Following a fourth straight loss against the Sacramento Kings, frustrated Anthony Edwards<\/a> discussed the locker room problems that plague the Minnesota Timberwolves. This was the second time this season that Ant talked about how the players have to be more responsible and give more effort.<\/p>\n

Anthony Edwards Says the Timberwolves Have Locker Room Problems<\/h2>\n

After their loss against the Kings, Edwards was sitting in the locker room and ready to answer questions. He even started the postgame by asking reporters if they want to know why the team isn\u2019t good. From there, he continued venting on his team. Ant said,<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, our team’s identity is that we are soft as hell internally. Not against the other team, but amongst ourselves. We are soft. We can’t talk to each other. It’s like we’re playing with a bunch of little kids. The whole team. And we have to figure it out because we can’t keep going down this path.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the explosive post-game interview, Ant said that the whole team cannot talk to each other. He also talked about how during the game they do not talk. He said,<\/p>\n

“We look like frontrunners. We’re down, and no one says anything. We get up, and everyone is excited. We go back down, and no one opens their mouth. That’s the definition of a frontrunner. As a team, including myself, we were all frontrunners tonight.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The loss to the Kings highlighted the issues within the Timberwolves. They cannot rally in key moments, and whether that is because of disrupted chemistry following the Karl-Anthony Towns<\/a> trade or something else, they have to figure it out. Ant talked about it, saying,<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever many of us it is, all 15, we go into our own shell and we\u2019re just growing away from each other. It\u2019s obvious. We can see it. I can see it, the team can see it, the coaches can see it. The fans f\u2014\u2013g booing us. That (stuff) is crazy, man. We\u2019re getting booed in our home arena. That\u2019s so f\u2014\u2013g disrespectful, it\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
