Game Thread: Knicks vs. Timberwolves- 12/26/08

Gugliotta_medium

Hope everyone had a good holiday, and I hope the Knicks got their rest. Tonight's game is against Minnesota, one of the worst teams in the NBA. If the Knicks have any shot at overcoming their recent losing streak, it should start tonight with a win. Al Jefferson and Mike Miller are both capable of giving the Knick defense problems, but if the offense is working with reasonable success, New York should be able to grab this one.

Once again, I'm out of MSG territory, so if anybody's watching and would like to recap, that'd be fantastic. Check out the brilliantly-named Canis Hoopus for Minny coverage of tonight's contest.

i'll be watching

and soaking in my last MSG experience of the year. i fly back to hicktown tomorrow so i don’t think i can recap.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

al harrington is a surprisingly uninteresting person to mike up apparantly

they should mike up jared jeffries, so we can hear him muttering in tongues to himself.

i know i've said it before

but how the fuck did McHale not demand Rondo in that KG trade? that pisses me off to no end.

KEVIN OLLIE

as the starting PG. good lord.

great minds think alike

although admittedly i was only up to “KEVIN OLL” when you had posted, but i figured i’d finish it off

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 7:43 PM EST up reply actions  

haha

he signed my t-shirt at 1996 Fairfield Univ. Basketball Camp when I was 13. that’s when he was still at UConn.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

if i'm not mistaken

he played alongside ray allen, all-time jewish great doron shaffer, and both donny and donyell marshall. just about the earliest non-knick basketball memories i have surround those teams

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 7:51 PM EST up reply actions  

classic Lee right there

offensive rebound, miss, offensive rebound kick to Nate, three.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

Kevin Ollie

has played for 12 NBA teams, 15 different times (Philly three different times, Orlando twice). 6 of his first 7 seasons he didn’t not spend a full year with one team.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

also

he’s 16 years older than kevin love.
he literally could have fathered him. although i’d be surprised if he did.

BRIAN CARDINAL?

i dont want to sound over-dramatic

but if the Knicks lose this game, they can forget about the playoffs.

T’Wolves are fucking pathetic.

this is bad.

we’re down 13, nate and al harrington have 3 fouls, and chris duhon is bleeding out of his eye profusely. not much more can go wrong right now

Q a late scratch, Du goes down...

good thing we’re saving that empty roster spot instead of having an extra body.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

by Anthony Masons Haircut on Dec 26, 2008 8:38 PM EST reply actions  

that, and

guard their inside players
hit free throws
hit threes
hit two pointers

at least we’re rebounding well

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 8:39 PM EST up reply actions  

ok

8 points is do-able. let’s go.

Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

by Anthony Masons Haircut on Dec 26, 2008 8:43 PM EST reply actions  

okay.

a terrible half. but al went on a mini stint of being the g.o.a.t. there, and we somehow managed to be down less than ten.
let’s come back after the half rejuvenated and win this. but no matter how strong the temptation, how bad the foul trouble, and how injured the chris duhon’s eye, we mustn’t give in to our temptations: malik rose must stay on that damn bench. i’d even rather bring in jerome.

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 8:46 PM EST reply actions  

shit

the gimme a minute timer on ron howard didn’t start, and then they took off the graphic. we could be listening to opie talk for hours. that minute might never end.

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 8:47 PM EST reply actions  

rashad mccants' elbow in the eye.

there was blood on the floor. they haven’t given an update, but as someone who had a similar, but less bloody, version of the same injury playing pickup a few months ago, i can guarantee that he won’t play again tonight. and that he’ll look really funny for a few weeks.

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 8:49 PM EST up reply actions  

duhon's playing at the start of the second

i feel stupid about that last comment, to say the least.

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 9:02 PM EST up reply actions  

he's back!

sans a Rip Hamilton mask. Du likes to live dangerously.

al jefferson and al harrington

way too confusing for gus johnson. he’s said the wrong name about three times.

games like this

make me glad i didn’t get the NBA League Pass at home.

or are the knicks 0-30 in kelly tripucka announced games

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 9:24 PM EST reply actions  

i'll do a recap

but a game like that doesn’t deserve one

by Barnesgasm on Dec 26, 2008 10:11 PM EST reply actions  

Francis time?

If he’s not vomiting, it’s cool, I already did. All over my Bassy Telfair Lincoln jersey.
