Don't miss how big TJ Shannon was at the end of OT. Didn't play all game, comes in cold, gets a huge defensive rebound and the game-clinching deflection on the inbounds play. Pretty incredible.

This game is an absolute microcosm of the Julius Randle Experience. He was so, so bad for most of the game. But he's been incredible down the stretch.

Didn't Naz just say "he's moving" ? Did Scott Foster get rabbit ears, hear someone else, and think it was Naz?

Doris Burke with the understatement of the century, re: Alperen Sengun "he's acted a couple of times here"

Great win for the Wolves. Bones was massive early to keep the Wolves in it. Timely shot-making from Ant, Jaden, and Donte down the stretch. A necessary semi-bounceback from Randle, too.

@jamjack1987 That's true. It used to work in part because KAT/Ant were spacing -- given Jaden's 3-point shooting this year that could be palatable.

@bbeecken Tbh I remember that in some weird way Kyle-Rudy pick and roll used to work if surrounded by shooters. I wonder if SloMo still has some midrange/floater game there. Guess we will see

Bonus pod coming today on the SloMo addition. Quick thoughts: hoping for 10-12 mpg at the 5 when Rudy is off. Jaden-Naz-SloMo works well. Can't play him with Rudy or Randle. Can replicate what Randle *should* be doing offensively in those minutes + defense will be important.

Cool to hear a @lockedontwolves shoutout on the Prime broadcast tonight from Brent Barry, followed by @Grady reiterating just how many minutes these starters have played together...

Brent Barry with the shoutout for the Locked on Wolves pod on the Amazon Prime broadcast My man @bbeecken does an excellent job hosting the daily show and I can't recommend it enough for Timberwolves fans trying to be as knowledgable as possible

Hoping he sees backup 5 minutes to help the non-Gobert minutes defensively. Can also replicate more of what Randle provides than one might think in terms of offensive role. Curious to see if he gets actual run in the rotation right away or not.

Kyle Anderson has agreed to a contract buyout with the Memphis Grizzlies and plans to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves after clearing waivers, sources tell ESPN. Anderson spent two seasons with the Timberwolves (2022-24) and gets an opportunity to rejoin the West contender.

The Wolves look like they're taking tonight seriously. (So far. This can change rapidly.)

How many no-pass possessions in a row is that for the Wolves?

@chadrohrs Sure, that's true. But also don't gloss over how bad the defense continues to be with Gobert off the floor. SloMo can help there.

@bbeecken I love SlowMo but I think people need to remember what the offense was like with SlowMo and Rudy on the floor together.
