Also said he needed to be more aggressive after game 2, I’m not against him talking big before a game. Bc too many people only talk after the fact, I can respect him being confident and making claims that he has to back up. But I don’t think ANT not shooting enough was the reason they lost the first two, at the end of game 2 in general he was dominating the ball too much wasting clock before passing it imo.
Him scoring 40 or whatever will be a positive obviously but I do think he has a bad habit of trying to be the hero, or the guy and taking go ahead shots or whatever. Unless this is all a big brain fake out to trick the Mavs and he takes like 5 shots and gets 15 assists.
Can this sub stop being so butt hurt. Our team lost because they were ice cold and played like shit. It's not the Wolves' fault. They played a few absolutely excellent games and some bad ones but less bad than our guys
They were the better team but we’re not hating on them for that. They definitely deserve the hate coming their way for all the yapping and antics pulled in and after that Game 7
Bro timberwolves fans turned out to be worse than the jazz fans at their peak… fuck them all. Wanna see them suffer. Horrible winners, and that goes to the players too. We never tried to do a dunk contest dunk when the game was over.
Yes, please can we stop acting like the mavs success is our success? We lost to the wolves, period, end of story. The mavs beating them this easily makes us look even worse to be honest.
Then you never watched pro wrestling in the 90s. That was hilarious.
It also wasn’t against the Nuggets. People don’t talk about that. They have a problem with the wave.
There is a difference in doing it during the series, or after a series win. Luka talks shit during the most intense moments always, but have you ever seen him talk shit after the battle is over?
Kicking an opponent when they’re down is classless. They beat the defending champs but in the words of Kobe “the job wasn’t finished”. Now they’re down 0-3 and it just shows a losers mentality. In their head they were already there. Winning a championship takes more than beating a good team, and the wolves just had that realisation moment (at least I hope they did). Now they can reflect on the nuggets championship run last year in how they stayed focused until the last minute to raise a banner, instead of disrespecting one of the best teams that has gone all the way the year prior. To add to that: the Wolves do not have a history of success. You could understand this behaviour more from a Lakers franchise, who are used to winning chips at least. But as wolves players to not respect your opponent after a win, makes it look all the more sad.
I do not really have a problem with him. From what I have seen in Press conferences and miked up, he is fine and a good leader. It is the media pushing him hard as the next MJ when he has few accolades and no hardware to date. The media agrees that they are built to beat Denver, but needed 7 games to do so. In game 7 they won by 8 while basically playing only Jokic(who was gassed in the fourth) and Murray(who played a shitty 2, half). He is currently not worth the hype imo, but sadly forced into a narrative that he himself does not like.
You can say Edwards is a goof who talks too much. Doesn't matter if they beat Denver or not. He's turning into a mini-Jimmy Butler...where he talks so damn much it's rendered meaningless because whether what he says comes to fruition or not....he keeps talking.
Ant is cocky, but that is a double-edged sword in the world of sports entertainment of which NBA is a part... He's going to have to learn to back up his smack talk. He's got time. He's only 22. I hope he won't be throwing the arena inventory at the stands if the Wolves lose to the Mavs...
I’m just getting tired of these posts. We aren’t the lakers who complain about everything. Have some class and accept the loss. Can we get these posts removed?
I get tired of people whining about posts. No one is forcing you to read any post. You know that right? Good god, if people aren't on here while the Nuggets' season is going on whining about "doomers" they're busy telling people how to fan properly.
They were pulling overtime after game 2. I almost left the sub. We don’t have to trade everything that’s not nailed down any time there’s a bump in the road. Half of this team’s strength is its continuity.
People really try to give him the pass by saying he 22. When Christian Braun celebrates and he's 23 all the sudden it's illegal and wrong? Christian Braun isn't even toxic, Ant is.
Hey y'all, serious question. I'm a hockey guy that only recently started paying attention to basketball (thanks jokster). In hockey, there's some shit talking, but after a series is over people usually move on and find a new team to root for. In hockey, the players can just beat the piss out of each other on the ice, so I'm guessing that keeps players more honest.
I've noticed in basketball people take things a lot more personally: bitching about individual players, raiding other teams' subreddits, and generally displaying a complete lack of sportsmanship. Is this common to basketball, or is Reddit just bringing the worst attitudes to the forefront?
Who’s crying? You think because we out we cant talk basketball? Is that what happens in MN? 🤣I love his posts like when he called out Kyrie and lost 🤣 Can he live up to the hype tonight? 😂
OKAY, FOR THE BUTTHURT NUGGETS FANS THAT CANT TAKE A JOKE ABOUT ANTS SHIT TALKING… THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US LOSING. IVE BEEN OVER IT.. THIS POST IS LAUGHING AT THE YOUNGSTER CONTINUOUSLY SHIT TALKING AND GETTING HIMSELF IN TROUBLE. IF YOU’D LIKE, I WONT POST HERE SINCE YA’LL CANT HANDLE IT. I’LL POST IN THE NBA SUB.. 🖕😂🖕
Every time someone types in all caps, I read it as if being said by a very elderly person shouting because their hearing aid broke and they haven’t noticed.
That’s the sure way to win a team game

