@@niledemitri3079 This team is awesome. Especially when well rested. To have future success Thibs has to utilize the bench and not only when forced because of injuries etc. 40 plus mins for the starters on back to backs and every other day games and the team under achieves. we loss games because of tired legs etc. Guys play hard for Thibs. He has to trust the bench when the team is at full strength
Also. Now that OG is on a decline Mikal is now able to shine. In the beginning of the season when OG was killing I think it took away from Mikal’s shine. They play the same position and have a similar game
Only way that can happen is if Josh hart comes off the bench mikal is your 4th ball handler when Josh hart starts and he ends up being just a corner shooter
Great win for the NYK's. KAT was unbelievable. and deserved the tributes from the Wolves. I will tell you hat impresses me mostabout this team going forward....the game completely changed when both Cam Payne and Deuce came into the game. You could actually witness the Wolves on their heels. I never knew how good Cam really was until this game. Keep climbing NY and you will get there!!!!!!!!
Kat was in the flow. Where Julius Randle started with a bang, Kat just fit in, and got his so easy. Wasn't a fan of Towns, but he's so good in NY. Love it.
if you've seen town's track record, he lets the game come to him, he never starts off hot, he's a player who picks up the pace in the second or third quarter, and that's good, because he doesn't get desperate.
Unbelievable team win. Held the wolves under 47% FG percentage, outrebounded them by 20, Wolves took only 87 shots. Cam Payne still drives me crazy by jacking up quick 3 pt shots, but he did play effectively. If Knicks can use this game for momentum, maybe good things can continue.
THIS IS WHY YOU TRADED JULIUS....BALL MOVEMENT...KATT IS MVP & WE WILL ONE DAY SPEAK ON HOW TWO PLAYERS CHANGED OUR FRANCHISE BRUNSON & KATT BEST PG & CENTER IN THE LEAGUE WE'RE WITNESSING SOMETHING SPECIAL
I believe when we play other teams, as much as I love Hart, he doesn't have the length and the bill to switch on other bigs. He does his best that's for sure. But switching OG 3 and putting precious out there at the 4 the defense just looks much better. I think having Hart come off the bench as the four, and incorporating shamet in the lineup as the three, with payne at the two and Deuce at the one, there would be no drop off from the bench both defensively and offensively. I think we should seriously think about switching things up to this moving forward
@@keithdollar5187 Tibs have to b crazy not..allowing this lineup with precious and Kat.. also hart would rather come off the bench..and how I feel the bench would b stronger with hart leading it..and u know when hart get the ball he is going to push it and put pressure on the other team..
Seeing Thibs play Sims with KAT was eye opening and something that has to be looked at more until Robinson comes back. I think in certain circumstances Precious needs to start instead of Hart. The Knicks lack size sometimes and get out rebounded. Hart is a good rebounder for his size but against bigger teams he's not going to rebound like he usually does.
Precious at the 4 got us looking like a killer team💯 He is the big body we missed when we lost Randle . THIBS got to play that line up more💯I know Hart is in the lineup, but we got to which it up cause the defense was the best all year🎯
What the game showed ( KAT has already had great games ) was how good the team can be with ball movement not dominated by Josh Hart. Josh should come off the bench and give the team a very good second unit and at the same time free up the First Unit to be more productive!
That was about as complete a game as you will see. KAT is feeling more comfortable on this team with each passing day. Precious is getting his legs under him. Mikal has settled in very nicely. It’s evident that when this team shares the ball, it’s hard to beat. Other than drawing a tech, you saw vintage Julius - The Good and the bad. I think the discussion about the merits of the trade has been finally put to bed!! Let’s Go Knicks!!
