Locked On Wolves - Daily Podcast On The Minnesota Timberwolves

The Minnesota Timberwolves take one of the worst offenses in the league into their matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. While the Wolves beat the Bucks twice last year, Milwaukee currently boasts the league's best defense and could be a nightmare matchup for Minnesota. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) pleads for the Wolves to rebound all five players against the Bucks and do whatever necessary to simply keep the ball moving on offense.

There's no arguing that the Minnesota Timberwolves have gotten off to a slow start this season. Still, given the combined success of the teams they've played against, a 4-4 record may not be as bad as it seems at first glance. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down why it isn't all bad, as well as a look ahead at the next week's schedule. Plus, fun with three-man lineups, along with some surprising data.
