A New D-Low

Losing and injuries are one thing, but obvious disinterest is another. No one wants to pile on, but D'Angelo Russell has lost many a Wolves fan the past month or so. As to what's really happening behind the scenes is something to stay tuned to, because things could get interesting in the next few weeks. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @TwolvesEx [email protected]

Question The ProRosas!

January 22, 2021 16:03 - 1 hour - 62.6 MB

With the never ending collapses, and lineups that make NO SENSE, it's more than time to question the entire process or "ProRosas" of this current regime of coach and President of Basketball Operations.

80 Points In The Paint

January 15, 2021 16:23 - 1 hour - 70 MB

Another frustrating week of runs, leads evaporating and a stat that barely makes any sense. At the Wolves won one game this week, and hopefully Towns' angry post game rant can lead to more success this coming week. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @TwolvesEx [email protected]

Junkyard Dawg Jr.

January 08, 2021 16:27 - 1 hour - 62.5 MB

In a nasty week where the Wolves went 0-4 in despicable fashion, we're literally digging for positives. At least Rosas and Co may have found a pretty solid rotation player in the new Junkyard Dawg! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @TwolvesEx [email protected]

More Injuries

December 31, 2020 20:28 - 1 hour - 83.4 MB

Timberwolves Basketball is finally back in full force! Of course after an extremely positive night, in which the Wolves won in Utah, Karl Anthony Towns is injured again, this time dislocating the same wrist he broke last year. Josh Okogie also is banged up, in what was called a cramp but looked more like a pulled hamstring. D'Angelo Russell continues to frustrate many a Wolves fan with his up and down play, not to mention the endless excuses! Ricky Rubio called out his team after two horrible...

Draft And Free Agency 2020

November 27, 2020 16:27 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MB

The Timberwolves ended up taking Anthony Edwards first overall, but after that is when trades slowly starting slipping threw the cracks throughout the 2020 NBA Draft. The Wolves wound up reacquiring Ricky Rubio, making many a Timberwolves fan happy, while miffing a few others. Rosas also ended up re-signing Malik Beasley and traded for veteran Ed Davis. The question now becomes, what type of lineups are we looking at? facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

August 22, 2020 16:44 - 1 hour - 60.5 MB

Here is the annual granddaddy of them all, State of the Timberwolves 2020 edition! We wrap the 2019-2020 season in a bow, where we would see a season of change, and lots of it.

The Little Beast

March 06, 2020 15:39 - 55 minutes - 50.9 MB

Malik Beasley talks big, plays big, and appears more and more to be a great acquisition by Wolves POBO Gerson Rosas. During Stretches this week, defense did not apply, but luckily there were some moments where we saw some, along with the Wolves offense being so good, that it didn't matter! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

Beating The Butthead!

February 28, 2020 16:00 - 1 hour - 72.4 MB

This show was going to focus around the frustrations of "Planned Rest", but when D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and co. took care of business against arch Nemesis Jimmy Butler the way they did, we had to center the show more around that! We hear from Tahae's takes on the air once again, and he doesn't disappoint! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion Send Audio Submissions to: [email protected]

It's 48 Minutes!

February 14, 2020 16:23 - 1 hour - 70.7 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a heck of a lot more fun to watch, especially against the Clippers, but the third and fourth quarters have continued to plague the club, regardless who is suiting up on a nightly basis. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

All Roads Lead To D'Angelo

February 07, 2020 16:17 - 1 hour - 79.8 MB

Oh my goodness was this past week a whirlwind of epic proportions! Gerson Rosas and the Timberwolves front office had to have been working around the clock for months to consummate what they did in the past 48 hours. Rosas and co traded away five players one night, and two days later parted ways with the much debated Andrew Wiggins, which finally lead to their ultimate prize of acquiring the man they have chased for six months, D'Angelo Russell. Gorgui Gieng was the seventh player traded this...

The Settler

January 24, 2020 16:13 - 1 hour - 62.5 MB

The Timberwolves had a very frustrating week, as their losing streak has now reached seven games. Ryan Saunders finally had enough, and blew up at the team during halftime after a lackluster first half in Chicago. Andrew Wiggins continues to be an enigma, and your host now has a new nickname for him to add to the list. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Now also on TuneIN Radio!

Replacement Parts

January 17, 2020 16:10 - 1 hour - 59.8 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves made their first of what might be multiple trades in the coming weeks and months, moving Jeff Teague and Treveon Graham to Atlanta, for Allen Crabbe, a name we've mentioned a few times the past year or so. Andrew Wiggins has dropped back into the doldrums of last year, and many are wondering when Ryan Saunders will truly take the reins of this team. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

Listless In Target Center

December 20, 2019 16:15 - 59 minutes - 54.6 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves fell way behind vs Kawhi Lenard, Paul George and the Los Angeles Clippers, then mounted an impressive comeback that fell short. Karl Anthony Towns hurt his already sore knee late in the Clippers game, and was not available in one of the most depressing, effortless games that your host has seen in sometime. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

Chris Paul and 'efense

December 13, 2019 16:16 - 1 hour - 58.8 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves losing streak has reached six games, due to forgettable defensive efforts, and Chris Paul's manipulation tactics didn't help either. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

Live And Die By The Three

December 06, 2019 20:07 - 1 hour - 57.7 MB

From The Top Of The Key

November 29, 2019 15:45 - 58 minutes - 53.8 MB

Karl Anthony Towns continues to scorch from downtown, but took a pretty ill advised shot late Saturday against the Suns.

