Great Wiggins Debate!

February 17, 2017 16:21 - 1 hour - 68.9 MB

Despite the amazing week by Andrew Wiggins on the scoring side, a great debate has begun regarding his super-star status, due to his lack of defensive awareness. Yet another injury, this time to Lance Stephenson, leaves the Wolves even thinner at the two guard.

Next Man Up

February 10, 2017 14:53 - 1 hour - 76.5 MB

During a frustrating game at The Palace, Zach Lavine had an awkward landing, after staying in the game, he limped off to the locker room. Most of us thought he'd miss a few games, until the morning the dreaded "Next man up" phrase was in play, as an MRI revealed a torn ACL. Lance Stephenson has been added to the roster in hopes to help the team in multiple ways.

Sacrificial Lambs

February 03, 2017 16:07 - 1 hour - 57.3 MB

After two strong games against the Nets and Magic, the Wolves were in the National spotlight against an angry Cavs team, and the result was devastating. With all said, Towns had another great week, Wiggins was strong, however Zach continues to show that his hip still isn't right.

Clutchability

January 27, 2017 16:22 - 1 hour - 64.8 MB

Despite some sloppy play, the Wolves are starting to win the close games that they wouldn't have, earlier in the season. Against Phoenix, Andrew Wiggins hit the first official buzzer beater in Timberwolves history since Ridnour in 2012. Karl Anthony Towns is continuing his dominance, and should make that All-Star game as an injury replacement at the very least.

Towns Showing Identity

January 20, 2017 15:44 - 47 minutes - 43.9 MB

Consistency Is The Key

December 30, 2016 17:08 - 51 minutes - 47.3 MB

There clearly is more to Andrew Wiggins compared to what we have been seeing of late. When Wiggins is aggressive, he can take over a game as good as anyone. In general, the lack of consistency defensively is what is holding this club back.

A Different Feel

December 23, 2016 15:12 - 1 hour - 58.5 MB

There's definitely a different feel around the Timberwolves players the past week. You're seeing more confidence that they can win, despite blowing one against Houston, the Wolves stuck with it, and won the next two games.

Laying A Foundation

December 16, 2016 16:32 - 1 hour - 56 MB

After getting stomped by Detroit, and getting called out hypocritically by Ricky Rubio, the Timberwolves starting showing signs of improvement. After an awful fourth quarter against the Warriors, and an equally bad first quarter vs Chicago, you finally saw some of that Thibodeau defense, which is essential to the foundation of this franchise.

The Pothole

November 25, 2016 15:58 - 45 minutes - 41.2 MB

Andrew Wiggins and the Timberwolves had a pothole of a week. Wiggins couldn't buy a basket, especially from beyond the arc in all three games. The defense wasn't good, and the offense was even worse!

Being Targeted

October 30, 2016 19:15 - 1 hour - 62.5 MB

The Timberwolves are 0-2 to start the season, much due to the fact of being out muscled, and a lot of similar problems we've seen in the past. It appears Karl Anthony Towns has a target on his back from centers in this league that feel they're still better than him.

Fix It! Fix It!

March 09, 2016 15:40 - 1 hour - 59.7 MB

Many Wolves players had an up and down two weeks, Wiggins goes from quiet to aggressive, back to quiet again. Lavine shoots too much, too little, too much... etc... Gorgui has focused more on defense of late, and has all but disappeared offensively. With all said, the Timberwolves had a franchise best 68.4 field goal percentage vs Brooklyn! facebook.com/timberwolvesexplosion @wolvesexplosion [email protected] Call into our Phone Lines at:209-736-7877

Joey sends you off into the All-Star break with a fun, positive, "High Flying" show, regarding some pretty strong play.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have been taking some forward steps the past two weeks. Even though the Wolves only won two games, they continue to look better for the most part, particularly against Cleveland and Dallas.

The Minnesota Timberwolves game after game the past two weeks, would start things off well, and on cue every single time, would crash and burn in the second and third quarters, giving themselves minimal chance of coming back. The final two games we review, the Wolves finally regained a very important ingredient of what made them successful early in the season.

SeeSaw Effect

This past week was a major frustration, and a strange seesaw effect seems to have emerged: It seems of late that when Wiggins is doing well, Towns' numbers and playing time drop, and when Towns plays well, Wiggins production takes a hit, why?

Andrew Wiggins struggled mightily the first four games of this season, and finally broke threw with 31 in Chicago. Many people think K.A.T is already the best player on the team now, and long term, your host is not quite ready for that just yet.