Huge game....even though it was a regular season game, it wasn't a regular/ordinary game.....maybe closest game to a Playoff with the amount of pressure/emotions, etc. invested, and KAT was Amazing and efficient.....(Randle was impressive as well in the first half locked in and efficient, considering..).....Impressive win....bridges had a great game too, albeit none of the pressure and focus was on him, which he benefited from which is why I can't wait for the Playoffs....We'll Really see who's who......Shout-out to the Game Changer.....DEUCES.
Playing Precious at the four was forced on Thibs because of Josh absence. It worked very well. We know Thibs once Hart returns. Only 10 minutes for Precious. No Adjustments regarding using the bench unless it's forced. smh
OG needs to get in where he fit in!!! His play has plummeted since his 40 point game. Whats^ with that? If he plays like we know he can Knicks would blow out 90# of the teams on their schedule. Let’s Go Knicks very strong win last night fellas 💪🏾💪🏾
Randle makes the Timberwolves a stagnant offense even with AE on this team. KAT on Knicks with Bridges having the quietest 29 pts ever is scary. Less pressure on Brunson and OG. McBride is this generation's Vinny "the Microwave" Johnson.
_Precious in the starting lineup made the team more natural and efficient at every position_ Think Josh Hart would make the bench more potent and the team better overall.
The Timberwolves will return to MSG on Jan 17th. I'm willing to bet everything I have in this world that Julius will not be getting anywhere near the homecoming reception that KAT got in Minnesota. In fact, Divo will be shown the ❤🎉.
I'm a little surprised our great broadcast team missed the keys to this win that showed the potential of this team! That was the ball movement that happened with Josh Hart not dominating the ball in the Starting Unit ! Just because the Media got lost in the " Kat Returns Home Story and Kills " there was a much bigger story all game.
I alway was taking about..Kat need help..on rebounding and defense..that y tibs need to start precious..so he can help Kat and hart don't mind coming off the bench...
When given extended minutes, as usual another double double by Precious....I never understood why fans never really appreciated him and didn't have an urgency/want to resign him until there was no bigs left in free-agency.....All the best to JHart, but if he's out for extended time and we can play at/close this level, Hart as the 6th man gives our bench the boost that we need to best utilize the depth that we have, although Hart is great as a starter too..
Wally Szcerbiak was my favorite Timberwolves in his era. I hate the Towns Trade. We really miss him. Tim Connelly Screw our team a this easy our Championship quimistry year
While the Media is stuck on " KAT's Revenge " this game showed how good the team could be with a progressive coach using all of the talent he has right now! To Mark13618's great point taking away Hart's ball dominance opened up everything and everybody: Hart should come off the bench Bridges should be offensive focus 1A,1B,or 1C. When OG is not scoring ( which is often ) use Precious. Play Precious more at C with KAT on the perimeter. Give some minutes to Huk and to Sims at the C spot until Robby comes back or is traded. It's important to cut down on KAT's minutes as he is injury prone. Cut down on Brunson's minutes and play Payne and Kolek more if Shamet is not gonna be playing. What we saw last night is this team can have a productive bench headed by Josh Hart if Thibs would only get out of the team's way and use what he has and stop killing KAT, Brunson, Bridges, OG with overuse and develop the bench.
39 assist!!! 39 FREAKING ASSISTS!!!! Them KNICKS, YO!!!

