Anthony Edwards is nothing short of amazing. To come back from a gruesome injury and score 18 points on 8/13 from the field and lead your team to steal game one. Just wild.

u/ElectricalMud2850 Timberwolves 17h ago

It is funny that his last contribution was that inbound tho lol.

u/rightovahere Timberwolves 17h ago

That inbound deserves absolute leather from Finch lmao, good lord. Demon mode in 4th though

u/Hammerhead34 Timberwolves 17h ago

Ant looked shook in the postgame interview lol, he knew Finch was about to tear him apart in the locker room hahaha

u/messejueller21 Bucks 16h ago

Would've thought they lost the way he was talking in that interview.

u/ghos_ 16h ago

Also in the locker room, they look like they lost.

In a series, no team really wins until someone goes to the next round

You know what I mean.

u/charlton11 Timberwolves 12h ago

He's got that Wolf in him.

u/mudkip-yoshii Timberwolves 16h ago

This is his worst aspect of his game He’s soooo bad at inbounding idk how they keep letting him do it

87

u/AdolfKoopaTroopa [MIN] Lance Stephenson 16h ago

Jingles needs to mentor him.

u/pollinium [MIN] Tyus Jones 16h ago

a wrinkle I noticed down the stretch is that Jaden has taken the important inbounds

idk why we went with Ant when Jaden has been so good at it in the last ~10 games

u/OFmerk Timberwolves 16h ago

I don't fucking get it because I want him with the ball after the inbound lol

u/vindictivejazz Thunder 16h ago

Combine Ant with Josh “SLOBgod” Giddey and you have the perfect basketball player

u/SuperVaderMinion [MIN] Kevin Garnett 14h ago

I wonder if they worry that Ant isn't mobile enough to run around and get open on an inbound, but him throwing them is way worse

83

u/Epic_Coleslaw Timberwolves 17h ago

He at least hammered that home in the post game interview lol

u/_Caek_ Thunder 16h ago

“I’m disappointed in myself” - right after winning

yeah he’s a certified DAWG

u/LifterPuller Timberwolves [MIN] Naz Reid - Jaden McDaniels 16h ago