Ups, Downs and Towns

November 21, 2019 14:57 - 1 hour - 61.4 MB

In an up and down stretch, in which we also saw Wiggins miss three games with personal reasons, the Wolves are now 8-7. Minnesota is 5-2 on the road, which is a stark contrast to last season, now they need to get better at home. Andrew Wiggins looks more and more like a full fledged all-star, with a complete game and much higher IQ! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

Encouraging Signs

November 10, 2019 19:36 - 1 hour - 63.2 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves are off to a solid 5-3 start to the season. Despite their three losses being stinkers, there are some pretty encouraging signs, as Andrew Wiggins is becoming very clutch in the fourth quarter, like he was in his first two seasons, when your host dubbed him "The Silent Assassin". Karl Anthony Towns continues his climb to the league's elite, and rookie Jarrett Culver is also showing what he can be as a pro in the coming years. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolv...

Draft And Free Agency 2019

July 06, 2019 10:25 - 1 hour - 87 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves were aggressive as they've ever been, trading up to the sixth pick and ended up with Jarrett Culver, when they apparently wanted Darius Garland. It looked more and more like the Wolves would land D'Angelo Russell, only to see the hated Golden State Warriors swoop in and steal him away, however, we were kind enough to facilitate the move. We comb over the draft, the trades and free agent signings league-wide, and of course focus greatly on what direction the Timberwo...

Road Worriers

March 15, 2019 11:08 - 1 hour - 61.3 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves have won six games in a row at home, where they are 23-10 so far, which is great.

We discuss Karl Anthony Towns amazing play the past several games, and get into the nitty gritty of Andrew Wiggins shooting woes. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

We Own OKC, But...

March 08, 2019 11:02 - 1 hour - 55.2 MB

The Timberwolves, if they want Ryan Saunders to get hired, need to show some form of defense vs somebody other than the OKC Thunder. Don't get me wrong, beating OKC is great, but... what about several other teams? Surely this team is capable of much more than they have been showing, even without Covington. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Defense Is Optional

March 01, 2019 10:40 - 1 hour - 60.4 MB

T.E. is finally back in the saddle again, as we cram five games into a busy week, involving Karl-Anthony Towns missing the first two games of his career. For the most part this past week, defense appeared as if it was optional, especially in Milwaukee and Atlanta. Towns has had an MVP like month of February, whereas Andrew Wiggins has virtually fallen off the face of the earth. facebook.com/timberwolves.com @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

7-11 Saric Starts!

February 15, 2019 11:26 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

Ryan Saunders made the move a lot of us were pining for, and Dario Saric is now the starting power forward for the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the two remaining games before the break, things went very well as the Wolves shot over 50% in both games, and "7-11 Saric" thrived in his new starting role for the home club! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Really Wiggins?

February 09, 2019 11:08 - 1 hour - 67 MB

Continued frustration with the lifeless effort of Andrew Wiggins is boiling over locally and nationally. With that said, no one wants the guy to fail, on the contrary, it's knowing how good Wiggins can be, is what's making him so painful to watch. facebook.com/timberwolves @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Point Guard Anyone?

February 01, 2019 11:21 - 1 hour - 55.6 MB

Jerryd Bayless is the only healthy point guard on the roster, and he's been making the most of it, despite some mediocre shooting at times. Isaiah Canaan was brought in on a ten day contract to provide some relief at the very least. Minnesota did not have a good week, losing both games to Utah, and barely squeaking past the Memphis Grizzlies. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Reciprocals

Trolling Sixers

January 18, 2019 11:24 - 1 hour - 57.3 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves had a pretty frustrating week to say the least. There were some positive indicators in the Pelicans game, more threes, much better use of the bench, but nothing went right in Philly, and Embiid is at it again... facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Flip's Vision Returns

January 11, 2019 11:29 - 1 hour - 63.1 MB

Flip Saunders had a vision for this franchise, his untimely death and the actions of his "replacement" Tom Thibodeau appeared to have destroyed what Flip had in mind. Four years later, maybe, just maybe that very vision could be realized after all. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Timberwolves Fire Thibodeau

January 06, 2019 20:17 - 21 minutes - 20 MB

Dropping Like Flies

January 04, 2019 11:09 - 52 minutes - 47.8 MB

Andrew Wiggins had one of the most embarrassing games in Timberwolves history, and misguidedly called out the fans after the game. Karl Anthony Towns was downright fantastic all week, putting up historic numbers in Miami. Unfortunately, player after player keeps missing games with injury, including Jeff Teague, where some of us may have forgotten he was on the team! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

The Silent Assassin Returns!

December 28, 2018 10:54 - 48 minutes - 44.8 MB

Andrew Wiggins generally speaking has been a different player since the departure of the toxic Jimmy Butler. In Oklahoma City however, we saw the return of the "Silent Assassin". Wiggins showed the whole repertoire, unleashing his deadly spin move, floating on air, turnaround jump shots, along with catch and shoot threes, leading Minnesota to a dramatic victory on the road in the deadly Western Conference! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into ...

Another Identity Crisis

December 21, 2018 11:01 - 58 minutes - 53.9 MB

With back and forth performances, this Timberwolves club is yet again in another identity crisis. The only thing consistent this season has been the fact that this team cannot win on the road, including being winless against the West on the road to this day. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877
