Dr. Tom "The Scientist" Haberstroh, Pulitzer Prize Winner Amin Elhassan... and producer Anthony Mayes are in the best podcasting shape of their lives, just in time for the season to begin.
Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic takes us inside the vibe shift in Minnesota upon LaMelo Ball's arrival. Can he and Anthony Edwards turn positive energy into a championship?
We break down their early chemistry, how LaMelo’s playmaking changes Ant’s role, and why the Timberwolves’ front-office future remains an open question.
Plus, Karl-Anthony Towns’ extension drama in New York, Micah Nori’s challenging situation in Portland and what went wrong with Rob Dillingham.
