@CoVet_81 Look at all the little pea-brain, bootylicking, brain-washed clowns think that he actually is. Super sad. 🤣 🤡

Yes, to at least 77 million voters and climbing 💯

@SeanOhhhh Some of the worst acting we've ever seen. What presidential security is gonna let the president pop his head out of the crowd and shout a few times, with a shooter loose on the grounds??? Horrible.

What a sack of horseshit this was

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA Shiit, I never once said trade Ant. I belive he's gotta tweak his game a bit and keep being a stud. Randle's iso ball game may not a fit with Ant. Unless they both can tweak their games a little to accommodate this athletic team that needs to run.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA How good do you think the team would be without 🐜 vs no Finch? Based on your thoughts the same…… Finch has absolutely no motion in his offense…….

It kinda feels like Bones Hyland has been the best player on the floor in this game -- including Celtics players.

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA Blown the fuk out or not. This roster fuking been there twice in two years. That's experience from the coaches to the players. Learn from the experience and grow.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA Ant is the leader at 24, that pretty young. If they’ve been in the league so long they shouldn’t be repeating the same errors each year. Yippee WCF blown out both times. Why? Offense went stagnant and into turnover mood. Wolves near the bottom in TOs right now. Coaching matters

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA They definitely matter. Nobody says they don't. Coach can't make Ant or Julius pass the ball or do it for them. They are both in love with "iso" ball. I'd sit their fuking ass when selfish ball is so prevalent. NBA doesn't work that way with it's stars.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA Final note: bones sat on the bench for the first 40 until Conley got hurt. Who decision was this? Ant? Other players? Coaching rotations and schemes matter

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA We need to quit pretending they are all that young. Look how many years most of these guys have been in the league. And almost the entire roster in back to back WCF. Finch isn't the greatest coach in the world, but it's also a roster that isn't that young anymore.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA You need to stop ignoring that coaching is important when you have younger players……

@ChristopherHine Is Anthony Edward's going to be able to see from sitting a few weeks that up-tempo basketball is what this team needs, not his grind it out "iso" ball half-court offensive style?

Preparing my newsletter for this week (focus is on Bones!) Send me questions for the mailbag...

@iamisokokid @AdamSchefter Very much loserville to come at it this way & this soon. You got issues.

@AdamSchefter House fire takes Jessi and her kids, devastating, but preventable? Smoke alarms, fire escapes? State of Hockey loves memorials but where’s the prevention talk? Sad, but this is reality check on safety, not just tears.

NHL reporter Jessi Pierce and her three children were killed Saturday in a house fire in Minnesota, the league announced. espn.com/nhl/story/_/id…

@TalkinTwins I like seeing what Orlando Arcia might be able to do.

#MNTwins may be intrigued by the power 30-year-old Tristan Gray has previously shown in the minors. 2022: 33 HR (500 PA, AAA) 2023: 30 HR (525 PA, AAA) 2024: 19 HR (469 PA, AAA) 2025: 9 HR (282 PA, AAA) The light-hitting infielder has not produced much power in the bigs. #MLB

@LaVelleNeal Orlando Arcia could be an interesting player to keep an eye on this season.

The best players don't make Opening Day rosters. The ones with options do.

@DanHayesMLB Move Ober to 4th or 5th starter. He's a liability and been overrated his entire Twins career.

Bailey Ober finished with 81 pitches. His 4-seamer averaged 89.6 mph. His sinker averaged 90.0 mph. But he also allowed 4 ER, 10 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 4 1/3 IP. #MNTwins

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA Ant's assist rate is the lowest since his rookie year. Noticeable. Playmaking is just an area he can work on & I'm sure he will. Ignores open guys that can shoot way too often.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA Actually his TO rate has declined from previous years and with the exception of those three games of 7 he doing much better……

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA We can't blame everything on coaching. If this is a championship caliber team, some if this shit falls on the players & those close to team have said he's stressing pushing the ball in practice, etc....Ant doesn't like that style.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA Coaching ….. the players don’t move to the ball. It’s their fault. they’re watching him…….look at other teams good or bad and how they move without the ball. We just don’t until his absence. This is on Finch 80%, 🐜 20%

@tlschwerz Glad Arcia is staying. Gives the possibility of a little more potential fire power. He's been hitting the ball hard the last few weeks.

With Wagaman and Kreidler optioned, this is looking like the Minnesota Twins Opening Day roster. $104 million payroll with $32+ million of that spent on players not on the team.

@ButtaSports @MnDreamin_3 No, MN fans love Ant, but with him out, fans see where there can be some improving. I'm sure Ant is watching & realizing he needs to buy into a faster pace style & push the ball up the floor more, rather than slow up & play iso ball. Ant's the man, but always ways to improve.

@MnDreamin_3 yeah my feed this morning was filled with people talking about how much better we are without Ant Serious takes too.. I think Ant seeing what these guys can do will make him trust them more and move the ball

Lmao so Ant brings us to back to back WCF and the best stretch of basketball the Wolves have ever seen in franchise history.. He goes down for a couple games and yall turn your backs on him??? HE HAS BEEN PUTTING US ON HIS BACK FOR SEASONS NOW Maybe he should go to ATL.. wow.

@MVPrielipp @NickNelsonMN Yes, Royce solid at 3rd.

@NickNelsonMN Not sure what your bar is for *good* but Royce honestly is pretty good at 3rd. Keaschall will probably improve a lot with a fully healthy throwing arm too

With Ryan Kreidler being optioned, how many *good* defensive players will the Twins have on their roster? Buxton... that's it?

@NickNelsonMN Outman. Wallner has a cannon and improving on defense. Royce is good at 3rd.

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA He seems to be slowly getting better in this area. He also needs to push the ball up the floor way more, with many players on this team wanting to run, rather than slow up to play iso half court ball.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA It’s hard to often find open folks when they’re standing in the corners or simply not moving to the ball….. very rare 🐜 throws bad passes with clock winding down… that’s JRs thing

@Abovethelies1 @DaneMooreNBA Yep. And Ant needs to work on passing the ball out of double and triple teams. Rather than dribble the ball for 15-seconds and then throw a wild pass to someone with a couple seconds on the shot clock only when he has to pass the ball finally.

@TMGSportsRep @DaneMooreNBA Ant and JR are not in the same category of being equal when it comes to isolation ball. Teams send three guys at 🐜 JR creates his own mess…. I hear ya but 🐜 is elite, JR is just pretty good….
