On today’s pod, Jack Borman (Canis Hoopus) joins me live from Target Center to pick apart the dismantling that was the Minnesota Timberwolves loss to the Washington Wizards. We dig into why the D’Angelo Russell Experience has thus far been rough, and what needs to change.
We also discuss what other adjustments need to be made for this Timberwolves team to remain somewhat competitive in Karl-Anthony Towns’ absence, including:
Figuring out how to synergize Russell and Ricky Rubio
Why the lack of frontcourt size is leading the Wolves to bleed out defensively
2020-2021 Canis Hoopus Roster Finalized

s that what ya’ll say?), I’ve always yearned for a community to
relate commiserate with. After a few years arguing about Randy Foye on TwolvesBlog.com, I transitioned over to Canis Hoopus a happier place. It was therapeutic to engage in conversations about war vet Anthony Randolph in the comment section as we cruised to yet another sub-20 win season. Eventually, I wanted to know more about the gracious folk who keep this community going. So without further ado.
Dane Moore NBA Podcast: Why Did The Timberwolves Cut Rondae Hollis-Jefferson?

There had to be some reason the Minnesota Timberwolves waived Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, right?
On today’s episode, Jack Borman joins the pod to discuss the value in financial flexibility gained by waiving Hollis-Jefferson, and we weigh that against the value that will be lost on the floor.
How does this move lay the groundwork for a potential PJ Tucker trade?
What sort of hindrance would have Hollis-Jefferson’s contract presented?
What impact would have Hollis-Jefferson made in the Timberwolves rotation?
Who would have/should have Hollis-Jefferson played over if he were still on the team?
Dane Moore NBA Podcast: Where Will The Timberwolves Rank On Offense And Defense This Season?

In the first four years of Karl-Anthony Towns’ career, the Minnesota Timberwolves were an above-average offensive team every season, peaking as high as No. 4 in 2017-18. Defensively, the Wolves were in the bottom 10 of the league all four of those years, bottoming out in KAT’s rookie season at No. 27.
This past season was a different story. For the first time in KAT’s career, the Timberwolves actually had a better defense (No. 21) than offense (No. 24). That, of course, doesn’t tell the whole story. KAT missed nearly half of the season and the roster was overhauled midstream. Interestingly enough, though, when KAT was on the floor last season, the trend continued. With KAT on, the Wolves had what would have been the equivalent of the No. 2 offense and the No. 30 defense.
