Despite a strong start to the season, the Minnesota Timberwolves have been god awful. They lost to the Atlanta Hawks last night and are currently on a 13-game losing streak. Recently, star player Karl-Anthony Towns appeared to have a negative reaction to their latest trade and he’s not done commenting on this team’s failures. 

In fact, Towns hasn’t been in the lineup for a Timberwolves win since before Thanksgiving and he’s starting to get fed up. After last night’s game, he spoke to the media about the T-Wolves’ most recent loss and he didn’t hold back when speaking on his displeasure.

“I’ve been losing for a long time. I’m not trying to do that shit anymore,” Towns said per Jon Kwayczynski of The Athletic. “So every possession means a lot. You obviously see my patience running low with a lot of things. There’s no excuses. We gotta get it done.”

As it stands, the Timberwolves are 14th in the Western Conference with a record of 15-35. With 32 games to go, their playoff hopes have pretty well evaporated and now, they’re going to have to hope for a high draft pick. Either way, it doesn’t seem like things are getting any better in Minnesota and if this keeps up, Towns will have even more reason to be upset.

This season was quite promising for the Houston Rockets as they started out with a reunion between James Harden and Russell Westbrook. The team has shown some flashes of brilliance but they have also been underwhelming at times. Yesterday was a prime example of this as they gave up a huge lead to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Westbrook came through with a triple-double although Harden went a staggering 1-17 from the three-point line. 

After the game, Westbrook spoke to reporters about the loss. This is the fourth game in a row the Rockets have lost now and it's starting to affect them in the standings. They have fallen to sixth in the Conference and could be overtaken by the Thunder quite soon.
