The Minnesota Timberwolves squandered Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals against the Dallas Mavericks on Friday, prompting some fans to blame star Anthony Edwards.
“Motherf—er! You can’t f—ing guard me!” as captured on the TNT broadcast. Doncic’s fierce words, delivered with a menacing snarl reminiscent of Kobe Bryant, went unanswered by Gobert.
“It was a rough film session,” Finch said. “I told the guys, ‘It’s been a long time since I’ve been this disappointed in your effort. Your performance, attitude, application, and attention to detail just weren’t there.’ The Western Conference Finals started. Not sure if they got the memo, but they got it this afternoon.”
Kevin Garnett has been very impressed by Kyrie Irving this season. On the Stephen A. Smith Show, Garnett noted that Irving poses a significant threat to the Minnesota Timberwolves and exudes a spirit similar to Kobe Bryant.
