Jim SouhanGuestTodd BergethHostTheir season actually opens tonight against the Miami Heat, and, uh, more specifically about the season opener tonight, Jim, this is a good test for the Timberwolves who are going kinda Timberwolves light this year in terms of bigs up front.
'Cause there's a couple of bigs in Miami with Giannis and Bam that are gonna be pretty tough to match up two guys against.
I think they're b- they're kinda des- this is kind of a desperation move to hope that Bam and, uh, Giannis can carry this team.
I think they're a, you know, playoff team, but not a top four or five team in the East.
