Anthony Edwards became one of the league’s favorite players during the first two rounds of the postseason. The 22-year-old’s performance, leadership quality, and tough mentality resulted in immense popularity for the guard. However, Ant-Man has not been able to live up to expectations in the Western Conference finals.
The Minnesota Timberwolves lost one more game with Anthony Edwards‘ yet another poor shooting night. Ant-Man was even worse than Game 1 from the field, as he only made five shots from 17 attempts. To make matters worse, Edwards also had two poor turnovers during the final seconds and one resulted in the game-winner by Luka Doncic.

NBA fans trolled Anthony Edwards for poor performance in Game 2
Edwards has been getting compared to the greats of the game throughout this season. One name that was mentioned prominently was the superstar Michael Jordan. Many compared the style, mentality, and performance of both the shooting guards. However, now it seems like the game followers are changing their opinions.
After the Timberwolves lost consecutively with Edwards’ poor outing, basketball fans on social media were furious at the young star. Fans took to social media to troll and criticize Edwards’ performance during the loss. Here’s what netizens from X had to say about Ant-Man:

Karl-Anthony Towns and Rudy Gobert combined for only 31 points and also had poor defensive efforts. The team now has to face the Mavericks at home for Game 3 which will be held on Sunday.
