Anthony Edwards gets his money’s worth with referee criticism

Edwards complained repeatedly regarding the officiating in Minnesota’s 107-101 win over the Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder Jan. 29. First, he referred to as out the referees in his postgame interview, earlier his criticism by declaring he’d “take the large, because of the refs didn’t give us no calls tonight.”

Even sooner than his interview, Edwards is likely to be heard after the game using vibrant language to clarify the officers.

Edwards moreover referred to as the referees “unhealthy” and “horrible” and complained that the Timberwolves wanted to play “8-on-5.”

Did he have some extent? Perhaps. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shot 16 free throws in that sport by himself, better than Minnesota’s full employees (Edwards took 4 free throws). He moreover audibly slapped Edwards’ arm on a dunk, which wasn’t whistled, and even validated as an correct no-call inside the Last Two-Minute Report.

This infuriated Wolves followers and writers, significantly after referees missed ten calls inside the final two minutes of Minnesota’s loss to Charlotte each week earlier, along with two separate uncalled fouls on Karl-Anthony Cities’ final drive.

Wolves beat writer Jon Krawczynski urged that Edwards could should flop extra sturdy to get a superb whistle.

Coincidentally, in a November meeting between these two teams, SGA drew a foul on Edwards with one in every of many additional egregious flops you may even see all 12 months, that features a gratuitous head snap.

In any case, the other challenge is also that the officers are numb to Edwards yelling “Hey!” nearly any time he heads to the basket.

Probably the referees are sick of Edwards yelling. His large says the NBA acquired uninterested in it, too.
