Has Julius Randle become the Timberwolves’ X-Factor? | The Kevin O’Connor Show
Kevin O’Connor and Tom Haberstroh react to Minnesota’s 11-game win streak and break down the ways Julius Randle has become an X-Factor for the Wolves. The guys also examine Rudy Gobert’s increased intensity on defense against Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets, resulting in five straight wins against Denver. With Donte Divincenzo and Randle’s increased productivity, is it safe to say the Wolves won the Karl-Anthony Towns trade with the Knicks? Are the Timberwolves legit contenders?

We have played well against good teams all season. It is against the bad teams where we have struggled all season. Lol.
Plus that 1st round pistons pick will convey for the wolves from that trade.
We remember the slander. Oh the spacing oh the defense. Eat those words
trade Rudy!
Hopefully can be like Dallas last year, surge from 5th seed to Finals. Wolves didn't add 2 players at trade deadline, but with the Divincenzo and Randle injuries the past 2 months it feels like we added 2 new players since the trade deadline. I'd love the Wolves to get the 6th seed, then rest up and make a run. Timberwolves were worn out by WCF, now they know the need to be rested up.
Any conversation about the Wolves that doesn’t start with Jaden’s jump is missing the point.
Jaden and Donte are difference
CRANDLE keeps killing em
I miss the old KOC. Back when insight and quality mattered more.
I feel like these dudes don’t really know basketball fr 🤷🏿♂️
Lfg timber wolf
Jaden's jump in scoring and rebounding has been a huge reason why they've been winning more. Getting Donte, Randle and Gobert back as well. But you can't forget to mention Jaden along with the younger guys like Clark and Shannon.
Nuggets's kryptonite
Of course they failed to mention that before the schedule got easy they beat the OKC Thunder twice. So what other team has three wins vs the Nuggets and two wins vs the Thunder?
Terrance Shannon initiated this Timberwolves run. It was all jackin up 3’s until he started getting run.. all of a sudden Jaden, Randle and Ant stopped chuckin 3’s!!!
Soft? We just beat the thunder twice..