We gotta get mikal involved early like we did tn..keeps him active on both ends of the court
It’s not a coincidence, no hart = more touches for Mikal
@@rnarine89I think hart should come off the bench. We’d be unstoppable then
Also. Now that OG is on a decline Mikal is now able to shine. In the beginning of the season when OG was killing I think it took away from Mikal’s shine. They play the same position and have a similar game

It was precious Achiuwa who helped get Mikal going early
Dang it, I love this crew! They’re good together.
There were so many *PAUSE* moments in their conversation. 😂😂
Sending lots of love to Josh I pray all is well

Just need mitch to come back to anchor the defense in the starting 5
Kat was in the flow. Where Julius Randle started with a bang, Kat just fit in, and got his so easy.
Wasn't a fan of Towns, but he's so good in NY.
Love it.

Double double from Precious should not go overlooked..
True!!!
At the end Bill Pidto had me crying talking about “I've grown six inches.” And Monica eyes lit up. 🤣🤣🤣
He was actually talking about in the screen he's grown 6 inches not himself, but had he said that to Malika Andrews, she'd have him fired lol.
This is the Knicks the fans want to see. Rebounding, assist, ball movement, defense was solid.
Unbelievable team win. Held the wolves under 47% FG percentage, outrebounded them by 20, Wolves took only 87 shots. Cam Payne still drives me crazy by jacking up quick 3 pt shots, but he did play effectively. If Knicks can use this game for momentum, maybe good things can continue.
MSG Crew is the best in all of BBall, right under the TNT NBA Live Team!
I'm so happy we got Kat he's truly been a big help, he's an incredible player. Way to go Knicks Excellent game, Excellent Win❤❤❤❤

I completely agree. Hart is great , but having the size and also player playing in position while bolstering the bench is the way to go.
Everything you just stated depends on coach Thibs.
Let's go knicks big Kat is the man. GO KNICKS
Great win for the Knicks! 🎉
Awesome by the knicks
I like this lineup with precious staring the offense looked smooth josh hart should come of the bench knowing thibs it ain’t happening
@@keithdollar5187 Tibs have to b crazy not..allowing this lineup with precious and Kat.. also hart would rather come off the bench..and how I feel the bench would b stronger with hart leading it..and u know when hart get the ball he is going to push it and put pressure on the other team..
Kat ❤is the real deal very exciting ❤❤❤❤❤
Kal starting to go to that next level….. we will be unstoppable period👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Literally have to get Mikal involved early in the offense like they did last night ,
But THEM ASSISTS DOE , 39 FRICKING ASSISTS MY GOODNESS
Knicks fans remember when we watched every team but ours to have Superstars? 😂 get used to this..
You wrote out my thoughts. For real. We never got anyone other than Melo to come here as a legit and healthy superstar in their prime.
Seeing Thibs play Sims with KAT was eye opening and something that has to be looked at more until Robinson comes back. I think in certain circumstances Precious needs to start instead of Hart. The Knicks lack size sometimes and get out rebounded. Hart is a good rebounder for his size but against bigger teams he's not going to rebound like he usually does.
❤knicks❤ KAT monster game statement. Bridges monster game to. Great win knicks.
MIKAL JORDAN WITH 29 pts
Monica gets to visit all the cities, you go girl.
That’s muy wife. Watch yo mouf.
This starting 5 is a winning team
@@kdrum47 💯 and very good when well rested.
KAT...#32... had 32 points!!!🔥❤
Gotta have the bench, though!
Knicks are going to win 🏆.
I love Monica and it would be a dream come true to bring back Dante
Great win, very interesting discussion here about the advantages of a taller line-up, with Precious
The real homecoming was when he got traded to the Knicks, he's from N.J. and grew up a Knick fan
Yup and always had a Yankee hat on wherever he went
I still can’t believe the Twolves traded all of those picks and flexibility for Rudy Gobert. Glad it’s benefitted us with KAT though!!!!
Precious at the 4 got us looking like a killer team💯 He is the big body we missed when we lost Randle . THIBS got to play that line up more💯I know Hart is in the lineup, but we got to which it up cause the defense was the best all year🎯

This is the lineup I have been talking about. Josh Hart should come off the bench as a sixth man.
That was about as complete a game as you will see. KAT is feeling more comfortable on this team with each passing day. Precious is getting his legs under him. Mikal has settled in very nicely. It’s evident that when this team shares the ball, it’s hard to beat.

