Miller mentioned, “I’m an even bigger fan of Anthony Edwards after seeing that clip. We’ve got certain guys with veteran status in our game that are on a lot of people’s Mount Rushmore that like to deflect and point fingers at others. Here’s a 22 year old saying, ‘This is on me. It’s my fault’.”
However, as per Awful Announcing Ben Axelrod, ESPN’s Michael Wilbon also mentioned considering letting go of head coach Darvin Ham and Lakers superstar’s tendency to indicate blame.
Wilbon, during “Pardon the Interruption” stated, “If you want to be the GOAT, you want to tell everybody you’re the greatest player of all time, you want to have it on podcasts, then take accountability like one. Do that! If you’re the GOAT, you do that. You don’t blame this cryptically or backhandedly on Darvin Ham. I don’t want to hear from anybody in a Laker uniform that the primary problem was Darvin Ham.”
Both the Denver Nuggets and the Minnesota Timberwolves have won two games each in the Conference Semifinals series.
