Go Wolves!!

[KLovin]

Ha. My two fave teams in the league. Been a diehard Knicks fan since I was 7, though. Go Knicks. No Love, though, I hear. That stinks.

[TaLvsCuaL]

Two of my favorite teams this season, could be a great match.

[iDunk]

We're gonna lose.

[Alan]

Love didn't travel to New York because of the eye injury he got in the OKC game. Should be back next game.

[Blue&Orange]

any news on Amare? Chances of him playing?

[La Frescobaldi]

Love didn't travel to New York because of the eye injury he got in the OKC game. Should be back next game.

Derrick Williams or Dante Cunningham. Both strong players, may be starters on some teams. I would probably start D C if it was me, but they both can rock for sure.

Although he's probably tired after defending LeBron James & Kevin Durant, my vote would still be to line up Andrei Kirilenko defensively on anthony. This will be probably the key matchup, although if Pekovic goes in to beast mode in the 4th quarter, I feel sorry for the Knicks (my original favorite team from waaaay back in the day!!).

But the game will be decided by whether or not the T Wolves guards can avoid hero ball and play their game. It's not Shved I'm worried about.

[Clutch]

**** you League Pass. Wolves stream instead of MSG :facepalm

Thanks but I already have a good quality stream. I'm just mad because it shows Wolves feed instead of MSG feed. I want to listen to Mike Breen and Clyde.

[kNicKz]

can you pm me a stream?

[Clutch]

can you pm me a stream?
I watch it on League Pass. But you might find some solid streams here: http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/160309/1/watch-new-york-knicks-vs-minnesota-timberwolves.html

[stallionaire]

The biggest Knicks hater has entered the thread.

Sup bitches?

Y'all ready to get mauled by my WOLVES?

[kNicKz]

Damn, i had LP last year but have yet to renew it, thanks for the link though

[La Frescobaldi]

wow if Kidd is just gonna hold their arm and no whistle like that this will be a long game

[stallionaire]

Shved!

[Clutch]

Knicks looking like crap once again. :facepalm

[La Frescobaldi]

announcer I am hearing on the stream sez if Pekovic gets 20pts the Wolves are 6-0 this season.

Here comes Rubio get ready for T WOLF IGNITION!!

[madmax]

Wolves baby!!!
white power all the way:applause: :banana:

[Clutch]

Knicks suck right now. They look completely different than the team early in the season.
No defense,everyone is bricking shots...

[kingBynum]

knicks gonna knicks

[stallionaire]

rubioooooooooooo

[livinglegend]

i love rubio s game!

[FireMcFailPlease]

steamer is a moron

[Clutch]

Knicks have 10 rebounds,Wolves 21. And Kevin Love isn't even playing.

[stallionaire]

cmon AK.... slow down...

[Clutch]

J.R.Smith :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

By far our best player tonight.

[stallionaire]

shhvedddddddddddddddd

[Y2Gezee]

THIS JR Smith should start when Amare comes back to anchor the bench. Focused on defense 1st, making plays 2nd, catching and shooting 3rd, one on one play none

[TaLvsCuaL]

Shved need a good nickname, the dude is a baller

[tpols]

This sved guy is nasty on pick and rolls.. Very smart player.

[FireMcFailPlease]

nice elbow/flop by melo.
refs dont care

[stallionaire]

w o l v e s

bitches!

[TaLvsCuaL]

These "white" wolves are not a joke anymore

[La Frescobaldi]

Nikola 15 12 at the half.

That dude is awesome center. He's doing these numbers against all of them, it doesn't matter who it is - even T Chandler, one of the great defensive centers.

[dunksby]

Pek :bowdown:

[Graviton]

This Wolves team is so fun to watch, they are like a more offensive Bulls. They kill you on the boards, stretch the floor, use amazing ball movement as a team and get open shots.

[madmax]

Knicks suck

[TaLvsCuaL]

Knicks suck
bring back Lin :lol

[Clutch]

Knicks have quickly turned from one of the best defenses in the league to one of the worst defensive teams in the league.

This 6 game home stand has mostly been a disaster.

[stallionaire]

These "white" wolves are not a joke anymore

never were

[TaLvsCuaL]

never were

[Blue&Orange]

wtf are the Knicks doing?

[La Frescobaldi]

14 with impeccable transition D on anthony

HE IS OWNING THIS 3Q RIGHT NOW

[Blue&Orange]

Every Knicks players doing their Joel Anthony impersonation. They just can't hold a ball.

[Clutch]

wtf are the Knicks doing?
Ruining their record.

[alenleomessi]

shved doesnt look like a rookie

[Blue&Orange]

Chandler it's a incredible volleyball player.

[Clutch]

Whenever Knicks make a small run the Wolves hit a basket to quiet the crowd and destroy the momentum.
It's frustrating to watch.

