In this episode of the Daily Delivery, host Michael Rand delves into the Timberwolves’ impressive 106-80 victory against Denver on Monday. Despite playing without Rudy Gobert, the defense was strong and the Nuggets appeared flustered and out of sorts. This unfamiliar feeling of success is bringing joy to Minnesota sports fans, creating a sense of excitement as they lead Denver 2-0 heading into Game 3 at Target Center.
At the 14-minute mark, Jon Marthaler joins the show to analyze Minnesota United’s strong start to the season. Whether it’s strategic changes, solid defense, or positive energy, something feels different about the Loons this year. Even without Emanuel Reynoso, who is currently absent, the team is performing well. The discussion also includes references to mid-2000s Gophers basketball, adding an extra layer of interest for listeners.
At the 34-minute mark, the podcast explores how Twins fans are coping with Comcast dropping Bally Sports North and the implications for their viewing experience.
