Game ball to Mitchell if they win. He and Bojan were huge. Rest of the team low effort garbage. Frontcourt was awful

[Xiao Yao You]

10 minutes to play and game balls are being distributed. ****in' trolls :roll:

Edwards, who had 18 points on 7-of-16 shooting, said he was telling Towns to be quicker with his decisionmaking (https://www.startribune.com/timberwolves-lose-to-jazz-karl-anthony-towns-anthony-edwards/600125210/) with Bojan Bogdanovic guarding him and not three-time NBA defensive player of the year Rudy Gobert. “I told KAT the best way to beat it — you got to go quick,” Edwards said. “I told him at halftime, you waiting on the double. You’re telling them, ‘Come double me. Now you’re the best player on the floor, they’re taking you out of the game. Then when they double you, they’re not rotating. They staying with me and making everybody else beat you.”

He's not even the best player on his team. It's why the Timberwolves don't suck as much as usual




Edwards said he told Towns it was “disrespectful” to him that Utah was guarding him with Bogdanovic. (https://www.startribune.com/timberwolves-lose-to-jazz-karl-anthony-towns-anthony-edwards/600125210/) He told Towns to play more like Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid, to make decisions quicker and make it harder on the defense. “I told KAT, you catching the ball and you holding it,” Edwards said. “You waiting for the double, telling them to come double me instead of catching it and going. They can’t guard you. … “I tell him every game, every practice. You can shoot the ball, you can handle the ball, you got touch, everything. They can’t guard you, breh. If he just stop waiting on the double team, we would be a way better team.”

“I’m always guarding the best player no matter what. I’m not roaming, it’s no discredit to Royce O’Neale or any of the others on their team, but I’m Defensive Player of the Year. I’m not guarding Royce O’Neale. I’m guarding Mike Conley, I’m guarding Donovan Mitchell, I’m guarding Bogdanovic, you’ve got Rudy Gobert out there guarding [Jarred] Vanderbilt, and every time I hear he’s Defensive Player of the Year.”



Wolves shut down in 2nd half. The real DPOTY gives up 136! Beverley actually one of our resident trolls?:roll:

“Anytime I go against Porzingis, I don’t get no layups,” Edwards said. “I don’t get why we couldn’t finish on Rudy Gobert. He don’t put no fear in my heart.”

Eric Walden: Quin Snyder, on the Wolves’ criticism of Rudy Gobert: “Everybody’s entitled to their views and opinions. From my standpoint, every team’s game plan is based on how to attack Rudy. Or how not to attack Rudy. (https://*********.com/social/) … Sometimes we’re having to find ways to get him involved defensively.”
