Folks, things do not sound like they’re going great for the Timberwolves in Minnesota right now.
After making the Western Conference Finals for the first time in two decades last season, expectations were obviously high for the Wolves this season. But, after four straight losses, including one on Wednesday against the Raptors, it seems like it might be time to revisit the team’s outlook.
Nobody in Minnesota is happy about that. Fans were booing the team off of its homecourt while the Raptors went on a 26-6 run to bring themselves back into the game and win it.
After the game, Anthony Edwards called the entire team out, saying that as a team the Timberwolves were “soft” and played like “frontrunners.”
Ant: "I think it’s we soft as hell as a team, internally. Not to the other team, but internally, we soft. We can’t talk to each other. Just a bunch of little kids."

“I think it’s we soft as hell as a team, internally. Not to the other team, but internally, we soft. We can’t talk to each other. Just a bunch of little kids,” Edwards said.
Sheesh.
Now, to be fair, this isn’t just him holding his teammates’ feet to the fire. He’s taking accountability himself, too. But this is sure to ruffle some feathers in that locker room.
But, knowing Edwards, that’s exactly what he’s trying to do. We’ll see if it works.
