Julius is obviously a booscopic person,and not at a good place there,got booed every time after a miss. He was the only one that was not totaly atrocious on that team. Rudy with a monster -1,7 pts/minute. Ant is an all- time hype, one MJ like move a game that gets everybody a boner and four kids a year. Feel bad for Boolius comming from a no bulshit team to this clown show in Minessota.
Ok, Naz, McDaniels, Conley and others are no clowns…but those two top dogs can not be serious. And now it’s all Julius’s fault.
Kat on the opposite is in a perfect place. His play is a very nice surprise to me.

I saw some of the game. I was on a long phone call for most of the first half. The Knicks’ offense just looked unstoppable for some sections and Minnesota couldn’t keep up. Finch put in his bench with like seven or eight minutes left. Amazingly Thibs put his bench in too just a minute later.

It was nice seeing Dadiet and Kolek play but they didn’t do anything to distinguish themselves. On Minnesota’s part, DDV seemed to get his game going at the end and snd Minott was impressive off the bench.

I don’t root for the knicks, but I must say I don’t mind when they drive E away with good play.

I didn’t get to see this one, but it seems from the comments here like this was more than just a game where the shots fell. Mikal’s box score is very pretty and there are some good reviews here about his defense as well.

Encouraging.

It also raises the question of whether Hart is more valuable as a bench player and KAT is better with another legit defensive big on the floor. Precious at the 4 (or 5) pushed OG to the 3 and Mikal to the 2, which I think is our best way forward.

That’s what I’ve been saying for the last few weeks, but imo Precious is not the right guy because we’d be sacrificing spacing. Today it didn’t matter much because we were hitting everything, but it will long term.

We want a PF with some size, that defends inside and rebounds. He doesn’t have to be a scorer or elite 3 point shooter. He can be kind of like Josh Hart but bigger. So he won’t necessarily cost a fortune. If we can get a player like that without disrupting the current core (maybe using Mitch plus) we’d be in the top 3 teams and a serious threat to beat the other 2.

This was a super-impressive road performance against a good, healthy team that should have been highly motivated to kick our asses.

It’s also just one game so I’m not going to get giddy or draw sweeping conclusions, but that was truly awesome to behold.

Over the last 5 games Mikal is averaging 22ppg, 3.5apg, shooting 42% from 3, and to the eye test, playing very solid D. If he keeps doing that and Mitch can give 20mpg at a level similar to where he was, I do think we’re legit.

I knew as soon as Randle was huffing and puffing from his hot start we were going to win… Karma is a bitch.

I think best win of the season?
