The Minnesota Timberwolves hosted the Boston Celtics as part of TNT's first Thursday night doubleheader of 2025. With the Timberwolves off to a rough 17–15 start after going to the Western Conference finals last season, Inside the NBA host Ernie Johnson asked Charles Barkley what he is seeing from Minnesota right now.
Barkley had a whole list of problems for the franchise, starting with the loss of Karl-Anthony Towns. He also took a shot at Rudy Gobert's offense and suggested the team had "screwed up" Naz Reid with the addition of Julius Randle, but his harshest criticism was aimed at Anthony Edwards.
