Knicks · Preseason Game Thread: Knicks vs Timberwolves Sun 10/13 6:00PM. Finally We Play a Good Team!! (page 1)

Rookie @ 10/11/2024 10:24 AM
Let's see how we stack up against another team that went to the Conference Finals and who made a big trade in the offseason. Can the Wingstop boys lock up Ant? Will Randle play and if he does, will he play defense? Playing against Donte will be bitter sweet but a Divo/Bridges matchup will be fun to watch. Will Randle bring the family to the game? Ya' know Donte and Ant are going to be talking a lot of trash so lets shut those boys up with a W

Curious Minny preseason. They are in Philly tonite, then NYC Sunday.
Most teams stick near geographical close teams to reduce travel. Minny doing a freaking road trip?
Might be a good idea as bonding happens on the road and get team used to travel?
I think all starters on minute restriction and as friendly as it all is, they got pride and will go hard.
Donte loves MSG and will get amped to play. Same for randle. But, they won't go 100%.
If the box Kat down below on offense don't fret if he don't fight too hard for position if Rudy works him. Its presason.
Mikal or Josh guarding Donte? Thats gonna be fun!

It's going to be interesting to see how Rudy plays KAT above the break. I wonder if they decide a Naz/Randle lineup is better in this situation. It will give some insight into what Boston does. OG vs Randle will also be interesting for the 5 minutes they play. Minnesota is wing heavy and more switchable than the Knicks. Do they stick Ant on JB and hide Conley on Hart? I doubt we see it during the game, but I'm curious what substitution patterns Thibs uses.

This works. His first game back shouldn’t be a lousy preseason game.

Nothing wrong with playing a 7-10 min shift and get ones feet wet. He'll get applauded.
For the logistics of appreciation from the MSG crowd a regular season game makes more impact.
He has a season to get ready for.

BDG has a very particular set of skills.

Timberwolves got a nice dance lineup
ToddTT @ 10/13/2024 6:13 PM
See Julius on the opponent's bench is seriously fucked up.

Love OG’s aggressiveness!
MaTT4281 @ 10/13/2024 6:25 PM
I'll give them KAT for DDV right now...throw in Julius to make the numbers work.

His shooting form does not.

Its official, OG is my new favorite player!

Kolek a close second.
