  • great take on t-wolves

    Dave Sinykin's 360 perspective on the T-wolves and how likely it is they've elevated themselves to the next level makes a lotta sense. And his partner, TT, provides the NBA insider's take as a former teammate of MJ and 3-point shot maker par excellence.

    Would really like to like the show but its cringeworthy.