[madmax]

shved doesnt look like a rookie

he's a very experienced 24 year old though - spent a lot of years playing in Euroleague and for russian NT

[kNicKz]

for anyone just reading, the score is 67-62, not 100-30 :roll: still very close

[livinglegend]

lol poor the wolve players, they are getting hacked, and no calls.

[alenleomessi]

he's a very experienced 24 year old though - spent a lot of years playing in Euroleague and for russian NT
i know dude he played many times against macedonia
but he didnt look even close as good and confident as he does now, which is surprising since this is the nba

[Clutch]

Win or lose,it doesn't change the fact the Knicks haven't played well lately.

[La Frescobaldi]

i know dude he played many times against macedonia
but he didnt look even close as good and confident as he does now, which is surprising since this is the nba

he is starting - which that is almost legendary with Coach Adelman to start a rook. Not only that but he started at freaking forward which was real weird to me... a 3 / 2 against the Knicks? :wtf:

[livinglegend]

is rubio the best defender among pgs?

[TaLvsCuaL]

is rubio the best defender among pgs?
healthy is top 5 for sure

[madmax]

is rubio the best defender among pgs?

he damn sure is:cheers:

[FireMcFailPlease]

JR smith is one mad bro

[EnoughSaid]

Shit man proud to be born in Russia. Shved is one of my favorite players in the league. :bowdown:

[La Frescobaldi]

JR smith is one mad bro

http://mjsports.ie/shop/images/ref_whistle.jpg

T!!

[FireMcFailPlease]

yea..jr smith is a baby

[TaLvsCuaL]

Cunningham!!! i love this guy

[TaLvsCuaL]

Some questionable calls

[francesco totti]

only reason game been close, rubio been shit..total one.

[Clutch]

only reason game been close, rubio been shit..total one.
All the Knicks players have played absolutely horrible tonight besides J.R.

[TaLvsCuaL]

only reason game been close, rubio been shit..total one.
You may have a point but it is totally understandable. A serious injury take a long time to recover.

[DStebb716]

officiating against the knicks has been absolutely terrible this season. nba not ready to unseat the heat.

[Blue&Orange]

that call on melo was just brutal :lol

[DStebb716]

it's out of hand. absolutely RIDICULOUS the level of bad officiating against the knicks this season. they're doing a lot of it to themselves by complaining too much and not being the aggressor but it's costing them games.

[Clutch]

Bullshit call.

[ZenMaster]

Jesus christ these players are just bitching on every single call, tough to watch.

[Blue&Orange]

that call on melo was just brutal :lol
And then on a play with 10x more contact same ref call nothing... and then a bogus call on a airball. Carrying the Heat is not enough anymore. :lol

[SevereUpInHere]

This is getting out of control, they can't be serious with this shit.

[DStebb716]

game over. refs just ended the game. this one is decided. goodnight.

[k0kakw0rld]

officiating against the knicks has been absolutely terrible this season. nba not ready to unseat the heat.
didn't they destroy the Heat twice this season? :confusedshrug: You scared? or you just starting to realize that your team is actually garbage. Plays one on one and do not run plays. They chuck too many 3's. Back to last year Knicks I guess.

[Sarcastic]

Last 2 games, the Knicks have had to compete against the other team and the refs.

[ZenMaster]

This is getting out of control, they can't be serious with this shit.

You can't faceguard on a blockout while putting two hands on the player, it's an automatic foul when you play with both hands.

[bagelred]

that call on melo was just brutal :lol

Just got home. Watching end. Sum up game so far in 25 words or less.

Saw BS call on Melo.

[DStebb716]

didn't they destroy the Heat twice this season? :confusedshrug: You scared? or you just starting to realize that your team is actually garbage. Plays one on one and do not run plays. They chuck too many 3's. Back to last year Knicks I guess.

The amount of common sense in this post = zero. Why would I be scared if my team destroyed the defending champs twice? Refs can't do anything when somebody is being blown out like the Knicks did to the Heat. But when the games have been close the refs have killed the Knicks.

[DStebb716]

Melo says to the refs: **** your bullshit. I'm taking this one myself and you can't stop me.

[SevereUpInHere]

Melo is a f*cking superstar. Damn it feels good to have one on our team finally.

[bagelred]

Just saw Whoopi on screen. Is she coaching the team? :eek: I'm out of the loop for one day...and look what happens. :eek:

[DStebb716]

He was standing still facing the player. By the time he put his hands on him the ball was out of bounds. It's a bs call and you know it.

[FireMcFailPlease]

lol typical nba. home head coach gets technical. refs swallow whistle

[fsvr54]

Melo is so good

[francesco totti]

You may have a point but it is totally understandable. A serious injury take a long time to recover.

but you will blow a W now .... He was horrible out there in a stretch wolves could have pulled away

[livinglegend]

great clutch play by melo, but let s be real, Barea and Pekovic got hacked in 2 straight plays

[SevereUpInHere]

Just saw Whoopi on screen. Is she coaching the team? :eek: I'm out of the loop for one day...and look what happens. :eek:

All I saw was Lupe Fiasco.

