In the new best game of the season (a lot of those lately!) the Minnesota Timberwolves soundly defeat the best team in the league on their home floor. While the night was led by Naz, Ant and Jaden, the most encouraging aspect of the game is how the rest of the young pups each contributed to winning.

31-25 at the All-Star Break.

The Wolves played their last game of a 5-game homestand short-handed against the red hot blazers, and find a way to pull off a heck of a victory. Jaden and Naz were awesome all game and every single other member of the team that saw that floor had big moments to drive the team towards the win.

30-23. Got some hard ones coming up!

One of the more fun games of the year - just stop reading this and give the episode a listen!

The Wolves drop back-to-back games at home in a must-win stretch of the season. Injuries and sickness are big reasons why, but every team in the NBA goes through it.

With the trade deadline looming Thursday, Pat takes some time to look at the Wolves roster and create five tiers of players, ranging from untouchable, to "please take him I beg you".

A blowout against a bad team that turned out just to be... incredibly fun. The young guys on the bench all had their moments in the game led by Dillingham, Clark, and Luka Garza. Wolves easily best the hapless Jazz on their way to a five game win streak and 27-21 record.

Phrasing? Well, what a fun win for the Wolves! They go into Phoenix short-handed and get contributions from up and down the roster - led by a monster effort from Anthony Edwards.

NAW, Randle, McDaniels and Jaylen Clark(!!) each with fantastic games.

The Wolves did in fact play a game tonight...

More interestingly, we spend about 25 minutes on the pod discussing the two paths that the Wolves could take at the trade deadline involving Julius Randle. While keeping Randle is a much riskier idea, there is an arguement to be made for his development this season still leaving this team with an untapped ceiling.

The Timberwolves play their most complete game of the season, highlighted by an All-NBA Rudy Gobert effort and a patient Anthony Edwards. 24-21, 7th in the West, and a building block type win that should give every one a little hit of optimism.

The Timberwolves play lose a close one against Memphis and win a close one against the Mavs. The team as a whole is so consistently inconsistent that every game is going to the clutch and every night different plays are heroes and different players have their talents stolen from the Monstars. 23-21, 8th in the West.

The Timberwolves go 1-1 in a very hard road and home back to back agains the Knicks and the Cavs. The Knicks game was one of the best team efforts of the season, while the Cavs game was an admirable effort against the league's current best. But taken in tandem with the loss to the Warriors on Wednesday, the 22-20 Timberwolves team is really about the eye of the beholder. You can be optimistic or pessimistic depending on how much you squint.
