> A frustrated Edwards threw a towel up in the air when coach Chris Finch pulled the starters with 7:52 left in the game, and then left the bench area and went back to the Wolves weight room under the State Farm Arena stands. He declined to speak with media after the game.

> “Ant’s obviously frustrated with the performance, and rightfully so,” Finch said, “but he needs to stay out on the floor and root for his team.”

> “Not like a team that wants to play for the championship,” was center Rudy Gobert’s description of how the Wolves looked. “It didn’t seem like we had any type of energy .. any type of life. … Offensively, it just seems like we were playing an individual sport, and defensively it just feels like there’s not any extra effort. I think the two are connected.”

> “We have another tough game coming up against another team that plays really, really hard and runs full court,” Finch said. “So, we’ve got to regroup. You just kind of view it as just a tough patch in the middle of a season. I mean, obviously, we’ve got to address the things that we see need to be addressed right now, but there’s a lot of basketball left to be played.”

  1. Man, it’s times like this I really wish we had a beloved career timberwolf floor general that was respected and well treated in his tenure here to step in and be a voice of leadership.

    OH BUT WE JUST HAD TO FUCKIN GET DLO

  3. A trade needs to happen at this point. Ant being this fed up basically cements that now.

    We need a fucking PG. Ant is the only guard on the team who pressures the rim. It’s gotta be tiring for him to work as hard as he does to try to score. He’s the best SG in the NBA and we task him with being our PG. Get someone to help this man run the damn offense. Get this man someone who can break down the damn defense.

    We are so reliant on the 3 because nobody else can effectively attack the damn rim. When 3s aren’t falling like tonight we look absolutely pathetic. Donte/Naz/Clark/Conley/Bones went 2/19 from 3.

    Outside of Ant and Randle we shot 6 FTs. That’s pathetic. We need guards who can attack the damn basket.

    Everyone is on the backup big train but a PG is what will make Ants life easier. That should absolutely be priority number 1. With us being in rumors for basically every PG hopefully that actual happens and hopefully sooner rather than later.

  4. If Randle is on this team past the deadline I will have some serious doubts about Tim Connelly building a championship roster

  6. There are two options here.

    You either FINALLY start building a team around your top 5 superstar, who only keeps getting better every season while his team doesn’t,

    Or

    You lose said superstar.

    I’m sorry that a lot of you don’t want to hear this. But those are the options

  7. Every time I watch her off, it’s the same damn thing; we shoot the three, and if it doesn’t go, we only have one player who can score inside the paint besides a couple Randall turnaround jumpers. We need another guy offensively they can go to the hoop.

  10. I’m just over the Randle experiment at this point, too. We need someone who plays defense, can rebound and isn’t an offensive blackhole.

  11. I’ve felt for a while that our real window will open after Gobert’s contract is done. Which fits right in Ant’s prime. Hopefully we can stay competitive enough that Ant won’t be fed up by then. I believe we have Ant locked in for one more year past Rudy, so hopefully we can make the right moves to stay competitive until making a big splash once Rudy’s contract is up.

  12. im rooting for the spurs and wolves this year. If the wolves dont make it i hope the spurs win

  14. I get the supporting cast is ass right now, but this is pretty shitty behavior. I know this sub can’t process Ant critiques well, but pretty poor leadership.
