Introduction: Host Michael Rand takes a break for several minutes from Vikings talk to dive into the Timberwolves' 128-125 loss to the Pelicans on Tuesday. It ended a four-game winning streak and kept the Wolves from getting over .500 at the midpoint of the season (20-21), and in the aftermath Karl-Anthony Towns talked about how players can't let love from the media get to their heads. Um, what? The narrative around this team is one of improvement, for sure, but has anyone really said they have arrived? Hear audio clips from Towns, Anthony Edwards and Patrick Beverley. 8:00: Star Tribune columnist Chip Scoggins joins the show to dissect what Rand deems the five most important things said about the Vikings in the last few days. Quotes from Eric Kendricks, Brian O'Neill, Mark Wilf, Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman (the last two being official statements) shed light on individuals and the team going forward. 30:00: Scoggins thinks Kirk Cousins will be traded in the offseason, which is a good reason to remember that a new coach for the Vikings has tended to mean a QB gets drafted right away.

On today's show, we breakdown the Timberwolves fourth consecutive win — a win on the road against the Houston, fueled by a career-high in points and rebounds for Jarred Vanderbilt, who keeps expanding his offensive game. We also discuss Karl-Anthony Towns' biggest scoring night of the season thus far, and how it feels like the Wolves have clearly taken themselves to a level well beyond the riff-raff of the bottom of the Western Conference. Specific topics include: — Being able to bring the fire, even with Patrick Beverley out — How Jarred Vanderbilt's 21 points tonight are the culmination of a trend that has show Vando's offensive role grow — KAT's 40-point night, and how the Wolves have began to position KAT in a way that fits better around Vanderbilt — How the COVID games helped lay a framework for an offense predicated on ball movement — Nowell, Beasley and Okogie contributing off the bench Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's show, we get into the Wolves third consecutive win — a win fueled by Anthony Edwards, D'Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns passing the torch quarter to quarter until Oklahoma City was buried. We also discuss the rare occurrence of a Wolves team that appears to have chemistry, and how that might change the way we look at the trade deadline. Topics today include: — The Big 3 combining for 70 points, sharing the load quarter by quarter — How a shooting uptick here from DLo could have a similar impact to the times we've seen KAT have extended stretches of good defense — A Wolves team with chemistry, and how that might change the way the trade deadline is pursued — Jaylen Nowell's contract being guaranteed for the year, and the future contract options the Wolves have on him in terms of his upcoming free agency Learn more about your ad choices.

Lots of Anthony Edwards talk on this episode, comparing the second half of his rookie season to the first half of this season, and wondering what another second half surge to close the season would look like. Today's topics include: — How the Wolves were able to win despite, as Ant said, “playing bad” — Why Ant remains the most intriguing and ambiguous variable of the second half of the season — Funky returns from KAT and DLo — Jaylen Nowell closing the game over DLo and potentially unlocking something in the halfcourt offense alongside KAT — Comparing what Nowell can do to what Malik Beasley has been doing Learn more about your ad choices.

So we discuss what new variables have presented themselves while not playing at full strength, and how those pieces might fit into the Wolves rotation once Karl-Anthony Towns and D'Angelo Russell return. — Who should be in the 10-man rotation once KAT + DLo return? — How Anthony Edwards, Naz Reid, Jaylen Nowell and Jaden McDaniels have all shown something more these past few weeks — Patrick Beverley feeling under appreciated while he was with the Clippers, and how he has successfully added playmaking to his bag since coming to the Timberwolves — Naz Reid as a high volume pick and roll player — A winnable upcoming stretch against Oklahom City (twice), Houston and New Orleans Learn more about your ad choices.

