Krawczynski: When the Timberwolves went to halftime, they learned that Embiid had 59 points through three quarters in Philly against San Antonio. Players were buzzing as they came back to the court, asking assistant coaches for updates on where Embiid finished, so they could help Towns surpass it.

Ugh this is so embarrassing
This is why people still don’t take the Wolves seriously
Don’t embarrass the game or the game will embarrass you.
Maturity remains a huge problem for the team, I respect the cohesiveness of the team, but we gotta remember when our priorities lie game to game.
Yeah we were not serious
Lesson learned … this should be a humbling moment for the entire team and hopefully a launch point that we can all look back on.
We’re a professional basketball team?? Fucking hell man.
Nice guys! Going for an individual accolade instead of the W when you barely have a lead in the West! Good stuff!!
We will finish 5th or 6th seed, lose in 5 first round to whoever
Wolves did the same 2 years ago to pad 50 points for Ant. Spurs almost came back, they just missed some shots in 4th unlike the Hornets. At the end when Spurs were intentionally fouling, Wolves forced the inbound to Ant and turned it over because Sours doubled him knowing Wolves are trying to pad his stats.
Didn’t Ant say they wanted to get KAT to 100 pts, crazy lol
Anyone who watched saw this. Passed up lay ups for kick outs to try and get the ball to kat. It was pretty noticeable
Fuck it, we play 82 games, this one game isn’t the end of the world like many reacting.
I mean if anyone was flipping between the two they’d see the Sixers were doing the same thing the Wolves were doing. Difference is Embiid is just that much better than Towns. Embiid was able to sustain the team being solely on his shoulders.
Yikes… we have a team of kids that clearly aren’t taking this serious enough. I hope they get flamed in the national media, because they may need to get embarrassed a bit.
The game was lost when. we started feeding KAT early in the 4th to get over 60, and the Hornets started hitting 3 after 3.
It’s the equivalent of running up the score, and the hornets took that personally. Wolves deserved to lose, that shit is bush league.
Obviously it’s been a great season so far and the team has taking a promising step forward. But man, there is still a *lot* of immaturity in that locker room.
I see nothing wrong with this tbh, towns just fell short while embiid didnt. Sucks that we lost but hey its worth trying to create history its fun
There are 11 teams in the NBA that are younger than the Twolves.
The thing is Joel also gets free throws and kat doesn’t. So even if he does do what he can to inflate his points, he won’t have the advantage to do so because Joel gets 22 of the off free throws. He needs to just be happy with the impact he had last night and make sure to win. He already had 42 at the half
Team is so goddamn corny and lame
Who told them about Embid?
And you can just picture Mike Conley saying “fuck that, win the game!” and getting completely ignored by the low bball IQ contingent.
This loss is not on KAT. If the whole team had focused on defense and feeding KAT they would have won. They lost the second half on defense not offense
Business before pleasure……not here tho. Wolves doing wolf things. Karl still has the brain of a teenager or so it seems.
In the 4th when towns drives and now is attracting 3+ defenders he needs to learn to kick it out to open shooters instead of praying for foul calls. Eventually de will have to spread out and open back up for him
THIS happened because it was about KAT. Everyone treats him like he has special needs, and talks him up, and helps him stat pad. It’s a constant Massaging of Karl’s Ego, only because he Loses His Damn Mind with even the hint of Stress or Insult of Ego(ref’s non-calls).
Team: “We will keep getting the ball to KAT, and get him to 70 or 80 points! It will be great for Karl, and the fans will finally understand just how good he is! KAT is the MVP of this team. It is better to think of this game as KAT’s movie, than an actual basketball game.”
Fans: “This shit again?”
If ANT is going for 50pts, its “Feed Ant.” That’s it. Fans also say “Feed Ant.”
Hopefully the embarrassment will do something the coaches can’t seemingly do. Get thorough to the team that they need to quit fucking around
We lost to the worst team in the NBA. DuhMellow is a fucking idiot and we got clowned
Idc this is hilarious 😭😭😭 love this squad riding it out for KAT
7 turnovers is awful but the rest of the team didn’t do too much to help KAT win
