Anthony Edwards, critical of his game and that of his Minnesota Timberwolves.

In a challenging start to the NBA 2024/25 season for the Minnesota Timberwolves, Anthony Edwards, the young star of the team, has made an unusually honest self-critique about the team's performance and his own mistakes. Following several losses that have exposed deficiencies in their collective game, Edwards pointed out that the team has all the necessary tools and knowledge to win, but they simply are not applying them on the court.

"We have the answers. The coaches give us the answers," Edwards said. "We just aren't executing as a team, from one to fifteen. They tell us every night what we need to do to win the game, and somehow we don't achieve it every night."

Edwards' words reveal his frustration with the team's lack of execution, a criticism that seems to be directed not only at his teammates but also at himself. Instead of pointing fingers at others, he included himself in the assessment by stating that everyone on the team needs to take responsibility and mature. "We have to get back to that. We have to mature, man," Edwards added. This self-critique comes at a time when Minnesota urgently needs answers to improve their performance and solidify their position in the Western Conference.

Julius Randle's Words

On his part, Julius Randle also offered his perspective on the issue, emphasizing that they have already tried to correct their mistakes through practice sessions and video analysis. However, for Randle, real change depends on each player's individual commitment. "We talk about it and practice it every day," Randle said. "It's our responsibility as players. We have to own it, look ourselves in the mirror. We have to fix this. When we decide to do that consistently, we will win games."
