TWolves at Knicks Game Thread 3-20-23

[imdaman99]

Randle with 52 points through 3 quarters :biggums:

[Manny98]

Toody getting decimated :roll::roll::roll:

[Street Hunger]

So high-scoring

[Street Hunger]

Wow Taurean Prince 22 points on 8 of 9 FG

[Street Hunger]

Wait, Taurean Prince now 28 points on 10 shots!

The Wolves roster is so empty other than Rudy Gobert and injured KAT

[Street Hunger]

J RANDLE 52 POINTS thru three quarters

[Manny98]

Timberwolves are awful they traded all of their assets for a overpaid bum who can't even help them get to the playoffs

[SATAN]

Toody choking

[imdaman99]

First team to play defense gonna win this one :lol

Let's go Knicks :banana:

[Proctor]

DPOY up to his usual tricks bricking important FTs. Has given up 54 and counting to Randle :facepalm

Prince and Conley have been good

Wolves may still win this, I don't trust Randle when he's "feeling it" :facepalm

[Im so nba'd out]

Julius randle is about to have a double nickel with toody patrolling the paint. And he’s guarding a dinosaur big who can’t shoot so he has no excuse :lebronamazed::lebronamazed::lebronamazed:

+/- being ignored again tonite for some reason. Funny how it seems to come and go and not a mention of the great Naz for some unexplained reason

[imdaman99]

Randle back to his old ways :lol saw that coming

[RRR3]

Same old Knicks. With a chance to move closer to getting HC for the playoffs they lose to the Wolves without Edwards at MSG :roll:

[Proctor]

Randle of all people going off like that just tells you how poor the Wolves defense is, especially from the 200mil man. Need KAT back ASAP

[Xiao Yao You]

too bad for Randle that their is a lot more to the game than scoring. Why are they losing when he's on the court and 200 million dollar man is a +? Tough being a troll :roll:

[imdaman99]

Randle nice job not getting that rebound, that was the game right there. Beat by slow-mo :facepalm
Dude is not hungry enough, never gets the big defensive rebound when he needs to

[SATAN]

Randle :lol

[Proctor]

Anderson is a smart player on a team full of idiots. Conley got his head out of his ass finally too. Only two likable players on that team

[Xiao Yao You]

4 rebounds on the game. At least he got his! :D

took 2 days to forget the great Naz Reid. Trolls are relentlessly idiotic :facepalm

[RRR3]

Letting Taurean Prince score 35 on 12-13 is all-time embarrassing. Knicks are a first round exit.

[Xiao Yao You]

can't quit me!

[Xiao Yao You]

Rudy with his usual late season brilliance carrying a young team at the Garden on his back with out their all NBA PF and all star guard :bowdown:

[imdaman99]

I love Brunson but he is a pathetic defender. He was the one covering Prince to start and of course the guy doesn't miss a shot and has a career game

TWolves had at least 3-4+ defenders in the lineup, Knicks still went off. But they got the stops they needed to

Why was he on a player that much taller than him? Seems like bad coaching.

[Manny98]

Are you seriously implying that Rudy was better than Taurean Prince tonight?

[Xiao Yao You]

Are you seriously implying that Rudy was better than Taurean Prince tonight?

didn't see the game. I know a lot of what Gobert brings doesn't even show up on the scoreboard. The trolls think Randle was huge tonite yet for some reason the Knicks lost the game when he was on the court. Maybe it was lack of D, passing, rebounding while turning the ball over?

[imdaman99]

To be honest, it was prob the best move otherwise Conley and Rudy would have put him in pick and rolls to death. Fighting through screens takes a lot of of you and he needs his energy for offense. Prince just didn't miss.

probably figured Prince was less likely to hurt to them

Maybe it had something to do with Prince literally not missing a shot :facepalm

[SATAN]

Of course those 2 missed FTs in crunch time don't show up on the scoreboard. :lol

[Xiao Yao You]

Randle didn't miss many either but they got beat with him on the court. There's a lot to the game of basketball. It's not as simplified as you trolls would like to make it. All I know is it was a huge win for the Wolves and a big loss for the trolls. What else matters? :cheers:

Your right there is a lot to the game but you thinking Rudy '"carried" the Timberwolves last night is insane

[Xiao Yao You]

Your right there is a lot to the game but you thinking Rudy '"carried" the Timberwolves last night is insane

vets carrying a young team that haven't played in meaningful games before not insane. Gobert and Conley have been here before

Shams Charania: There is optimism that Minnesota Timberwolves stars Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards (ankle) could return as soon as Wednesday vs. Atlanta Hawks, (https://*********.com/social/) sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Towns, sidelined since Nov. 28 with Grade 3 calf strain, is on the cusp of a major return.

the bad news keeps coming for the trolls

[Manny98]

Yep you're going on ignore, you're just a pathetic troll at this point

[Xiao Yao You]

hope you have better luck with that than RR3 and Spurs whatever have :roll:

Christopher Hine: Chris Finch told Hartman that Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Edwards appear to be on different timelines and in different “modalities” of recovery. (https://*********.com/social/) He reiterated what he said before yesterday’s game, that Edwards wasn’t working out and was more in treatment right now. Towns is “deep” in a workout mode.

