Dads And Dunks: Your To-The-Point Wolves Talk Podcast

Tom and Josh run a full over/under board on the 2026-27 Minnesota Timberwolves. Anthony Edwards ' three-pointers made per game at 3.4. Ant games played at 68.5. Rudy Gobert at 10.9 points per game and 55.5 games played as a Wolf, which is really a trade deadline question. LaMelo Ball at 72.5 games, 7.1 assists, 272 threes made, and 28 minutes per game. Jaden McDaniels scoring over or under his career high of 14.8. Terrence Shannon ...

LeBron James still has not decided, and the Minnesota Timberwolves still have a hole at power forward shaped exactly like him.

Tom and Josh dig into LeBron James's free-agent fit and why Cleveland, Miami, and Golden State each ask him to do something he cannot really do anymore. Harden and Donovan Mitchell are going to eat more possessions than Ant and LaMelo ever would. Giannis and Bam cannot shoot, so Miami has to grind out every ...

This one hurts and thrills in equal measure. We lost Naz Reid. The towels, the undrafted-to-Sixth-Man-of-the-Year story, the fan favorite who filled the arena and our hearts. We are not okay about it, and we are keeping every piece of Naz memorabilia we own.

But then LaMelo Ball walked through the door, and we are going all in on Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert. Buy, buy, buy. Ant finally gets a 6'8" point guard who pulls the double...

Wolves are out. Spurs in 6. Tom and Josh break down the playoff exit, the offseason questions, and the reasons for hope.

Topics include:

• The Denver win we'll never forget (Ayo's 43, Jaden's smack talk, Rudy shutting down Jokic)
• The Spurs reality check (Wemby is real, and not as ethical as advertised)
• Ant's cagey postgame and what it really meant
• DDV's absence and what it cost us
• Championship habits and the regular-season slide
• The Jul...

Wolves are moving on. Tom and Josh preview Round 2 against the San Antonio Spurs.

In this episode:

What changes when you go from the worst rim protection in the league (Denver) to one of the best (Wemby and the Spurs). Whether the downhill attack that buried the Nuggets still works against San Antonio. Rudy Gobert vs Victor Wembanyama and what that matchup could look like. Ant's status and what the rotation looks like if he's still m...

The Wolves are moving on. Tom and Josh break down a Game 6 win in Minneapolis that had no business happening on paper. No Anthony Edwards. No Donte DiVincenzo. No Ayo Dosunmu. No Slo Mo. And the Wolves still ran Denver out of Target Center 110-98 to close the series.

In this episode:

Jaden McDaniels' legacy game (career-high 32 points, 10 boards, 3 assists, zero turnovers in 45 minutes) and the Jamal Murray lockdown job that came wit...

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Denver Nuggets Game 4 recap. Wolves win 112-96 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, but the night came with major injuries.

Donte DiVincenzo suffered an Achilles tear two minutes into the game and is out for the remainder of the playoffs and most of next season. Anthony Edwards hyperextended his left knee in the second quarter, diagnosed as a bone bruise with no ...

Wolves take a 2-1 series lead with a statement Game 3 win at Target Center, 113-96. Tom and Josh break down the blowout on the first-ever instant reaction Fast Break pod.

Jaden McDaniels backed up his postgame comments from Game 2 with 20 points, 10 rebounds, a block, and 41 minutes of setting the tone. Ayo Dosunmu erupted off the bench for 25 points and 9 assists on 66.7% shooting. Rudy Gobert held Jokic and the Nuggets to 9 points...

Series tied 1-1. The Wolves flipped a 19-point hole in Denver and stole Game 2 on the road, 119-114. Tom and Josh break it down: Anthony Edwards grinding out 30 and 10 on a bad knee, Julius Randle's massive bounce-back game (24-9-6 on 17 shots), Donte DiVincenzo going plus-20 with four catch-and-shoot threes and a game-sealing dunk, and Rudy Gobert holding Jokic to 1-of-8 with Rudy on the floor. Plus the coaching chess match: non-R...

