He did get blown out last year in the last game against the Mavs

God Damn did Minny shat the bed.
Golden State would have gotten maybe 2 games.

OKCs size would have been too much and Golden State turns the ball over a lot too

Going to be a good off-season for Ant.

Who has to have the better off-season, Ant or Luka?

You wouldn’t guess the Wolves have 5 blocks and three steals.

Of course the Thunder have 9 steals so

Nah OKC won. Giddey hasn't proven that he is foundational player yet


Caruso got the Bulls the PG they needed. OKC got the player who makes their defense special.

Caruso is a special role player but he was leaving if he was traded.

i cant help but feel like when your #1 and #2 guys are -28 and -27 at the half, its a bit of a bad sign.

Feel bad for Anthony Edwards. I am one of his bigger critics on the Minnesota forum, but he's about to get scorched online when this really isn't his fault. The talent disparity is massive, Minnesota has forgotten how to hit open shots, and other players have completely quit.

He went home like a whipped dog last off season. Ant has not been effective.

The TWolves don't have the offensive talent & I wouldn't say Ant is a "fraud" but I do think the media overrates/overhypes him and I really do love Ant, he's probably the most charismatic player in the league...

But they act like he's competing for "face in the league" when he really hasn't done anything close to the top 4 players in the league (ie/ Jokic, Giannis, SGA & Luka) and his numbers are more on par with the fading superstars who obv aren't producing quite like they used to (LBJ & KD...Steph is still a slight notch ahead imo). But he is still so young ie/ Shai averaged 24ppg at the same age Ant is putting up 27ppg, so gotta keep that in mind although SGA erupted the next year to 30+ppg.

I just wouldn't be too quick to write him off and the TWolves' roster really isn't on par with OKC to be fair.

Anyone who thinks Ant Man will leave the Wolves for the Lakers in a few years is a delusional nuffie.

He wants to be the face of the league and star of his own team, not share the limelight with the Fat Slob from Slovenia

Hopefully he stays at Minnesota but if he did leave, teams like Miami, New York, maybe Brooklyn etc would be much more likely destination's

For the T-Wolves offseason, they have to cut ties with Randle, pay Reid and fix their bench.
BIRD UP!

Edwards needed to show up last game. This was a wake.

Chris Finch already lost in thought over his imminent “white lotus” summer vacation in Sicily.
