What's worked for the Minnesota Timberwolves through 3 games + Wolves-Nuggets tonight

The Minnesota Timberwolves are just 1-2 in the young season and suffered a horrific collapse last time out, but there are still a few positives to highlight. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down what we can hang our hat on early in the season, from Rudy Gobert to the defense, to an area in which the Wolves struggled mightily over the past two seasons but are dominating thus far this year. Also, a preview of the Wolves' matchup against the defending champion Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night.</p><br /></p><h3>Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!</h3><br /></p><strong><u>PrizePicks</u></strong></p>Go to <a href="https://www.prizepicks.com/podcast?&utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=PodcastAds&utm_campaign=100depositmatch&utm_content=LockedOnNBA&utm_term=LOCKEDONNBA?invite_code=LOCKEDONNBA">PrizePicks.com/lockedonnba</a> and use code lockedonnba for a first deposit match up to $100!</p><strong><u>Gametime</u></strong></p>Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNBA for $20 off your first purchase.</p><h3><u>FanDuel</u></h3>Score early this NFL season with FanDuel, America’s Number One Sportsbook! Right now, NEW customers get ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS in BONUS BETS with any winning FIVE DOLLAR MONEYLINE BET! That’s A HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUCKS – if your team wins!  Visit <a href="https://www.fanduel.com/lockedon">FanDuel.com/LOCKEDON</a> to get started.</p><br /></p><strong><em>FANDUEL DISCLAIMER</em></strong><em>: 21+ in select states.

Whiplash collapse sends Minnesota Timberwolves to horrendous loss vs. the Atlanta Hawks

The Minnesota Timberwolves led by 21 points in the third quarter but fell apart at the seams as they went down in defeat to Dejounte Murray and the Atlanta Hawks. Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) attempts to parse what the biggest issues were; from Chris Finch's timeout usage (or lack thereof) and substitution patterns to stagnant offense and poor defensive effort, there was plenty of blame to go around. How much of this is carryover from last year's ongoing issues, and how much of it should we be legitimately concerned about?</p><br /></p><h3>Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!</h3><br /></p><strong><u>PrizePicks</u></strong></p>Go to <a href="https://www.prizepicks.com/podcast?&utm_source=Podcast&utm_medium=PodcastAds&utm_campaign=100depositmatch&utm_content=LockedOnNBA&utm_term=LOCKEDONNBA?invite_code=LOCKEDONNBA">PrizePicks.com/lockedonnba</a> and use code lockedonnba for a first deposit match up to $100!</p><strong><u>Gametime</u></strong></p>Download the Gametime app, create an account, and use code LOCKEDONNBA for $20 off your first purchase.</p><h3><u>FanDuel</u></h3>Score early this NFL season with FanDuel, America’s Number One Sportsbook! Right now, NEW customers get ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS in BONUS BETS with any winning FIVE DOLLAR MONEYLINE BET! That’s A HUNDRED AND FIFTY BUCKS – if your team wins!  Visit <a href="https://www.fanduel.com/lockedon">FanDuel.com/LOCKEDON</a> to get started.</p><br /></p><strong><em>FANDUEL DISCLAIMER</em></strong><em>: 21+ in select states.

The most concerning issue for the Minnesota Timberwolves isn't the offense + Wolves-Heat keys

The Minnesota Timberwolves offense was horrific in the loss to the Toronto Raptors in the season opener, but that isn't the most concerning early-season issue.

Ben Beecken (@bbeecken) breaks down the good and the bad from the season opener. From the Wolves' surprisingly impressive rebounding performance and the Karl-Anthony Towns-centric offensive sets (good!) to the lack of ball movement in the half-court offense and miserable transition defense (bad!), it's all covered on the Postgame Podcast.</p><br /></p><h3>Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!</h3><br /></p><strong><u>Dave</u></strong></p>Dave is the banking app that’s leveling the financial playing field.  Download Dave today at <a href="https://dave.com/extra-cash-advances?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=lockedon&utm_campaign=lockedonnba">Dave.com/LOCKEDONNBA</a>.
