Shannon Sharpe claims Minnesota needs to add consistent scoring and another shooter to help lighten the load for Anthony Edwards.

“I think the thing is is that they need more scoring. They need consistent scoring. They need somebody that Ant-Man that can absorb some of these double teams from Ant-Man.”

Joe Johnson claims the addition of LaMelo Ball is a step in the right direction for Minnesota's goal of pleasing Anthony Edwards.

“Now, I know they want to do anything they can, bro, to to please Ant-Man and try to keep him around. I think this is a step in the right direction.”

The coaching staff made a smart decision to bring Anthony Edwards off the bench to manage his minutes and allow the team to find a rhythm.

“I honestly I think you got to give Minnesota the credit. The coaching staff, that was smart. I love the way they did it with Anthony Edwards bringing them off the bench. So he that forces you now to play him only 25 30 minutes you knew he couldn't play a full game.”

He insists that Rudy Gobert must be the difference-maker for the Timberwolves in the series against the Spurs.

“I think the person for the Wolves that needs to make it happen every single night for the series to to to to go in their favor would be the most ideal candidate that nobody else wants to be and that would be Rudy Gobert.”

Charles Oakley believes the Timberwolves are playing with better focus compared to last season and are well-coached.

“Um, I think that, you know, watching Minnesota, you know, this year from last year, I think they most focused. Uh, Ant-Man just showing the world of how great he going to be, you know, during his continue in the NBA. But you got to give the coaching staff a lot of credit.”

Minnesota should adjust their offensive strategy to move the ball more effectively and prevent stagnation.

“Minnesota got to move the ball and they got to change their offense a little bit.”
