Timberwolves Explosion -Minnesota Timberwolves Podcast

Big Relapse

December 14, 2018 10:38 - 51 minutes - 46.7 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves took a few steps back this past week, relapsing into the near nonexistent defense we'd become accustomed to the past several years. Luckily, the club has a pretty good opportunity to come off the snide, with a favorable schedule this upcoming week. facebook.com/timberwolves @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

In The Hunt!

December 07, 2018 11:13 - 1 hour - 58.8 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves are back in the playoff hunt! Andrew Wiggins is becoming the defensive player that he was supposed to be coming out of the 2014 NBA Draft. Wiggins is changing shots, blocking players from behind, and taking away passing lanes. Robert Covington is truly rubbing off on the whole team, and we talk about some amazing statistics that this guy brings every single night! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines ...

Filling The Gap

November 30, 2018 11:16 - 1 hour - 60.6 MB

The Timberwolves have filled the gap, getting all the way back to .500. The Wolves have gone 7-2 since the Butler, or should we say Covington trade, including a 4-0 week, despite some awful individual performances by Andrew Wiggins. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Better Vibe

November 23, 2018 11:20 - 1 hour - 56.2 MB

Robert Covington has brought exactly what the Timberwolves have lacked for so long, three and D! Despite finishing the past week with two disappointing losses, the vibe around the entire team has been much better in all aspects. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Butler Is Finally Gone!

November 11, 2018 10:04 - 47 minutes - 43.2 MB

The mindless drama is over, the toxic atmosphere is finally being aired out of the building and locker room at long last. The Timberwolves acquisitions of Robert Covington and Dario Saric should make solid additions to the starting lineup, and keep this team good for awhile with Towns and Wiggins leading the way. facebook,com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Precautionary Rest

November 06, 2018 10:39 - 55 minutes - 50.8 MB

The Jimmy Butler situation just won't end, and it's been taking its toll on many a Timberwolves fan, not to mention many a Timberwolves player. Thibs and Taylor continue to act as if it's business as usual, which baffles us all. With that said, rookie Josh Okogie has emerged a bit, along with Derek Rose taking a much larger role that expected of late. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

October 20, 2018 14:39 - 1 hour - 84.4 MB

The NBA Season is here, and Jimmy Butler is still playing for the Timberwolves. We discuss the ongoing saga, and weigh who's at fault more than anyone else at the end of the day.

Butler Wants Out

September 20, 2018 10:58 - 1 hour - 62.6 MB

Minnesota Timberwolves apparent rental "Star" Jimmy Butler has requested a trade at the very end of an off-season filled with his rants and self absorption. We of course talk about this, along with the impeding end of the Thibodeau regime, along with getting caught up with all the other roster filler moves since the last episode of T.E! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Draft And Free Agency 2018

July 07, 2018 11:02 - 1 hour - 81.4 MB

"Vinrok" Vince Germano joins Joey in a mega first segment to talk about the ongoing Butler effect, which continues to worsen for the Timberwolves on a daily basis. We also get into free agency, and then Joey talks about the draft in segment number two, and as always, fan interaction in segment three! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected]

State Of The Timberwolves 2018

June 16, 2018 21:00 - 2 hours - 147 MB

The annual megasode of Timberwolves Explosion is finally here! Joey has finally returned, now that the move is over, to discuss the current state of our team, putting a bow on 2017-2018 with the season awards and demerits. We then talk about the NBA Draft, who the Wolves should take, and how the club should handle free agency. As always, we hear from you in segment number three! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

A Team Divided

April 26, 2018 11:17 - 1 hour - 74.7 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves season is over in five games against the top seeded Houston Rockets. It's not losing in this particular series that's concerning, it's what's going on behind the scenes, and right before our eyes. Clearly this is not a team that's on the same page with each other, or the coach. There have been differing opinions that have caused increasing friction on all levels. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines a...

Towns' Reality Check

April 20, 2018 11:03 - 1 hour - 63.9 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves are back in the playoffs, and as many expected, they're down 2-0. What wasn't expected however, is Karl Anthony Towns averaging a mere 6.5 Pts per game thus far. Towns has been manhandled and flat out played by Houston's Clint Capella thus far, and this has become more of a trend than a mirage against other talented big men the past few years. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

The Drought Ends!

