Anthony Edwards Criticizes Timberwolves as “Soft” After Sacramento Collapse

Anthony Edwards just dropped a truth bomb on the Timberwolves, and it’s got everyone talking.

Edwards Calls Out the Wolves

Picture this: The Timberwolves are cruising with a 12-point lead against the Kings, and thenโ€”boom!โ€”they implode in the last seven minutes. It’s like watching a bad movie where you already know the ending. That loss stretched their skid to four games, and with the Lakers, Clippers, and a Warriors doubleheader coming up, things aren’t getting any easier.

Anthony Edwards, who was the top dog that night with 29 points, five dimes, and five boards, didn’t sugarcoat it. He called his squad “soft as hell,” and honestly, I think heโ€™s onto something. He wasnโ€™t just pointing fingers at his teammates; he included himself in the critique. Talk about accountability.

Team Chemistry or Lack Thereof

Edwards didnโ€™t stop there. He went on to say, “Weโ€™re like a bunch of little kids out there.” Ouch. But hey, sometimes the truth hurts. The dude’s rightโ€”communication is key, and it sounds like the Wolves are struggling to even talk to each other. Itโ€™s like theyโ€™re playing a game of telephone and nobodyโ€™s getting the message.

And speaking of messages, did you catch that wild Curry rumor? Anyway, Edwards thinks the teamโ€™s lack of cohesion is why they’re ignoring coaching plays. Everyone’s got their own game plan, and itโ€™s showing in the L column.

From Conference Finals to Playoff Doubts

Remember last season when the Wolves were tearing it up in the Western Conference Finals? Yeah, me too. But now, theyโ€™re looking more like a team that might not even sniff the playoffs. According to NBA sportsbooks, their odds are slipping faster than a player on a wet court.

Edwards summed it up perfectly: “Weโ€™re growing apart, and itโ€™s obvious. Everyone can see it.” Man, it’s like watching a band break up over creative differences. The chemistry that got them so far last year is fading, and they better figure it out before itโ€™s too late.

So, what do you think? Can the Timberwolves pull it together, or are they doomed to keep sliding down the standings?
