Vecenie cites Minnesota as an example of a team that does this well.
What was their answer to the second question?
Thought Brit’s observation using Rudy more on the short roll, as a facsimile, albeit a poor one, for five-out/drive and kick was interesting.
Brit isn’t suggesting Rudy become some playmaker. Rudy doesn’t need to be Draymond or anyone elite playing 4 on 3, just vanilla kicks to the opposite wing. You relatively get a paint touch through Gobert’s roll and then you’re performing a ball reversal. Get the defense to bend with a non-shooter on the floor.
