GAME NIGHT: Chris Finch Revealed the REAL Problem with the Minnesota Timberwolves Before LaMelo Ball

Nick Angstadt & Andy Kamenetzky break down Chris Finch saying the Minnesota Timberwolves “traded moodiness for giddiness.” They debate whether that line is a shot at Julius Randle and Naz Reid, and whether LaMelo Ball’s joy will hold up once the losses come. The hosts question whether the Utah Jazz’s new core of Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., Darryn Peterson and Keyonte George can actually learn how to win. Rylan Stiles reports on Thunder rookies Bennett Stirtz and Aday Mara, and Nick walks through the wild, lost-shoe finish to Thunder vs Hawks. Andy explains the politics of the Portland Trail Blazers backcourt with Damian Lillard, Ja Morant and Jrue Holiday. Eric Slater and Ben Strober recap Nets vs Wizards, including Michael Porter Jr.’s big night, Bilal Coulibaly’s new jumper and Trae Young’s turnovers. The episode closes with Count It Up, covering Jalen Brunson’s STEM flop call, AJ Dybantsa’s Locked On fandom, and the NBA’s longest-tenured coaches. 0:00 Timberwolves vs Knicks 11:59 Spurs vs Jazz 14:28 Thunder vs Hawks 18:59 Blazers vs London Lions 22:39 Nets vs Wizards Follow Your Team Every Day 📲 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba/ Locked On NBA League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-nba/ 📸 PHOTO: IMAGN-Images 📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! | Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers Square Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/NBA ! #squarepod KALSHI Today's episode is brought to you by Kalshi.
