Anthony Edwards explains why he dapped up the Spurs with 8 minutes left:
“Yeah it’s 8 minutes but we not going back in the game. When you win a playoff series everybody is celebrating at the end of the game. They’ll be smiling while I’m pissed off. I was like ‘let me go ahead and congratulate these boys because I’m not going to be laughing with y’all after you whooped my ass.’ I didn’t want to go dal them n***** up at all. But then what would they have said About me? That’s why I’m me and y’all are whoever y’all are.”

This is what I can’t stand about these old school coaches! You’re in a winnable playoff series and you’ve lost your franchise player to injury and a key rotational player as well but you’ve pick now to send a message to your 2nd best athlete on the team? Ok he missed an assignment sit him down a few minutes explain what he did wrong and put him right back on the floor? By benching him in a playoff series you destroy his confidence! He’s still developing give the kid a break! Terrible!!!
My barber told me that he doesn’t think Luka is hurt at all and that they just wanted to rest him/let him visit his kids. I didn’t believe him but it turns out my barber knows ball. Luka probably comes back Game 2 at the latest.
Nickeil Alexander-Walker on his favorite Anthony Edwards moment while in Minnesota:
"Semi-Finals Game 7 [vs Denver]... we go on an insane run like we're down 20 or something, and there was this one guy sitting courtside who was talking crazy to everybody the whole game, and he hits a three... points at him and said 'where you at, where you at n****'.
In the moment this three is putting the game away now. The entire gym silent. Like you don't hear no one from Denver. You hear our entire bench and just Ant yelling at some 50-year-old guy from Denver."
