Skip Bayless Reveals 1 Major Title Contender That’s Likely To Fail in the NBA Playoffs

After seeing Edwards and the Timberwolves lose in a crucial late-season meeting with the Denver Nuggets in Mile High City on Wednesday, 116-107, Skip Bayless’ distrust in Minnesota only got more intense.

Here’s what Bayless said of the Timberwolves after Minnesota’s loss to Nikola Jokic and the reigning NBA champions.

“Even if they get Karl-Anthony [Towns] back, there’s just something missing in Minnesota to me. Every time I watch them, I just can’t believe in them. Even Anthony Edwards. He’s got some Jordan going on. I get that but it’s like he hadn’t arrived, maturity-wise where he’s the guy where he just says ‘get out of my way, I got this.’ They got all kinds of pieces, they are number one defensive team, but I don’t trust them in a big postseason game.

After back-to-back first-round exits from the NBA Playoffs, now seems like a perfect time for the Timberwolves to have that break out in the postseason. With Karl-Anthony Towns on the verge of returning and Anthony Edwards getting better and better, notwithstanding Bayless’ apprehension of Minnesota, the Timberwolves have plenty of reason to believe that they will make things happen in the playoffs.