Game 1 is in the books, and Tom and Josh are calling an audible for the playoffs: 15 to 25-minute drops after every game. Denver takes the opener 116-105, and there's a lot to unpack.

First, the officiating. Jamal Murray shot 16 for 16 from the line. The Wolves as a team shot 19. We get into the uneven whistle, the Jaden flagrant, the Jokic-McDaniels scrum, and why Murray's free-throw rate was way above his season norm.

Then the bask...

The regular season is done and the Wolves are locked in as the six seed headed to face Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets. Today we do something a little different. A quick season in review, the Denver matchup broken down, Ant in the playoffs, the Rudy/Slo Mo/Jokic rotation puzzle, play-in predictions for both conferences, every first-round pick, and a full bracket all the way to the NBA Finals. We crowned a champion...and you'll ...

The Wolves go 1-3 this week, and it is not great. Tom took his five-year-old, Julien, to his first Wolves game on Easter Sunday against Charlotte -- spoiler, they left at halftime, and it was the right call. We break down the week, talk about what Ant and Jaden being hurt actually means heading into a first-round matchup with Denver, dig into the stat that shows Ant elevates against the best teams while Rudy quietly does the opposi...

The Wolves went 1-1 this week, but one of those games will go down in history. Minnesota came back from 13 points down in overtime to beat the Houston Rockets 110-108 — the largest overtime comeback since the NBA began tracking play-by-play data in 1997. Oh, and Scott Foster was the ref. Fuck that guy. We break down both games in full, get into the Scott Foster file, and debate whether the NBA needs to do something about him ...

3-1 without Anthony Edwards! It's all good, right? Not so fast.

This week, Tom and Josh break down a Wolves squad navigating the stretch run without their best player and discovering that Julius Randle might not be the alpha they were banking on. Finch publicly called him out for his rebounding effort. And Josh loved it. The bench outplayed Julius in three of four games. And Tom takes a detour to blast American Airlines...because it...

Ant drops 40 on Memphis, posterizes RJ Barrett in Toronto, and the Wolves go two and one on the week, but Julius Randle shooting 15% from three in March is impossible to ignore. Tom and Josh recap all three games, dig into Randle's month-by-month three-point collapse, and work through six fan submissions covering the biggest questions facing this roster: Is this team deeper than the last two Western Conference Finals squads? Is the...

The Wolves went 3-0 this week, with wins over Portland (124-121), the Clippers (94-88), and Denver (117-108). Jaden McDaniels was the standout against the Blazers, drawing praise from Jamal Crawford, while Ant continued his clutch-time dominance despite some efficiency concerns. The Clippers win featured a gritty fourth-quarter comeback and sparked conversation about the Ant-Finch dynamic after Edwards hit a contested dagger three ...

Ant drops 40 on Dallas, wins All-Star MVP, and then calls out Cade Cunningham — and the Wolves turn around and get smoked by the 76ers. Classic Wolves basketball. This week, Tom and Josh recap both post-All-Star break games, break down what Ant's All-Star MVP historically means for a player's future, and dig into the Wolves' brutal remaining schedule (third hardest in the league). Plus: Is Cade Cunningham really the best Amer...

We're halfway there and livin' on a prayer that this team figures it out in the second half.

The Wolves hit the All-Star break sitting 6th in the West despite having better talent than last year. What went wrong, and can they turn it around?

We break down Julius Randle's ridiculous All-Star snub (1000 pts, 250 rebs, 250 ast - only 7 players hit that, all All-Stars except him), recap the wild first-half storylines from continuity fail...

The Wolves went 1-3 this week despite adding Ayo Dosunmu at the deadline. Tom and Josh break down the team's defensive collapse (29th ranked after being 2nd the week before), Finch's confusing response to Rudy's callout, and why Julius Randle continues to frustrate. Special guest Justin from JTalksHoops joins to give the Bulls fan perspective on Ayo and Julian Phillips - what the Wolves are really getting in this deal. Plus: trade ...