New York Knicks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves NBA Pick Prediction 12/28/2021 by Tony T. Knicks at Timberwolves—On the Knicks side out are Noel and Rose. D'Angelo Russell and Karl Anthony Towns remain out as do several reserves. New York has won three of five with their 101-87 home win to Atlanta Hawks. Knicks fifth in offensive efficiency in that period as they score 114.7 points per 100 possessions. Minnesota had their two game losing streak broken in a 108-103 home win to Boston Celtics. But the Timberwolves without depth is on a back to back against a Knicks team with two days rest. Play New York -5.

Matt Stroup and Steve Alexander discuss the landscape of fantasy hoops at the start of Week 11, with a ton of big names still in the NBA's health and safety protocols — including Jayson Tatum, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Bradley Beal. With that in mind, we hit a wide range of waiver wire options to (hopefully) help our fantasy rosters weather the storm, from Gabe Vincent to Deni Avdija and Omer Yurtseven.(3:54) Paul George injury(8:54) Waiver Wire Leftovers(28:00) Listener questions

Introduction: Another day, more Minnesota athletes sidelined by COVID. This time, it was two of the biggest names: Karl-Anthony Towns and Dalvin Cook. Towns joins six other Wolves teammates on the COVID list, a growing number that was too much for the Wolves to overcome in a 128-116 loss at Utah on Thursday. 4:00: Vikings beat writer Ben Goessling joins the show to break down the Cook news and his reporting that quarterback Kirk Cousins has a cracked rib that landed him on the injury report for the first time in eight years. While the injury to Cousins doesn't sound like it will keep him out of Sunday's game, it is fair to wonder if it will limit his effectiveness against a stout Rams defense. Even a fully healthy Cousins might have his hands full if the Vikings' slumping offensive line can't perform better in a crucial game against Aaron Donald and co. 19:00: Mark Craig joins for his weekly NFL picks segment with a slate of games that might be as good as any all year. There are huge playoff implications across the board. And don't forget to check out the Saturday games.

Josh Lloyd looks back at Thursday's NBA Games, discussing the big performances and surprises, Kemba Walker's 44 points as the Knicks fall short, news of Karl-Anthony Towns and Bradley Beal in the COVID protocols, and more.

Ryan Blackburn recaps the Denver Nuggets 124-107 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in which Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns dominated their respective matchups. Nikola Jokić had a triple-double, but he had very little help against a potent T'Wolves starting unit. Markus Howard also sustained what may be a serious knee injury, details we are still waiting on. Ryan discusses Denver's starters not rising to the occasion, the bench more or less looking the same, and the mounting injuries that may force Denver toward roster additions sooner rather than later.

Brendan Vogt, Dev Johnson and Eric Wedum recap the Nuggets' loss to the Timberwolves where Denver couldn't overcome Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns' offensive explosions. The guys talk Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, the bench, and then Harrison Wind calls in from Ball Arena following the Nuggets' postgame pressers.

Topics include: — Is this Wolves team that started 11-10 different than the 2019-20 team that started that season 10-8? — Five game losing streak of not only losing but “getting spanked” — Why missed expectations are leading to frustration boiling over more than is typical — How Cleveland deployed the same tactic as the Washington Wizards for pummeling the Wolves on the interior, ripping out the soul of the Wolves defense — Why the Wolves defense keeps slipping, now out of the top-10 in defensive rating — Jordan McLaughlin and Leandro Bolmaro not providing what is needed at backup point guard, and why this might mean it's time to elevate Jaylen Nowell in the pecking order Learn more about your ad choices.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand made the silly mistake of thinking Thursday night's Vikings game was somehow under control when the team led 26-0 in the third quarter. He set the rest of the game to record and helped put his oldest daughters to bed after thinking to himself that this was one of those rare moments in franchise history that a game was truly over before it was over. And he was right! (Narrator: No, not really). Instead of being on cruise control, the Vikings needed a pass breakup in the end zone on the final play to escape with a 36-28 win. Hear postgame reaction from Rand -- along with Mike Zimmer, Kirk Cousins and Anthony Barr. 11:00: Timberwolves beat writer Chris Hine joins the show to talk about another team that has been up and down all season.