April 13, 2018 10:50 - 1 hour - 66.2 MB

The 14 year drought is over, regardless of our tough opponent, the Minnesota Timberwolves are in the NBA Playoffs again, at long last! The crazy part is just two or three more wins and our Wolves would have the third seed in the west. We wrap up the three games of the regular season, which got us in, and preview the entire 2018 NBA Bracket! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Something's Missing

April 06, 2018 11:02 - 53 minutes - 53.1 MB

Another frustrating week for the Timberwolves, which boiled over into the overall worst game of the season on Easter Sunday against Ricky Rubio and the playoff bound Utah Jazz. The Wolves are fighting for their playoff lives, and either with Jimmy Butler or not, most of this season it's just seemed like Something's Missing with this team and it's coach. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Maddening Split

March 30, 2018 11:29 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves have definitely been floundering a bit during the month of March, but nothing compares to the 11 point fourth quarter against Memphis. Luckily Karl Anthony Towns followed up that abomination with a franchise record 56 points in Target Center against Atlanta! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Log Jam

March 23, 2018 11:19 - 57 minutes - 56.8 MB

After going 1-2 against the still tough Spurs and championship contending Rockets, the Timberwolves schedule is starting to lighten up a bit. This team needs to take care of business against potential spoiler teams, if they intend to get through this ever growing log jam in the Western Conference standings!

Golden Capital Towns

March 16, 2018 11:37 - 1 hour - 63.4 MB

Karl Anthony Towns showed us that take-over ability we know he has, and did it against the Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards, whom the Timberwolves almost never beat!

Living In The Past?

March 09, 2018 11:05 - 56 minutes - 56.2 MB

Tom Thibodeau apparently is showing more and more of his east coast personality, as he prefers to work with people he knows from the past. Derrick Rose now will join the frey, but to what avail? We also review the two losses the past week, including an awfully chippy game against the ever chippy Utah Jazz!

Coming Of Age

March 02, 2018 11:18 - 1 hour - 62.2 MB

With Jimmy Butler being sidelined indefinitely, the Timberwolves needed to see someone take charge out there, and for the most part this week, that man was Karl Anthony Towns. We've seen Jeff Teague help fill that void pretty well, and Andrew Wiggins look a little more assertive. Is Andrew ready to break out again, and for good this time?

Tying Up Loose Ends

February 23, 2018 10:57 - 37 minutes - 36.8 MB

With no games to review, we dive into previewing the next four games, on what should be a pretty difficult schedule coming up for quite awhile. Before all of that, Joey gives his opinion on what took place during the All-Star weekend.

Wayward Wiggins

February 16, 2018 11:14 - 51 minutes - 50.4 MB

The Timberwolves in general weren't as sharp this week as they had been of late, but they did maintain their home court winning ways. (except against Houston) Andrew Wiggins, after two ok games vs Chicago and Sacramento, had two of his worst games of his career, especially the Houston game, where he missed his first 11 shots! The Timberwolves honored Flip Saunders before the Lakers game,and we talk about him as well. Also on Stitcher and Double Twist! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wol...

Cavaliers Explosion

February 09, 2018 11:33 - 1 hour - 60.3 MB

In a very entertaining couple of games, the Timberwolves end up getting a split, hammering the depleted Pelicans and not finishing a great effort in Cleveland. We discuss the insane trade deadline, which once again did not involve the Timberwolves, but the Cavaliers literally traded away almost half of their team!

Home Sweet Home

February 02, 2018 11:31 - 58 minutes - 58.5 MB

The Timberwolves home record has been outstanding, as said record reached 12 wins in a row this week! The Wolves on the road was another story, as Jeff Teague literally gave the game away in Atlanta.

Butler's Blessing

January 26, 2018 11:31 - 1 hour - 60.8 MB

Jimmy Butler missed this entire week with a sore knee. In a video interview with the Star Tribune's Jerry Zgoda, Butler raved about Wiggins talent, saying "Wigs" is only 40 percent of what he will be. Wiggins exploded against Toronto and especially the LA Clippers, with season highs, including a lot of the amazing spin moves and dunks we know he can do.

100s Are Back

January 19, 2018 11:28 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

So much for keeping teams under 100 points, as the Wolves gave up triple digits in all four of last week's games. The home club played great however in games vs NY and Portland, and seemed to take a step or two back in Orlando and Houston.

The Springboard

January 12, 2018 10:51 - 1 hour - 70.4 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves are a different team since N.Y.E, as they have kept teams under 100 points ever since. Other than a poor shooting speed bump in Boston, the Wolves built huge leads against New Orleans, Cleveland and OKC, and never relinquished them.

