Timberwolves Tip to Tap

Induction Ceremony for Andrew Wiggins into Timberwolves FTG Hall of Fame.Playoff assessment.Our future as a Pro-DLo Podcast.All in on Rudy Gobert AND WHY.

Josh and Dan invite our first Sympathizer, Pat Mixdorf, of First Team All Nonsense (@1stTeamNonsense) onto the show to revisit preseason predictions and view our normal takes on hype, delusions, and blind spots through the lens of an impending play-in appearance. And, as always, Timberwolves Power Rankings™.

Last summer Tip to Tap was in "Camp Run-it-Back." Before the trade deadline we were "Team Stay-Put." Now, as the end of the season nears, the data points are in: how do we assess this team? And what should be considered a successful season?Some celebration of KAT, but also talk of why getting to the next level requires TWO players that CONSISTENTLY put pressure on the rim.PLUS, a theory SO CONTROVERSIAL Dan was unwilling to unveil it on Twitter, simply so as to avoid the mentions.Shout-outs to Utepils, Fair State Brewing Cooperative, and Modist Brewing.

Featuring a breakdown of the various elements contributing to the massive swell of positivity surrounding the Minnesota Timberwolves.PLUS, extending Dan's "star theory" on defense to an entire team concept, a lot of back-patting over earlier-season (and pre-season) prognostication that is bearing out. Really, the only negativity is when Dan LAYS INTO trade deadline Crazytown. Featuring beer from Dangerous Man (Minneapolis, MN) and Single Speed (Cedar Falls, IA).

Featuring a revisiting of our early season takes of "KAT cannot be the leader of this team" and "We are a Pro-DLo podcast," both of which kick off a ton of tangents around leadership and player growth.Plus, talk about team culture change, how much is it about the refs and how much is it about guys who just don't know how to work the refs, and a littany of characters ranging from Ant to Nathan Knight. And, as always, Timberwolf Power Rankings™.Join the fun!
