T-Wolves PG problems, rise of the full court press + more NBA week 1 reactions with Dane Moore

The Kevin O'Connor Show

Kevin O'Connor is joined by Dane Moore, host of the Dane Moore NBA Show, to dig into the Timberwolves' complicated point guard situation and the team's shifting identity in a stacked Western Conference. Recorded before the news of Anthony Edwards' hamstring injury, Kevin & Dane react to his evolving role as a potential lead guard with Julius Randle acting as an offensive hub. Plus, why is Minnesota’s defensive rating sliding in non-Gobert minutes?

The pair also react to the Lakers stellar start to the season, powered by outstanding performances from Luka Doncic, Deandre Ayton & Austin Reaves. Elsewhere in the NBA, the Pacers deal with an overwhelming amount of injuries as they start the season 0-3 and the Trail Blazers step up their full-court press.
