With new owners Alex Rodriguez and Marc Lore<\/a> atop the franchise, this Minnesota Timberwolves season ushers in a new era. Gone is Glen Taylor, and here to stay are Naz Reid<\/a> and Julius Randle<\/a>. Anthony Edwards is determined to get his teammates beyond the Western Conference Finals<\/a>, and this could be the year.<\/p>\n

There is plenty of buzz surrounding Chris Finch\u2019s roster, though it does need some finishing touches added. We\u2019ll see how much heavy lifting Tim Connelly does prior to the start of the regular season, but that is quickly approaching.<\/p>\n

ASMR fun for MN Timberwolves in schedule reveal<\/p>\n

As has become customary for professional sports teams, schedule releases are just part of the marketing production. It isn\u2019t just about putting the opponents on paper. The entire goal is to be catchy and flashy. It appears the Minnesota Timberwolves got the message.<\/p>\n

The hydraulic press ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) videos have been enjoyable for quite some time. Minnesota incorporated the concept into the way in which their opponents for the 2025-26 season were announced.<\/p>\n

Portland\u2019s roses kicked off the fun with some barbecue to highlight the time spent facing Memphis. The goo from the Magic 8 Ball (Orlando) and crushed philly cheesesteaks (76ers) are really what these videos are all about. The apple execution (Knicks) could have been better, but there was still probably the ability to complete the juicing process.<\/p>\n

I wish we\u2019d have seen the full pressure for the deck of cards (Nuggets) to truly explode, but that was only an appetizer. Among those matchups, one with Denver is scheduled for Christmas Day<\/a>. The Dallas Cowboys helmet (Lakers) being crushed couldn\u2019t be more comical. Somewhere I\u2019m sure a New York Yankees cap was a consideration as well.<\/p>\n

The rocket lego set (Rockets) really didn\u2019t hold up, but breaking through them that easily this year would be nice to see after Kevin Durant chose to go there<\/a> anyways. It\u2019s kind of insulting that the equivalent of a Fun Dog<\/a> was used over beef frankfurter Chicago Dog (Bulls) but the former tastes better anyways.<\/p>\n

Count the churros as a miss for me (Spurs), but the Lucky Charms (Celtics) were a good use of food product. The orange juicing process (Hawks) was better than the apples, but it was just a single offering of the fruit. I expected a bit more aftermath from the Ghiradelli chocolate (Warriors) but the packaging may have kept things contained.<\/p>\n

Crushing Degrassi, and Drake (Raptors) was a great touch. He probably felt a tinge with the Cowboys helmet as well, because the rappers allegiance is always changing and riding high. Minnesota ended the video perfectly as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cCongratulations! But it\u2019s a new season, see you soon\u2026\u201d was the message written in a card crushed to represent NBA Champions Oklahoma City. Minnesota was bounced by the Thunder last season and will be looking to exact revenge.<\/p>\n
