On today's show, Dane is joined by Wolves beat writer Jace Frederick from the Pioneer Press to discuss how many teams the Wolves are better than in the West. Dane and Jace do this by going through the West to list what teams they think would beat the Wolves in a playoff series. Then they look at the question another way by listing the teams in the West that they think will have a better record than the Wolves for the rest of the season. Also some more conversation about the Dallas matchup and a look ahead to the Orlando and Boston matchups.
