The Wolves go 1–2 in a weird holiday week: a solid win over the shorthanded Knicks, an OT Christmas thriller loss to Denver, then a total letdown vs the Nets. We talk about the Ant ejection, his unreal corner 3 to force OT, and why you never want refs deciding the ending of a game that good.

We also hit the stuff that’s starting to feel like a pattern: free throws (25th in the league), getting wrecked in the paint by a team that shouldn’t do that to you, and the clunky fit of the Nas + Julius minutes. Plus: Rudy’s on/off splits vs Denver (+18 with Rudy, -22 without), whether the Wolves need a real backup big, and why the trade machine is firing up again.

Then we run the Christmas Day slate (Knicks/Cavs, Spurs/Thunder, Warriors/Mavs, Rockets/Lakers) and get into Howl or Foul, including one take we both agree on: the Wizards are brutal to watch.

The Timberwolves took us on a full emotional roller coaster this week. A frustrating loss to the lowly Grizzlies, followed by a statement win against the best team in the West in OKC, and then a gritty, not-pretty win over an unimpressive Bucks team. Plus, Tom gets to defend Mike Conley.

We break down what the OKC game tells us about this team’s ceiling, why playing down to competition is still a real concern, and how to think about progress when the vibes swing wildly but the wins keep stacking. AND KG IS BACK! Go Wolves.

In our first official episode, we review a weird, mostly fun, and inconsistent week for the Minnesota Timberwolves. We break down the Wolves’ wins and losses against the Clippers, Suns, Warriors, and Kings, digging into lineup data, shooting struggles, key performances, and what it all means for Minnesota going forward.
