The Minnesota Timberwolves made the splash some of us wanted, but did they give up too much? Rudy Gobert is headed to Minnesota for four players and four first round picks. The Wolves draft certainly looks different now, as we talk about it in this episode, along with a few veteran additions and your thoughts!

The Minnesota Timberwolves were able to snag Denver Nuggets President of Basketball of Operations Tim Connelly away with a big raise to take over in the same capacity. Can Connelly do what no POBO has truly done before, and take this team to the next plateau?

Karl Anthony Towns has responded incredibly in games four and five, but it will take more for this team to overcome a 3-2 deficit to ultimately defeat these talented but annoying Memphis Grizzlies in seven games. Another player needs to step up when needed most.

Oh the roller coaster of emotions! We should be used to it here in Minnesota. Things look so good one day, and then two huge steps back, including a historic 26 point collapse at home vs the Memphis Grizzlies in front of a loyal fan base. Karl Anthony Towns looks less and less the part, as the moment has been too big for him in multiple occasions just the last two weeks.

Vig It App Referral: Paladinolive The Minnesota Timberwolves survived a tough battle with the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night, despite Karl Anthony Towns having his worst game in a very long time. Anthony Edwards looks more and more like a franchise player, stepping up when the lights are brightest. The Memphis Grizzlies should make a very fun and long series between these two elite offenses coming up.

Not a great week for the Minnesota Timberwolves. After a solid win vs Dallas, the local club struggled mightily in Boston and Toronto, with turnovers and the overall defense reverted back to where it was earlier in the season. D'Angelo Russell sited "Lack Of Confidence" as the reason for his very poor play of late, drawing the ire of Timberwolves faithful.

If the Timberwolves are going to climb out of the play-in games, they will have to earn it against tough opponents, as we saw last week. Better execution down the stretch is needed, as layups have no business being missed at the rate they have been.

Karl Anthony Towns did something new Timberwolf has ever done: score 60 points in a game. Towns utilized his true strength, driving to the basket over and over and over again. The Wolves also crushed the LA Lakers yet again, and resorted to trolling Russell Westbrook.

Only one game to review here, but what a fun game it ended up being vs the vaunted Memphis Grizzlies! Ja Morant was asked if there is a budding rivalry between the teams, and he gave a somewhat answer. Regardless if there is a rivalry or not, this has become a very fun match up that could last many years.

The Minnesota Timberwolves continue to take care of business, despite Anthony Edwards not playing up to par of late.

Another strong week for the Timberwolves, going 3-1, and even in the loss, they hung in close the whole game in Phoenix. Taurean Prince really showed up to play this week, shooting upwards of 70 percent from beyond the arc, and helped prevent the Wolves from an embarrassing loss in Detroit.

What was a very nice week ended with a thud in Atlanta, where a lot of immature tendencies came back to the surface, seeing Ant get ejected, and Karl's endless scuffles with officials. Despite all of this, there is a silver lining, someone once unexpected has emerged as a true leader.

it was an okay week that started strong until the Pelicans hit nine straight three pointers to beat the Timberwolves in New Orleans. Anthony Edwards' shooting has been on a significant up trend for the past few months, and it's really showing in 2022!
