“Minnesota Timberwolves are dumber than rocks because they have dumb coaches”: Charles Barkley livid following Karl Anthony Towns and co’s collapse against Ja Morant and Grizzlies

Charles Barkley goes in on the Timberwolves for giving up multiple double digit leads to Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies. 

Anthony Edwards sent a warning to the Memphis Grizzlies following their Game 2 loss, telling them that they now have to come to the crib and play in Minnesota. Well, in their first game back home, the Timberwolves jumped out to two separate double digit leads in the first and second halves and gave up both of them. 

Game 3 was a game of transition with both teams getting their shot off run-and-gun style or wasting no more than 10 seconds off the shot clock for a majority of their possessions. Karl Anthony Towns took merely 4 shots tonight and had a total of 8 points in a game that desperately needed him to take over.

Ja Morant on the other hand had a 16 point triple double to go along with Brandon Clarke’s 20 off the bench and Desmond Bane’s 7-15 shooting from beyond the arc. 

With multiple 20+ point leads blown by the Timberwolves, Charles Barkley seems to have had with them this Playoffs.

Charles Barkley would take to the postgame show on NBAonTNT to reiterate what he said during halftime, calling them ‘dumber than rocks’. He would then go on to blame the coaches rather than the players for the blown leads, berating them for not calling a single timeout during the runs Memphis went on.

Guys like Xavier Tillman and Brandon Clarke have been doing an incredible job on KAT this series and it’s clear that he’ll have to figure out a way around them and JJJ’s incredible help-side defense for the Timberwolves to have a chance in Game 4 and beyond.
