"I’m going to get fly as hell to where they can’t stop me," said Edwards, as he embraces what's ahead for him in his sixth NBA season.

“I want them to say he was unstoppable.”
What that pursuit means for him and the Timberwolves

Continuity was supposed to help Timberwolves. So why do they keep collapsing?

Dillingham’s defense might actually be the best thing about his game right now. That’s where he’s most disruptive

Well that was a pretty gross quarter of basketball from the Wolves. A lot of individual play. Ant's shooting slump continues. He's 5-19 and 1-8 from deep.
Naz is the only one acquitting himself well. 28 points on 11-17

These are not good teams the Wolves are playing, so it's hard to evaluate. But man, they are smoking these fools on a pretty nightly basis.

On the Addison throw, it's POSSIBLE that McCarthy expected the WR to peel out to the sideline rather than go to the flag. So it COULD have been miscommunication. The Jets throw was just bad. Gotta be better.

Edwards and DiVincenzo have really struggled tonight. Hard to beat a good team when your starting backcourt plays like this.
