PG - KNICKS vs Wolves: KAT Brings Home The Win!!!

[HarthorneWingo]

[Jalen Bluntson]

can we not do this...lets enjoy the win.

What? You cannot be serious. We suffered for 5 years of gloat posting and this entire season until a couple of days ago! Whatever man. Whatever. Take it to the fight thread fellas!!!

Great win.

The trade talk is over. We won hands down. Glad that's put to rest.

There's a thread for that.

It's fight thread.

He played in this game but, whatever. Gotta make the changes stick by example. I get it. It's like when the Knicks finally tank and the lottery odds change and we get the third pick.

I just don't want anything to do with the fight about the past thread. I am gonna take a stroll through there tonight though. Hope I am not disappointed!

[Deeeez Knicks]

KAT >>>> Randle

Tbf, most of us that didn't like the trade didn't argue this point. We were ignorant about kat. With his defensive defiencies we thought he wasn't talented enough to make us championship contenders.

Fair but some were complaining so insufferably that there is not enough crows in the world to eat

Shaq kinda underaceived as a rebounder. How does KAT compare to Moses Malone ?

[Chanel Bomber]

KAT was always good in Minnesota, he just had no help for many years.

I still can't believe the Wolves FO looked at KAT, Gobert, Reid and McDaniels and reached the conclusion that of all these players, KAT was the one to trade away. These other guys are good players but KAT's another level of talent. It boggles the mind.

The trade set them back a decade.

The trade that set them back a decade was really the Gobert trade but losing towns was further fallout from that idiocy

I would disagree with that because they made the Conference Finals for the first time since 2004 with Gobert as their starting center.

He and Towns were an awkward fit but they made it work and all the +/- based stats show that Gobert had an outsize impact on winning (which was also enabled by KAT's versatility and willingness to adapt).

I used to share the criticism of the Gobert trade but I no longer do. I think their run last season vindicated the move to a large extent.

Could have been even more if it wasn’t a blowout where he sat in garbage time

But only 100% from three?...he needs more reps in the gym.

I think we need to talk about how Mikal is Kobe in the mid range.

[LFGK]

So is the sky falling? Or we good for a few games? This team is going to be a nightmare out

[RHODEY]

Put some respect on his name Knick faimly!

I don't think it's a coincidence he's playing more aggressive without Hart in lineup. Without Josh, he doesn't just stand in the corner, and gets the ball more so he scores and passes more, and he plays better D when he's this aggressive. Tbh, we're at our best with an aggressive Mikal.

Also with Precious next to KAT, I feel like KAT plays more loose too, no pressure on him as the last line of D. Although he leads the L in rebounding, I'm sure KAT loves someone else help rebound when he can't get them.

Please bring Hart off the bench... he can wreak havoc with the 2nd unit with his own playmaking skills.

Very astute point. I too would like Hart off the bench. I love finally not looking like midgets on he floor and every one playing their proper positions.

Better to eat crow than starve. Can't believe some are bailing on a knicks team that is a legit contender. Feels good to be wrong.

Over the 2nd and 3rd quarters the Knicks gave up only 41 points while scoring 72 points.

That Mikal Towns is one helluva player

Except they done **** up now.

Julius doesn't even stick around to shake hands with his former team. SMH. Just a bad look but I'm not surprised.

He's stil got that big ego...and he was thoroughly embarrassed tonight.

[F N 11]

Leon got a sneaky move to solidify us.

Legit the best team since the 90s... We may have a shot. I mean, it'll def be tough and odds are against us but we have a chance

Maybe I missed it in the past, but why wasn't KAT always considered a Top 10 talent?

He's easily one of the best players in the league

Well he's considered a top 5 MVP candidate...

Yup

Once Matt Ryan hits a three then I’ll take this team seriously

It wont happen before he's replacde in 2 weeks by Shamet.

[stuporman]

I think we got the KAT statement game and the Mikal statement game in the same game

...and the cops are taking statements from witnesses to the murder.
