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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
