Topic One: Wolves Start Season with a Bang
We'll talk about the buzzer-beater victory on opening night, the line-up changes that could have affected the recent loss to Phoenix, and Big Al's lower than usual point totals in the first games of the season.

Topic Two: Early Thoughts
Who are the top teams to be watching this year? Although only a few games into the season, let's take a look at Boston, Denver, and Orlando with perfect records, as well as the top-rated Lakers who are 2-1.

Topic Three: Rondo Signs Extension
Boston's Rajon Rondo recently signed a five-year contract for $55 million. At only 23 years old, why did Rondo hold out for this long on signing an extension with a top team and risk becoming a restricted free agent?

Topic Four: Top Rookies?
Looking at the first few games of the 2009-2010 season, which rookies have really left fans impressed? We'll take a look at candidates Jonny Flynn, Brandon Jennings, Stephen Curry, and Tyreke Evans.

Topic Five: Ginobli -- Slaps Bat on Halloween
