Dunks After Dusk

Well... a lot has happened in a week. The Timberwolves trade Julius Randle for nothing. They draft Isaiah Evans. And then this morning they trade Naz Reid and an unprotected pick for LaMelo Ball. Lots to talk about, all culminating in a podcast ejection for the one of the hosts!

It's time to let all our thoughts on the 2026 Timberwolves (and beyond) out whether they are half baked, fully baked, or something we barely believe or put much thought into at all! Covered in this episode: - KAT - Timberwolves rebrand - Olivia Miles - Trades - The draft - And much more!

Our season wrap-up episode is about looking forward as Anthony Edwards enters into his prime: Who on the roster fits his skillset and which of those players can compete in a series against San Antonio or OKC?

And with that, the 2025-2026 Timberwolves season has come to an end. Lots of offseason questions coming, but for tonight, a brief recap on game 6 with bigger offseason questions coming soon.

While Wolves put up more of a fight than in game 2, the end result is the same. Ayo gets the big ticket and then a plethora of Shake Milton awards are given!

Wemby throws elbows. Ant makes clutch buckets. Wolves even the series at 2-2 as it heads back to San Antonio.

Wemby was brilliant. Tip your hat and go out and get game 4.

The title says it all. No Big Ticket handed out in a playoff game for the first time in our podcast history!

The Timberwolves continue to be a team of junkyard dogs that grind opponents down and find ways to win in the clutch. With Anthony Edwards returning, the team steals game 1 in San Antonio.

The Timberwolves enter the series vs the Spurs as big underdogs, but both Mitch and Pat have some questions about that assumption after digging deep on the numbers and regular season matchups. Add in Anthony Edwards' looming return and we both think the smart money is on a prolonged series.

Two words: Jaden McDaniels.

The Wolves turn that ball over 25 times thanks to Denver's increased ball pressure which is story A,B,C,D,E... etc on this game. Game 6 shifts to Target Center where the Wolves, with the right adjustments and gameplan intentionality, will have a chance to end the Denver Nuggets season.

While a lot of the conversation tomorrow is going to be about the status for their superstar's injury, tonight's game was all about the heart and grit of this Timberwolves team. Led by Ayo Dosunmo 43 points on offense and Jaden/Rudy's defense, the Wolves secure a 3-1 series lead against the Denver Nuggets.

Awooooo!! Some defense that would maybe even give game 2 of the 23/24 season a run for its money is what led to the Wolves taking a 2-1 lead over the Nuggets.

The rollercoaster Timberwolves grant us the highest high of the season with a 19pt comeback win against the Nuggets in Denver to even the series 1-1.

Unfortunately, game 1 of the Wolves postseason wasn't didn't have an M. Night Shyamalan twist; the Wolves haven't been reborn into something new but are the same team we saw in the regular season, albeit more injured. Rudy was the big ticket, playing some very good defense on Jokic and being an effective offensive contributor. Ayo and Donte were solid. But no one else on the roster could elevate t...

The playoffs are here! Time for our seven big questions: 1. What does a statistical deep dive tell us? 2. What do the regular season matchups tell us? 3. How much are vibes impacting perception of the series? 4. What are the key injuries? 5. Who are the series X-Factors? 6. If the Timberwolves lose, what would be the biggest reason? 7. If the Timberwolves win, what would be the biggest reason? And...

Mitch and Pat hop on the mics to wrap up the regular season by giving their thoughts on the final stretch of games, revealing the big ticket award rankings, and finally offering a brief 50,000ft view on the Nuggets series before their deep dive on Thursday.

TJ Shannon and the Wolves end the Rockets 8 game win streak playing their regular rotation guys, despite no Rudy, Julius, Naz and Bones.

While Mitch and Pat do the normal recap of the Wolves loss vs the Pistons, the overarching theme of the episode is simple: It's time to start resting up for the playoffs.

Ayo Dosunmo continues to be a revelation for the Timberwolves, highlighted tonight by his 2nd career triple double.

Basketball talk time! With defense and physicality, the Wolves match and exceed the Rockets, led by scoring bursts from Jaden McDaniels in the 4th quarter, and the heroics of Julius Randle in OT.

Scott Foster is an aging official with a conspiracy riddled past that has always allowed his ego, his personal baggage with players, and his disdain for fans to eclipse the basketball product and make it about himself.

The Timberwolves beat the Celtics in Boston for the first time in 21 years, and they do it led by Bones Hyland and Ayo Dosunmo.

The shorthanded Wolves take care of business against the shorthanded Suns in a game that should asuage worries for the moment about falling into the play-in.
