Dunks After Dusk

The Wolves coast for three quarters on the defensive end before putting the clamps down and beating the least talented team in the NBA. Offensively, all the main rotation pieces from last season had their moments and in the end, even a C+ game is enough to blow out a bad team.

Mitch's son Avery joins to help recap the Timberwolves 122-105 victory. Rudy was dominant, Naz-Dilly-Clark were great off the bench, and it was really nice to not have to sweat out a game against a less talented team.

Mitch returns offers his persepctive on the early season struggles without Anthony Edwards in the lineup. 8 minutes of high IQ basketball will not do it most nights and Austin Reaves gave them the fate that they deserved.

The paramour of the pod, Brianna, returns to offer her first ever regular season award takes. Players are compared to trees and insects, promotions are given, and a new nickname is bestowed upon our most frequent guest.

Sometimes you play a team and their generational superstar decides to have an "A+" game and your chances of winning quickly diminish. Luka Doncic was unstoppable tonight and his offensive game broke the spirit of the Timberwolves.

The Wolves are back and Wednesday night was a perfect reminder for all of us why we'll stay up past midnight watching games.

The Wolves faces a Blazers team that was intent on being physical, running in transition, and putting all kinds of pressure on any player handling the ball. In the end, the difference in the game was stated perfectly by Joe Ingles: The Wolves had the best player.

Part 2 is here and if you can believe it, it's even better than the first! DiVincenzo, Conley, TJ, Clark, Dilly and Beringer stats and takes? Final Western Conference predictions?! In this economy?!

Part 1 of our 2025-2026 Minnesota Timberwolves preview - full of player stats and expectations, Vegas bets, and the potential innebriation level needed to make said bet.

Also Mitch continues to gush about his love of the preseason.

Yes, we did it. We gave some game awards for a preseason game... we also have to warm up for our season!

And much like the Wolves, an overall successful night talking about the starters, PG intrique, Beringer's NBA preseason debut and much more!

Time to see if the bench unit fares better with some of the rolls. And it is quite possible that in our fictional reality, a certain star player may have gotten a second opinion and another roll of the dice!
