Dunks After Dusk

And so season 3 begins!

Mitch and Pat are back with a unique kind of preview - one held under the rules of chance. They talk about each player's range of outcomes in the season (best, worst and most likely scenario), and then allow the role of the dice to dictate where the Timberwolves season goes.

With it being the dead time for Timberwolves news/updates, Brianna and Patrick decide to talk about their favorite show of the year: Andor.

There is both a non-spoiler and spoiler section announced in the podcast, so if you haven't seen it, feel free to just listen to the pitch for why you should go watch it, and finish the rest of the episode another time!

Dunks After Dusk is honored by the presence of Brianna to fill in for Mitch and wrap-up (most likely) the Timberwolves summer league.

As is par for the course with a Brianna episode, it ended up being one of the most heavily edited episodes of the year. Enjoy!

Mitch and Pat are back to talk about some summer league basketball where they remain calm about every player and their positive or negative showings.

Pat does a solo-pod to wrap up the draft by going into expert opinions on Beringer and offering a brief glimpse at Zikarski.

After some finals and KD talk, Pat presents his Timberwolves draft guide to Mitch (25:00) as they go through some of the different options available to the Wolves at 17. Who fits well? What's the latest buzz about who is rising and falling? And what would we do if we were GM?

Mitch and Pat have an accountability session on their preseason predictions and then bid farewell to the 24-25 season by paying tribute to each of the players and Chris Finch.

As we head into the offseason, Pat has three early offseason questions that he needs to bounce off someone:

Who should the Wolves marry, date or break up with in regards to their 3 free agents?

Can Rob Dillingham be the PG longterm next to Ant?

Does this team currently have a player on it that can be the 2nd best player on a championship roster?

The Wolves get blown out in OKC leading to the end of the 2024-2025 run. While Mitch and Pat spend the first part of the podcast talking about the game, the majority is spent talking about the Wolves team and what it might take for them to take the next step as a contender.

In what was a really good playoff games, the stars for the Thunder were near perfect while the stars for the Wolves were anything but. What kept the game close was the effort of the bench, with all four bench players combining for 64 points, two more than the starters.

In the end, the Wolves fall to 1-3 in the series, with an incredibly tough game coming Wednesday.
