Anthony Edwards: “It’s on me, I’ll take the blame for this loss. I came out with no energy at all. I can’t afford to do that for my team. I let my team down, the fans down.” – 12:42 AM

Christian Braun is by far the Nuggets’ best matchup on Anthony Edwards. That’s apparent at this point in the series. Physical, aggressive, sound defense from Braun so far. It’s going to be a huge 2nd half for him. – 10:48 PM

Can we just appreciate Anthony Edwards… for being Anthony Edwards? So much about MJ comparisons, it’s exhausting pic.twitter.com/Wz02A7TOAr – 6:57 PM

“I’ve always been confident. … It’s not cocky, it’s not arrogance. I’m just a confident person.” 🤷
Anthony Edwards sets the record straight.

Much more here from Mike Conley, at @TheAthletic, but his insight on his relationship with Anthony Edwards and the many ways he’s helping him improve was so interesting. Veteran leadership matters…

Anthony Edwards wants to be talked about as “the first Anthony Edwards — not the next Michael Jordan.”
“He maybe got a mix of Michael Jordan in him… but I got a trey ball. That makes me a little different than Michael Jordan.”

When Anthony Edwards hears the words “pocket,” “base” or “box” coming from his player development coach during a game, he knows what he has to do to correct his shot. I spoke with those who work with Ant on how they got his shot to where it is today: startribune.com/timberwolves-g… – 10:29 AM

Anthony Edwards is that dude right now.
Our X’s and Mo’s expert, @MoDakhil_NBA worked with our Timberwolves insider extraordinaire @JonKrawczynski to explain his dominance and incredible highlights.
This is a fun one, worth your time today👇

More on this storyline
Dane Moore: Anthony Edwards on the mood after the game: “There’s no reason to be negative. They won one game, we’re gonna try to win the next game. It’s the first to four games, it’s not the first to one. If it was first one to one, we’d have already won the series. We’ll be alright.” -via Twitter @DaneMooreNBA / May 11, 2024
Edwards called for the comparisons to stop and expressed his belief that while there are some parallels, he also sets himself apart from Jordan in certain areas, including his long-range shooting. “I want people to be like, ‘This Anthony Edwards kid, he’s got his own style. He’s maybe got a mix of Michael Jordan in him,'” Edwards said. “But I’ve got a trey ball, I can shoot the three. So, I think that makes me a little different than Michael Jordan.” -via Bleacher Report / May 11, 2024
Brandon Jennings: “Shai got robbed though for sure. He got robbed; he got snubbed, and it’s going to be hard for him to try to get it next year because they’re pumping in Anthony Edwards and all these other young players. His chance, if he was going to get his chance, was this year.” -via YouTube / May 10, 2024
