Edwards played off on ‘terrible’ rehab after loss to Warriors first appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Anthony Edwards shares his feelings about working for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ 113-103 loss to the Warriors on Saturday at the Target Center.
The best guard, speaking to reporters in the Timberwolves locker room after the game, played on referees Sean Wright and Sean Corbin.
“They’re f—–g scary. All of them,” Edwards said. “Besides the woman. But the other two children, terrible. Proof why they called the killer, one reason they didn’t call the killer. They don’t want to talk to my coach, they don’t want to talk. Give me back. .
“They’re just reactive and they’re terrible. They don’t give us (the benefit of the doubt), they punish me and (Julius Randle) for getting stronger every night, don’t get calls. That’s how I feel about All games are made.
Edwards made four personal fouls and shot four free throws, while Randle committed one personal foul but got to the line nine times. Minnesota as a team shot more free throws (25) than Golden State (23), while the refs called more personal fouls on the Warriors (23) than the Timberwolves (18).
Despite officials calling more people in favor of the Timberwolves, Edwards believes that the whistles on Saturday night are a symptom of the great deal he and Minnesota have made with this season.
“Hell yeah, it’s normal every year, but tonight wasn’t good,” Edwards added. “They gave ticky-tack fouls and we got nothing. That’s how I feel about officials. Two dudes, not the woman.”
“I got punished because I was stronger than my opponent. So they gave them the benefit of the doubt. They attacked me the same as they attacked everyone else, and I didn’t get the calls. I don’t know what has to go down, but something has to happen, because the s–t is terrible.”
Edwards was previously fined $40,000 for publicly criticizing government officials in January of last year, and after his comments on Saturday, could face a higher penalty this time around as a repeat offense.
The Warriors, meanwhile, enjoyed a pleasant flight back to the Bay Area.
