Anthony Edwards demands accountability as Timberwolves face ongoing struggles

Anthony Edwards, known for his fearless demeanor on and off the court, didn't hold back after the Minnesota Timberwolves suffered a 115-104 loss to the Sacramento Kings. The young star, now in his fifth NBA season, offered a blunt criticism of his team's performances, pointing to internal problems as the root of their recent decline. “We are soft (heck) as a team, but not in the way we deal with opponents – internally we are soft,” Edwards said. “We don't communicate, we act like a bunch of kids. This is the reality and if we don't face it we will go in the wrong direction." The Timberwolves, who made it to the Western Conference finals in 2024, have fallen on hard times. After a promising 6-3 start to the season, they have now lost four straight games and seven of their last nine. A major...

Mbappe struggles as Liverpool dominate Real Madrid in Champions League clash

Liverpool produced a commanding performance against Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday, leaving Carlo Ancelotti's side reeling. Among those under most scrutiny was Kylian Mbappe, whose disappointing performance, capped by a missed penalty, added to an already challenging start to his time at the Spanish club.

Mbappe's frustration was evident all night, and his struggles culminated at the final whistle. After losing possession for the fifteenth time, a sequence that ende...
