The Playoffs Through The Lens of the Timberwolves w/ Jack Borman Jun 03, 2021

Show notes

On today’s pod, Jack Borman of CanisHoopus joins the pod to chat about our Timberwolves-related thoughts that have been triggered while watching these playoffs. We’re calling it “watching the playoffs through a Timberwolves lens”. And, in that, we discuss:

• The idea of this playoff role player-type of John Collins being on the Wolves next season

• Buy low guys that could be acquired via trade this summer by the Wolves who are playing in these playoffs. Guys like Daniel Gafford of the Wizards

• The power forwards the Timberwolves pursued this offseason — like Derrick Jones Jr., Paul Millsap and JaMychal Green — having relatively small playoff impacts. How does this impact our view of the midlevel exception?

• The similarities in offensive structure between what Brooklyn has built to what the Timberwolves have on their roster — three strong isolation players and one shooter

The Timberwolves Season Is Over -- But It's Only The Beginning + A Thank You From Me To You + Observations From Mavs-Wolves May 17, 2021

Show notes

We made it through 72 games of Minnesota Timberwolves basketball this season, somehow. It was wild. It was weird. And it was certainly only the beginning... of something. After a win in Game 72 over the Dallas Mavericks, on today’s show, we reflect on the season that was, acknowledge that Anthony Edwards is something to believe in, and turn our gaze onto Gersson Rosas and the front office for their biggest offseason yet.

A thank you from me to you for making this season, the pod and my job possible
One last look at Anthony Edwards’ insane close to the season. Making the case that Edwards is not only something to believe in but a player that has already arrived
Why it’s now go-time for Gersson Rosas and the front office to win the Summer of 2021

Timberwolves Good Vibes Faltering + Decision-Time For Rosas on Rubio-DLo Pairing + Is McDaniels a PF or SF? + Observations From Celtics-Wolves May 16, 2021

Show notes

In the Timberwolves second-to-last game of the season, they seemed to run out of whatever good vibes they were running on. Saturday’s loss to the Celtics signaled much of the good JuJu that had been fueling team has either expired or been put on ice until next year — but it also opened up a chance to greatly improve their lottery odds in the final game of the season against Dallas. On today’s pod we discuss:

How the Timberwolves lottery odds will be impacted by Sunday’s results
Another disappointing loss for a team that is “not a tanking team”
Decision time for Rosas on the Rubio and DLo pairing. Does it matter that the Rubio-DLo numbers have been better under Finch than they were under Saunders?
How deciding Jaden McDaniels’ position is a sliding door decision for the Wolves this summer

Show notes

As the Minnesota Timberwolves began to play out the string with a Thursday night loss to the Denver Nuggets, we look forward to what Chris Finch might be able to bring out of Karl-Anthony Towns next season. How Finch’s experience with Nikola Jokic in Denver and Anthony Davis in New Orleans might apply to KAT potentially reaching a new level. Amongst other things, we discuss:

Finch speaks on his time in Denver with Jokic — watching Jokic’s breakout season first hand
What parts of Jokic’s ascension can we bank on for KAT next season?
Anthony Edwards’ 18-point third quarter on Thursday and the Timberwolves relationship with streakiness
The Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore ownership deal reportedly crossing the finish line and what the first steps are in this transition of power from Glen Taylor to Rodriguez and Lore

12-9 In Games w/ KAT, DLo and Ant This Season + DLo As A Passer + In-House Options at PF + Observations From Pistons-Wolves May 12, 2021

Show notes

Tuesday night was another blowout win for the Timberwolves. On today's pod, we reflect on the Wolves now being 10-7 with KAT, DLo and Ant all in the lineup since DLo's return (and 12-9 for the season). And then we take a mental note of how much the numbers have been inflated by these last two blowouts. We also touch on DLo showcasing his special passing lately. And close out the pod be wondering what the Wolves in-house options at power forward might be if they don't address the position this offseason.
