Anthony Edwards on Wolves: 'We’re just growing away from each other. It’s obvious'

“However many of us it is, all 15, we go into our own shell and we’re just growing away from each other. It’s obvious,” Edwards said. “We can see it. I can see it, the team can see it, the coaches can see it. The fans … booing us. That … is crazy, man. We’re getting booed in our home arena.”Source: Minneapolis Star-Tribune What’s the buzz on Twitter?

I hate to have frontrunners or to think we have frontrunners on the team. I don’t think we have any of those. It look like we was frontrunners tonight, 100%.” Then he added: “We was down, nobody wanted to say nothing. We got up and everybody cheering. … We get down again and don’t nobody say nothing. That’s the definition of a frontrunner. We as a team, including myself, we all was frontrunners tonight.” -via Minneapolis Star-Tribune / November 28, 2024 “We soft as hell as a team, internally.
