On today's show, Dane is joined by Wolves beat writer Jace Frederick from the St. Paul Pioneer Press to get into initial thoughts on the Wolves-Lakers first round playoff matchup. A lot of this episode starts trying to understand the puzzle of the series by looking at matchups and who will be guarding who -- obviously very important details in a series that features Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic. Specific topics and timestamps below...

- How might matchups work in this series? Who guards Ant/Luka? (5:00)

- How will Finch handle Conley in a series where the opponent does not play small guards? (27:00)

- How Randle and James factor into this series + The Wolves needing to put Randle in advantage situations (41:00)

- How is this Wolves playoff team different than last season's Wolves playoff team? (50:00)