Hitting Stride

January 05, 2018 11:06 - 1 hour - 60.7 MB

The Minnesota Timberwolves rang in the new year by scorching the Indiana Pacers and L.A. Lakers, with 17-0 and 16-0 starts in which the Wolves never relinquished the lead. The game against Brooklyn was yet another goofy hiccup in the Timberwolves schedual, as someone named Dinwiddie punished your host for making fun of his name!

He Who Dons 23

December 29, 2017 11:08 - 57 minutes - 55.7 MB

Jimmy Butler reminded us of the old number 23 from his former team with some Jordanesque like performances, especially against Denver this past week. The Wolves also enjoyed their first Christmas Day win, as Karl enjoyed some BBQ Chicken after some pretty explosive plays.

Alpha Dog

December 22, 2017 10:52 - 1 hour - 67 MB

Through most of this season, Jimmy Butler has taken on the leadership role for this club, but no more so than this past week. Despite a not-so-good game against Phoenix, Butler took charge, even with a very sore back, drawing contact, and bringing the club back into the game. Against Portland, Jimmy was downright unbelievable, and in Denver, the true Alpha Dog scored all but a two of the Wolves final eight points. https://www.hipcast.com/members/audio/audio_list.htmAlso on Stitcher and Doubl...

Getting Personal

December 15, 2017 11:18 - 1 hour - 75.4 MB

There was a lot of extracurricular activity this week, along with a winning record for the Timberwolves. After a not so interesting win over Dallas, things got a little personal between Karl-Anthony Towns and 76ers star Joel Embiid, and what Embiid said may have lit a fire under K.A.T, who destroyed Sacramento the following game. Kevin Garnett is back to spewing more venom towards Glen Taylor, which is getting pretty old to say the least. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion p...

Question The Process

December 08, 2017 10:46 - 55 minutes - 54.6 MB

In this episode, we open pandora's box and are going to "Question The Process" that has been going on with Tom Thibadeau the past year and change. Karl Anthony Towns has appeared to take a step backwards, as there clearly is an impasse between him and Thibs. Jimmy Butler has gone from taking too few shots to too many, while Andrew Wiggins offense has been less and less impactful. The complaints about overplaying starters in Chicago has been vilified here in Minnesota as well. Also on Stitche...

Lacking Identity

December 01, 2017 09:58 - 1 hour - 62.2 MB

The Timberwolves had a 2-2 week, and if not for Anthony Davis' ejection, it might have been 1-3. The Wolves' young star players have been having an identity crisis of late, almost as if they're avoiding their strengths, all while deviating to something of lesser talents.

Predictable

November 23, 2017 10:23 - 59 minutes - 58.1 MB

In this rare Thanksgiving day edition of Timberwolves Explosion, we talk about the predictability of the Timberwolves play of late. Literally three steps forward, two steps back, as was first brought up on the last episode. facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Three Steps Forward...

November 14, 2017 11:10 - 1 hour - 64 MB

...Two steps back... That's been the story for the Timberwolves the past two weeks. At least we're coming ahead by one for the most part, including a nice five game winning streak before two awful games in Oracle and Phoenix, followed by an improvement in Utah.

Fluid Situation

October 31, 2017 10:54 - 1 hour - 57.6 MB

The past five games showed how the Timberwolves start to the season is a "Fluid Situation" as you've seen the best, and the worst of this club in a matter of a few days. Luckily Jimmy Butler was able to return from an upper respiratory sickness to help save the day. Jeff Teague is clearly starting to catch on, and has made huge strides.

Slow Burn

October 21, 2017 12:14 - 53 minutes - 48.6 MB

The Timberwolves started things out in San Antonio a lot like the way we've been playing against them the last 15 years, as the chemistry for this improved club is a work in progress in these first two games. Jeff Teague has been lackluster to say the least, whereas Jamal Crawford has been 100% as advertised!

Thibadeau and Layden aren't wasting any time, as on the eve of the free agency negotiation window, they had back channeled a contract agreement with Jeff Teague to take over the reigns of the Timberwolves offense. The powers that be quickly dealt Ricky Rubio to Utah for a protected 2018 first round pick.

In a week where Jordan Clarkson went off from downtown, and C.J. McCollum did his usual Wolves thrashing, the club went 2-2.
