Hopefully, WW can give us an in-person account tonight's matchup at Madison Square Garden!

A big reason (only reason?) KAT was traded to the Knicks was that bad-ass contract. He's being paid 58 mil this year with a player option for 61 mil next year, plus he is eligible for a whopping big extension now! KAT has publicly said he is not happy. While he is willing to give the Knicks a discount, he says the Knicks are not even in same ball park. Now the Knicks have come out and said they will not negotiate any extensions now, while they prepare for the start of the season, and there are other Knicks eligible for extensions now, too.

While I'm sure we will have our own extension drama to deal with next offseason, I sure am glad we don't have to deal with KAT's extension!

Anyway, I have no idea what the rotation plan is for tonight. It would be nice to see regular season starters playing for both teams.

Interesting starting lineup (not to mention the bench order!):

Timberwolves PR @Twolves_PR

Tonight’s @Timberwolves starting lineup at New York:

Ball
Edwards
McDaniels
Williams
Gobert

Out:

DiVincenzo
Freeman
Kuminga
Shannon Jr
Zikarsky

Very interesting. They are giving Cody EVERY chance to succeed. He's gone from coming off the bench with the Exhibit 10 guys in pre-season game 1 to starter! I thought he looked really good in the first pre-season game and pretty mediocre in the other two. Perhaps playing a narrow role with the starters will really bring out his strengths.

in the building tonight!!

Have fun

the blue jersey is the one I like the least of the 3, but man they POP in person.


The energy so far feels like a regular season game. (paid $150 bucks for halfway decent seats so it better)

Man those LaMelo threes are pretty when they fall

LOL, Brunson with a technical flopping foul. I bet they'll NEVER call that on him in the regular season.

Man, Ball and Ant are the new Splash Brothers. Both shoot it so easy.

That ball movement man. Brings a tear to my eye

I actually think it was not a good call...I would have been pissed if they had called it on one of our guys!

How about Williams starting out on Brunson? He looks good on defense, but has hardly touched the ball on offense.

Ball is such a joy to watch...double him at your own risk! He is going to be so good for Ant.
