Anthony Edwards on getting doubled: “That’s not how I want to play, I'm only 23, I don't wanna just be passing the ball all night.”

People underestimate the impact of pressure. Doing it when nobody is really worried about you and doesn't see you coming vs doing it with Pac's best selling album is totally different. T Wolves coulda been a playin team last year or missed the playoffs altogether and nobody woulda batted an eye. Ant got the Mike comparisons and they went to the WCF last so of course expectations went up this year. And this is really the first time that he or this team has had that. Team definitely didn't help him by moving the perfect 4 man for him. Don't know what behind the scenes stuff went on there but you can see the difference even on 2K :russ:.

Ant is still playing with house money, he’s had no “failures” because he’s had no “expectations”. Heading into this season, nobody expected the Wolves to be a challenging for a title. Even if they lose in the WCF, it’ll still be considered a successful season.

We’ll see people’s real feelings about Ant when him carrying Minnesota to deep playoff runs every year becomes the expectation and not the cool surprise :hubie:

Expectations changes everything, only so long you can be the fun young team or fun young star before people start flipping on you because you’re not reaching whatever arbitrary benchmark they’ve placed on you. Ant is only 23, he’s still years away from his prime in all likelihood.

The same shyt talk and honesty that people loved, they now gonna find problems with it

Just nasty. And that’s exactly how the game looks too. Your turn, my turn. Give passable defense but basically let nggas get they shyt off so you can hurry and get back on offense and get yours.

I still ever remember about 5-7 years ago the first time a saw a AAU clip where teams just literally stopped playing defense so they could let each other try out dunks. This wasn’t an all star game it was just a regular game. But it’s like a game of telephone, newer generations slowly get more lax and it slowly creeps its way into the game at all levels, now the highest level. Those unserious 13U and HS kids are now the “faces of the league”

You only in here in your feelings because Tatum’s a Celtic. The NBA doesn’t want to crown Tatum but his jersey sells the 2nd most and he’s like 3rd in All Star voting:comeon:.

Tatum’s been getting hype since the playoffs against the Cavs in 18. You’re acting like they treat the nikka like Mitch Richmond. Stop crying on here all the time

Celtics fans always with the woe is me attitude on here.

This is the thing...when every word or action is parsed and scrutinized. When everything you do is spun as a negative and the reason why you aren't winning until you actually win. And Minny has not proven to be the org that can help with that. And for all his talent, we don't know yet if Ant is truly built for that himself. It's crazy that he would actually be in a better boat rep wise if he put up some nice numbers and the Wolves were one and done. Knocking the champs out and having a comparable complexion to the GOAT (he does not look like that man :pachaha:) is actually working against him now.

bu-bu-but he had to go to MJ to learn about the basics.

You're such a lame.

You don't fool anyone with your fake keyboard militant bullshyt. You shyt on every single Black player in today's game to protect the past. In the past 1-2 weeks, these are all the players who've been at the center of your vitriol:

Ant
Bron
Jimmy Butler
Ja
Dray
Steph
Keyonte George
Patrick Williams
Kawhi (all because he wanted to be with his family)
You even called Monty Williams a terrorist.

There's a common theme here.

:mjpls:

The guy who said players in the 80s weren't that skilled, can't pass, can't move without the ball, and can't read the defense

Keep whining bytch :banderas:

Self-hating weirdo alert.

Keep trying to fool these folks that you're pro-Black, when you'll quickly throw that shyt out the window to protect the past.