Shams Charania: After missing 51 straight games with a Grade 3 calf strain, Minnesota Timberwolves star Karl-Anthony Towns will return tonight vs. Atlanta Hawks barring setback in pregame, (https://*********.com/social/) sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium . Nine games remaining as T’Wolves battle for playoff positioning.

Clutch Points: Karl-Anthony Towns is IN tonight for the game vs. the Hawks & will have “some sort of limitations” with minutes, says Chris Finch (https://*********.com/social/). The Timberwolves coach also said there is “no update” on Anthony Edwards’ playing status. pic.twitter.com/HTAUF1pd2d

[Xiao Yao You]

The return of Towns and the trolls go silent once again! :roll:

[Proctor]

Great game for Reid tonight. He gets the game ball.

Wolves look much better with Towns back.

look better with an all NBA player? Can't get that kind of analysis anywhere but ISH! :facepalm

Chris Haynes: There’s strong optimism Minnesota Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards (ankle) could make his return Sunday (https://*********.com/social/) against the Golden State Warriors, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.

let's hope he doesn't take touches away from Naz!

Towns with the dagger but game ball goes to Reid. Somehow always ready. Efficient and excellent on the offensive end. Gobert missed another clutch FT. Don't know how you can justify keeping him on the floor late in the playoffs should they make it.

God you're a relentless idiot. Somehow they are over 6 points worse with your game ball guru on the floor this year. Hopefully he won't hurt them so much in the smaller role he will have going forward. You don't win if you take your best defender and rebounder off the floor. Out rebounded them by 12 and what had to be one of the best defensive performances of the year holding the champs under 100. Big win. No one will want to play these guys going forward now that they are finally whole

Reid was excellent once again, he's gonna get paid big :applause:

hopefully you or Proctor get to watch him play for your team every night with his -7 :cheers:

The Wolves (38-37) held the high-powered Warriors to 41 points in the second half and got a game-winning shot from Towns for the second game in a row since returning from a calf injury to move within a half-game of the Warriors (39-37) for sixth in the Western Conference standings. In doing so, they slayed a dragon that has burnt them to a crisp over and over again at Chase and Oracle over the last six years. “That’s why the team has been built that way, is to be ourselves, to be unique,” Gobert said. (https://theathletic.com/4350133/2023/03/27/timberwolves-warriors-kat-win/) “I would say we look at us and we look at the height and they say (we are) big, but we’ve got bigs that can move and we’ve got bigs that can shoot better than most guards.”

Curry had an unusually off night with 20 points on 8-of-23 shooting, including just 4 of 13 from 3. Some of the shots he missed, including a layup late in the fourth quarter, are ones he knocks down in his sleep. But the Wolves did bother him and did not allow him to shoot a single free throw in the game, a sign that the bigger defenders were keeping their feet against the craftiest player in the game. “Give them credit. They’re big and large inside and were doing everything they could to keep us off the 3-point line,” said Warriors guard Klay Thompson, who scored 15 points on 5-of-17 shooting. (https://theathletic.com/4350133/2023/03/27/timberwolves-warriors-kat-win/) “I didn’t get in a great rhythm, especially inside the arc. I missed all my 2-pointers.”

here they come

[Proctor]

Great game from quite a few Wolves. Game ball goes to Reid again for continuing to be excellent and hit big shots. Love a center that is an offensive threat

[Xiao Yao You]

+/- being selectively used once again for some strange reason. Scheduled loss without Towns and their other all NBAer leads them to another huge win on the road. Peaking at the right time. Bad news for the trolls. Doing it all/16/16/4/2 :cheers:

[Xiao Yao You]

Jon Krawczynski: Conley: “I’m not the best rebounder in the world. But if that’s what coach’s word is every day, for us to box out, for us to crash, for us to get back on defense, I’m going to reiterate that every practice, every timeout, every single chance we get.” (https://*********.com/social/)

Christopher Hine: Asked Rudy Gobert how much smarter the Timberwolves are now than earlier this season. His answer, with a laugh: “I think we are about three, four years older than we were a few months ago. And I’m not talking about Mike Conley.” (https://*********.com/social/)
