Anthony Edwards Gets Real on Timberwolves’ Struggle Amidst 4-Game Skirmish

The Timberwolves are just six months removed from a Western Conference finals appearance, but you wouldn’t know it and Anthony Edwards has been vocal about the team’s struggles.

The team’s 115-104 loss to the Kings on Wednesday night marked the team’s fourth in a row in L. Made it 8-10 this season and 2-7 in the last nine.

Edwards was rude to reporters after the final speech.

“Do you want to talk to me? What do you want to know, why are we trash?,” Ant told reporters after the game, via Christopher Hine.

It looks like the Wolves are missing forward Karl-Anthony Towns and have lost their flow since being traded to the Knicks for Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo.

Edward went on to tell reporters that he feels that the group is growing apart, that they are no longer talking to each other and that everyone has their own goals at the moment.

“We woke up and everyone was happy and excited,” Edwards said, via Hine. “We went down again and no one said anything. That is the definition of a leading man. As a team, myself included, we were all on top tonight. It was bullsh*t, for sure.

…. Just a bunch of little kids. Just like we play with a group of small children. Everyone, the whole team. We just can’t talk to each other. And we have to find it, because we can’t go down this road.”

Edwards seemed frustrated by the lack of communication between the group.

“I think we’re soft as a team, internally,” Ant said. “Not in the other team, but internally, we are softening. We can’t talk to each other.”

There is no doubt that these are tough times in Minnesota right now. And things don’t get any easier with the team’s next two games against two LA teams.
