Anthony Edwards' old critique of the Golden State Warriors gains attention once more before the Timberwolves move forward to the second round

Belting it Out: Timberwolves vs. Warriors - A Playoff Showdown Echoing with Trash Talk

The Minny 'Wolves and the Golden State Warriors are all set to lock horns in the second round of the playoffs, promising an electrifying encounter. The 'Wolves, fresh off their 5-game elimination of the LA Lakers, now square off against the Warriors, a team they haven't faced in the playoffs featuring the celebrated Stephen Curry.

In a resurrected interview from last season, 'Wolves' star Anthony Edwards had a thing for the Warriors. When asked about his playoff aspirations, he quipped, "Gimme the Warriors! Wherever they're hiding, I'm hunting them!"

The curiosity piqued, someone probed further. Edwards pointed his finger at Draymond Green, the Warrior known for his raspy chatter, as the primary reason behind his desire to face the team. "It's just the yappin'," Edwards said succinctly.

Green's chatter isn't for the faint-hearted, and Edwards thrives on mouthy opponents, making this matchup a crackling affair. Green too stands his ground and talks a big game, turning this contest into a verbal sparring match too.

Minny looks to topple the Warriors in the second round

The 'Wolves have been giving fans high-octane basketball for some seasons now, and their playoff achievements over the years are worth mentioning. Last season, they ended the rampage of Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns in the first round and consigned Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets to the sidelines in the second. In the Western Conference Finals, it was the Dallas Mavericks who proved too tough.

For the current season, the 'Wolves have already slain the dragons in the form of Luka Doncic and LeBron James, setting their sights on the Warriors. With their physicality and athleticism, the 'Wolves put opponents on their toes and it's uncertain if the Warriors can keep up.

The Warriors bagged three wins against the 'Wolves in the regular season, but those numbers won't matter a bit in the postseason. Even though they boast playoff experience, the 'Wolves have the talent to outwit the Warriors in a series that could stretch up to six or even seven games. Edwards and the 'Wolves are geared up for whatever the Warriors throw at them in the coming round.