Let’s Go Knicks!!
The ball is moving fast!! This is a very professional and unselfish crew..
Huge game....even though it was a regular season game, it wasn't a regular/ordinary game.....maybe closest game to a Playoff with the amount of pressure/emotions, etc. invested, and KAT was Amazing and efficient.....(Randle was impressive as well in the first half locked in and efficient, considering..).....Impressive win....bridges had a great game too, albeit none of the pressure and focus was on him, which he benefited from which is why I can't wait for the Playoffs....We'll Really see who's who......Shout-out to the Game Changer.....DEUCES.
@1:40 A sub at Randle
#32 HAD 32 POINTS!!! KAT IS AMAZING!!!🤯🔥🧡💙
It's rest...the Knicks always seem to play well after an extended break ( more than 2 days)
Playing Precious at the four was forced on Thibs because of Josh absence. It worked very well. We know Thibs once Hart returns. Only 10 minutes for Precious. No Adjustments regarding using the bench unless it's forced. smh
What a clown comment
@ My opinion is my opinion based on factual player usage or over usage. ISo I would say a clown response.by U
Please Fire Thibs
Knicks win, everyone is happy
OG needs to get in where he fit in!!! His play has plummeted since his 40 point game. Whats^ with that? If he plays like we know he can Knicks would blow out 90# of the teams on their schedule. Let’s Go Knicks very strong win last night fellas 💪🏾💪🏾
I think the Knicks won the trade.
Monica thanks for that amazing stat. KAT had 32 points on 12 shots. Just 12 shots.
Randle makes the Timberwolves a stagnant offense even with AE on this team. KAT on Knicks with Bridges having the quietest 29 pts ever is scary. Less pressure on Brunson and OG. McBride is this generation's Vinny "the Microwave" Johnson.
_Precious in the starting lineup made the team more natural and efficient at every position_ Think Josh Hart would make the bench more potent and the team better overall.
He would be an amazing 6th man with him and mcbride
Payne mcbride hart mrob when he returns that’s a solid bench
looool the msg team hilarious
The Timberwolves
will return to MSG
on Jan 17th.
I'm willing to bet
everything I have in this world that
Julius will not be
getting anywhere
near the homecoming reception that KAT
got in Minnesota.
In fact, Divo will be
shown the ❤🎉.
K.A.T. Knicks Asassin Tool💪

Defense, sure. Rebounding? He's has 13 20 and 20 games. Leads league in rebounding. He doesn't need help in rebounding.
Statement game for KAT.
This bigger lineup is great. I've liked Josh Hart as a 6th man for this squad all season.
12:16 they're just having fun at this point hahahh
M&M 😍
Wolves fans sick over Randle being guaranteed to be there at least one more season
KAT is a beast, but ball movement is key!
There IS some overdribbling - by Brunson
Right..lol. Felt like Randle was back playing next to JB when he started over-dribbling and slowing the game down.
When given extended minutes, as usual another double double by Precious....I never understood why fans never really appreciated him and didn't have an urgency/want to resign him until there was no bigs left in free-agency.....All the best to JHart, but if he's out for extended time and we can play at/close this level, Hart as the 6th man gives our bench the boost that we need to best utilize the depth that we have, although Hart is great as a starter too..
Should Precious be starting?
Wally Szcerbiak was my favorite Timberwolves in his era.
I hate the Towns Trade. We really miss him.
Tim Connelly Screw our team a this easy our Championship quimistry year
Achiuwa should be the starting 4 moving forward
While the Media is stuck on " KAT's Revenge " this game showed how good the team could be with a progressive coach using all of the talent he has right now! To Mark13618's great point taking away Hart's ball dominance opened up everything and everybody:
Hart should come off the bench
Bridges should be offensive focus 1A,1B,or 1C.
When OG is not scoring ( which is often ) use Precious.
Play Precious more at C with KAT on the perimeter.
Give some minutes to Huk and to Sims at the C spot until Robby comes back or is traded. It's important to cut down on KAT's minutes as he is injury prone.
Cut down on Brunson's minutes and play Payne and Kolek more if Shamet is not gonna be playing.
What we saw last night is this team can have a productive bench headed by Josh Hart if Thibs would only get out of the team's way and use what he has and stop killing KAT, Brunson, Bridges, OG with overuse and develop the bench.
From Kat to Lion King
12:00-12:32 .. 😬🤦🏾♂️
PLEASE STOP INSULTING LEON THE DON ROSE 🗽
He told to keep it tight on air 🤣🤣🤣🤣 makes me think 😂😂😂 then the other guy with the 6 inches 😂😂😂
(🧡💙🏀)
Now the Knicks are gonna go back home and lose to the Wizards then everybody is gonna hate them again 😂
FIRE THIBS