Yea you scared that's why you blaming the refs because your team can't beat a Loveless & unhealthy Rubio Wolves :roll:
PEk got fouled + Barea soo

[FireMcFailPlease]

lol.

[DStebb716]

definite should've been a foul there on the knicks. guess they decided to even it out on that possession. for the record, i hate make-up calls. call the game as it happens no matter what has happened before.

Sorry there was no foul on Pekovic there.

[Sarcastic]

timberwolves getting hacked to death


The story of the Knicks this entire year.

[jamal99]

They were killing Pek down low and no call...

[ZenMaster]

He was standing still facing the player. By the time he put his hands on him the ball was out of bounds. It's a bs call and you know it.

I wasn't noticing if the ball was out of bounds or not before the call.

But what I do know is that we teach players to faceguard on the block out if you are in trouble against a bigger player, and if it's a foul you deal with it because it's better than the player getting the rebound in scoring position.

The thing is he put two hands on him, you can't do that in basketball, never ever.

[DStebb716]

gotta be smarter than that jr. love this shved guy.

[EnoughSaid]

MUDDAFUKKA SHVED! :bowdown:

[TaLvsCuaL]

but you will blow a W now .... He was horrible out there in a stretch wolves could have pulled away
Adelman probably thinks that giving to Rubio some minutes is more important than win a game.

[Sarcastic]

Melo - 19 points in the 4th :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[FireMcFailPlease]

Sorry there was no foul on Pekovic there.
after the T, felton spun barea around at the FT line. No foul.

itll be called like this the rest of the way. typical NBA

[La Frescobaldi]

wow this game has been crazy!!

[Blue&Orange]

turrible refs turrible.

[SevereUpInHere]

:oldlol: WTF is going on. Lets call this one.

[madmax]

good game, Shved is a cold blooded mutha****a and refs let Knicks players mug Wolves at the end, which was NID as usual:violin:

[ClutchOver9000]

Melo - 19 points in the 4th :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

says the person with a player who hasn't had a foul called on them in 6 games in their avatar...

[L.A. Jazz]

i love Adelmans teams, but the refs seem to hate him. just handed the Knicks the game.

[Clutch]

Win or lose,it doesn't change the fact the Knicks haven't played well lately.
I'll quote it so I don't have to say it once again.

[TaLvsCuaL]

I've seen home cooking and Knicks fans were complaining during the whole game.

[Clutch]

Melo - 19 points in the 4th :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:
Melo being Melo :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[SevereUpInHere]

I've seen home cooking and Knicks fans were complaining during the whole game.

We were getting pretty bad calls for a lot of the game, admittedly, in the last few mins we probably were pretty lucky with calls.

[iDunk]

The refs were horrible for both teams this game.

Anyways... just went from 6 to midnight for Melo.

[kNicKz]

cmon AK.... slow down...

where is this clown right now

[Clutch]

For 46 minutes refs called the game pro Wolves and then they changed their mind and in the last 2 minutes all the calls went Knicks way.

Last 2 Knicks games were weird. Especially that one on Friday against the Bulls. That was one of the weirdest games I've seen in my life.

[Blue&Orange]

Yea you scared that's why you blaming the refs because your team can't beat a Loveless & unhealthy Rubio Wolves :roll:
PEk got fouled + Barea soo
20-7 Without Amare, Shump and without Wallace, Kidd, Melo on some games. Oh and without Camby, you know that guy the heat would kill to have.

Name a team doing better with so many injuries.

Oh almost forgot, on the toughest part of the schedule. January and February are a cakewalk by comparison. At least on paper.

[TaLvsCuaL]

We were getting pretty bad calls for a lot of the game, admittedly, in the last few mins we probably were pretty lucky with calls.
People are never objective, but fans even less. They move through the feelings rather than by reasoning, and it is understandable. So we are all biased but some are more homers than others.

Pro wolves?? Your players threw tantrums and got t'd up for it...

Were they good calls? NO, but every game has them. When Woodson gets a T, the refs swallowed their whistles in typical fashion and blew calls down the stretch. What happens in the final 2 minutes, doesnt get called normally as it would in the first 46.

[Mr. Incredible]

The NY-LA game is going to be great

[niko]

TWovles are one of those teams that if they were healthy would be a bitch, but are never going to be healthy.

Yep, They seem the Blazers 2.0

T-wolves got robbed, but hey who will care right, it's only minnesota we're talking about :rolleyes:

[Clutch]

Officials were bad but they made mistakes on both ends. For most of the game the Wolves were getting some questionable calls and after that Woodson tech all the calls went the Knicks way.

Knicks deserved some sort of break after that robbery against the Bulls on Friday. No question Bulls deserved to win but the refs were just awful.