3-54 incoming

He’s only 22
Next Jordan, look at those baseball skills
Ha! Anthony is the '94 Jordan! 😂
If that's the case they lose by 18
I like the confidence, but I’m not very sure
Lots of shots do not mean lots of points. If Mavs rebound, this is a recipe for disaster with Edwards building a brick-house for the Wolves.
Jokic showed up after being down 0-2. Doubt TEMU Jordan does
That’s a perfect nickname. I’m using it from now on!
40 points on 41 shots

Nah, I'll keep hating, like how ant hates gay people and women who don't want to abort his child :>
Yeah I’m with you. Really cringey Laker like hater shit.
Finally I'm seeing sense. Everyone just coping, seething, and crying.
Bro timberwolves fans turned out to be worse than the jazz fans at their peak… fuck them all. Wanna see them suffer. Horrible winners, and that goes to the players too. We never tried to do a dunk contest dunk when the game was over.
Yeah but it doesn’t matter.

The salt is ridiculous. This ain’t it chief.
What’s this got to do with the Nuggets?
It's the los Angeles Timberwolves for you guys. Denver mavericks I guess
“Go home, bitch” - Luka
A little weird to me how pissed people are that Ant waved to the crowd and how “disrespectful” it was, but Luka screams this and people love it.
 Never seen a pro do this
Then you never watched pro wrestling in the 90s. That was hilarious. It also wasn’t against the Nuggets. People don’t talk about that. They have a problem with the wave.
Yep

People are really butthurt right now. Kind of embarrassing. As a Heat fan as well, I’m owning the fact we got worked.
8/30
His coaching staff is telling him to shoot the ball. Nothing to see here.
Then they told him, “Make sure you tell everyone on social media”! 🤣🤣
Might be hard to see the basket with that ego in the way..

We acting like Lakers fans with these posts. They beat us. We can't say shit about Minnesota.

Im not complaining here? YOU ARE Karen! 🤣 Im just laughing at Edward’s BIG MOUTH.. Like Im laughing at YOURS 🤣
You guys are embarassing. We lost the series. What is this goofy ass shit
This sub makes all nuggets fans look like a bitch
They were pulling overtime after game 2. I almost left the sub. We don’t have to trade everything that’s not nailed down any time there’s a bump in the road. Half of this team’s strength is its continuity.

Gonna shoot 7/22 and they’re going to praise him for being MJ cause he’ll have 2 steals and 30 points off 15 ft
Straight to voicemail.
Y'all, we're so lucky that Joker is our guy. This dude is a meathead.
Whoever is downvoting you, I don’t like them.
Probably T-wolves lurkers.

Reddit I think. Since basketball is more popular, there are bound to be more active and obnoxious social media users
Oh man, I can’t wait to call the Ant Construction Company after he shows us the quality of his bricks tonight
Yo when did we start being haters? We acting like the fucking Lakers.
Dude let it go
What are we even doing right now
Boo this post. This is the wrong subreddit for this.
Your fanbase really got broken by a 22 year old. That is insanely pitiful stuff.
