The Timberwolves are only six months removed for a Western Conference Finals appearance, but you wouldn’t know it and Anthony Edwards has gotten candid about the team’s struggles.
The team’s 115-104 loss to the Kings on Wednesday night marked the team’s fourth straight L. It puts them at 8-10 on the season and 2-7 in their last nine.
Edwards was pretty blunt towards reporters after the final buzzer.
“Y’all wanna talk to me? What you wanna know, why we’re trash?,” Ant told reporters after the game, via Christopher Hine.
It seems as though the Wolves are missing forward Karl-Anthony Towns and have lost some of their flow since he was traded to the Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.
Edwards went on to tell reporters he feels like the team has been growing apart, they can’t talk to each other anymore and that everyone has their own agenda at the moment.
“We got up and everybody cheering and f*cking hype,” Edwards said, via Hine. “We get down again and don’t nobody say nothing. That’s the definition of a frontrunner. We as a team, including myself, we all was frontrunners tonight. It was some bullsh*t, for sure.
…. Just a bunch of little kids. Just like we playing with a bunch of little kids. Everybody, the whole team. We just can’t talk to each other. And we’ve got to figure it out, because we can’t go down this road.”
Edwards seemed to be very upset about the lack of communication amongst the team.
“I think it’s we soft as hell as a team, internally,” Ant said. “Not to the other team, but internally, we soft. We can’t talk to each other.”
No doubt it is troubling times in Minnesota right now. And things don’t get any easier with the team’s next two games against the two LA teams.
