He’s a rookie and looks like it tonight. Expect a lot of it throughout season. He will have great moments too.

The problem is the Wolves almost have to get a win tonight and can't afford to let him tank the game.

KAT keeps falling and scaring me.

Probably out of shape, missing two weeks out of the gate is rough to make up.

Edwards needs to be isolated.

He doesn’t have the experience to dribble in traffic like that yet.

Very entertaining first half of basketball. Timberwolves actually look like a respectable NBA team out there.

Can definitely win this game. Need more Jarred Vanderbilt with Towns. Ricky Rubio having a solid bounce back game.

Man, we're down 2? Feels like we played amazing and should be up 15.

Much better play from us but we are a very sloppy team. Going to be about fine-tuning and learning to play together all season, we are pretty behind the 8-ball when it comes to cohesion. Spurs have far more poise.
