Towns is cooking, so what does Anthony Edwards do? Dribble the air out of the ball and kill Minnesota's momentum.

Horrendous decision making, keep the **** ball moving.

I dont understand how do you allow ant to dribble the ball for 20 seconds off the shot clock. It's poor coaching. Ant needs to get better at moving the ball quickly.

KAT is way past due, he had to progress to the mean at some point

Edwards needs to get the ball-hog criticisms 80’s MJ got

It’s honestly absurd how much credit the crew gives Edwards. They credited him for that 8-0 run when the only thing of substance he did was a layup in transition.

No if KAT had a brain he would arguably be an all-time great.

His talent can't be questioned. It's the decisions that hold him back. A 22 yr old Ant is the leader of your team. That should tell you all you need to know about KAT.

It leads to the rest of the team just standing around, just bad basketball.

Was Ed trash talking Edwards there as he stood in disbelief on the obvious travel call?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Seems like this will be similar to last night where Minn/Ind keep it close, but collapse at the end.

McDaniels really needs to get into the gym in the offseason on offense. He seems like he doesn't know what he wants to do from possession to possession. Needs to figure out a go-to move because obviously playing next to Ant and KAT isn't going to allow you to do everything, but I never know what to expect from him when he touches the ball. Does he want to shoot? Does he want to swing it? Does he want to drive? Post?

he cant be all time great when he is not a good defender and also not making his teammates better... his ceiling is KD but less scorer....problem with KD and KAT is you dont instantly become all time great when you are just tall.

That's a big play. 5th on Towns. Tech on Finch. Will they review the elbow too?

Towns is the biggest knucklehead in the entire NBA.

How do Wolves fans not want to pull their hair out watching this guy? What an idiot.

Towns may be the dumbest player in the league.
