Wolves are out. Spurs in 6. Tom and Josh break down the playoff exit, the offseason questions, and the reasons for hope.

Topics include:

• The Denver win we'll never forget (Ayo's 43, Jaden's smack talk, Rudy shutting down Jokic)
• The Spurs reality check (Wemby is real, and not as ethical as advertised)
• Ant's cagey postgame and what it really meant
• DDV's absence and what it cost us
• Championship habits and the regular-season slide
• The Julius Randle problem and why he might be playing himself off the roster
• Naz Reid to the starting lineup
• Why Tom wants Kyrie Irving (yes, really)
• Reasons for hope: Beringer's flash, TJ Shannon's leap, Ayo as the closer, Bones bringing the joy, Rocco cooking in Iowa
• Spurs vs Thunder and who we're rooting for

Wolves are moving on. Tom and Josh preview Round 2 against the San Antonio Spurs.

In this episode:

What changes when you go from the worst rim protection in the league (Denver) to one of the best (Wemby and the Spurs). Whether the downhill attack that buried the Nuggets still works against San Antonio. Rudy Gobert vs Victor Wembanyama and what that matchup could look like. Ant's status and what the rotation looks like if he's still managing the knee. How Bones and Conley hold up against Spurs guard pressure. Why the every-other-day turnaround favors or hurts the Wolves. Our prediction.

The Wolves are moving on. Tom and Josh break down a Game 6 win in Minneapolis that had no business happening on paper. No Anthony Edwards. No Donte DiVincenzo. No Ayo Dosunmu. No Slo Mo. And the Wolves still ran Denver out of Target Center 110-98 to close the series.

In this episode:

Jaden McDaniels' legacy game (career-high 32 points, 10 boards, 3 assists, zero turnovers in 45 minutes) and the Jamal Murray lockdown job that came with it. Terrence Shannon Jr.'s breakout (24 points, 6 boards, zero turnovers in 35 minutes) and what an Ant–TJ–Ayo athletic core looks like going forward. Rudy Gobert as our Dads and Dunks Series MVP for what he did to Jokic across six games. Naz showing up when the Wolves needed scoring depth. Mike Conley keeping it together with 95 percent of the guard minutes unavailable. Why Denver should be in full panic mode about the Christian Braun extension and the David Adelman experience.

Then a quick look ahead to the Spurs. Wemby in the paint changes everything about how the Wolves will try to score, and we get into it on the next pod as we drop our first-ever double header. Spurs preview pod is up next!
