urkuri | Timberwolves

17 | 7 hours ago

I know people have mocked the continuity talk, but I think this is one of the biggest examples. We have seen that guys need time to adjust to playing with Rudy…and now that the new guys have had that time, they know where and how to get the ball to him as well as work on the defensive end.

nowuff | Timberwolves

2 | 5 hours ago

He’s gotten more lobs this year already than all his previous years as a Wolf

…probably

kcoe24 | Timberwolves

13 | 7 hours ago

2nd best in my opinion His best offensive season here no doubt. But his defense 2 years ago was a tad better. Hes still incredible this year but a tad behind 2 years ago. A 33 year old 7 footer to consistently do what he does playing 32+ mins a night rarely missing games is what makes him so underrated. He still impacts winning more then most for all the shit he does every single night.

guidethyhandd | Timberwolves

8 | 7 hours ago

I honestly feel like him sharing the paint with KAT had a lot to do with his defense being as good as it was two years ago. The fact that he’s improved this much offensively while maintaining his defensive prowess and being extremely heavily utilized offensively in other ways is why I feel like this is his best season with us.

FeanorEvades | Timberwolves

2 | 7 hours ago

I think 2024 was ridiculous. Obviously he won DPOY but he was an absolute WALL. This year is better than last year but I think he excelled next to KAT because he could sometimes play more help defense. His help defense is often better than his on-ball defense

Andy_Wiggins | Timberwolves

13 | 7 hours ago

Legitimately, this is probably Rudy’s most complete season since coming to Minnesota.

The defense probably isn’t QUITE as good as it was 2 years ago, but the passing and rebounding has been fantastic (by Rudy standards), especially lately.

renal_speedwagon | Timberwolves

The start was so awkward this year. Ant was injured out the gate. Played the Nuggets twice on b2bs early. Had the two brain farts vs Suns and Kings.

But through the noise, the starters have like a +15 net rating together and we’re 15-2 vs teams below 0.500 right now and like 5-3 vs teams above 0.500 when healthy. This team is taking care of business and is being slept on.

He’d be all NBA if he wasn’t a head case. When he’s not playing his former shorthanded team he’ll be back to normal. I don’t know why he acts like a cornball, makes himself look weird. Funny thing is that the Knicks answered all of his shots too.

Odoaiden | Timberwolves

2 | 8 hours ago

Are you just being intentionally argumentative. Head case usually means for players like Ja or Gil or Rodman. I assume your using it because Randle is a low IQ player but that’s not really the use of the term.

tropic_gnome_hunter | Knicks

-1 | 8 hours ago

Head case does not only apply to those players, it is a broad term perfectly applicable in this case.

Can’t even be mad about this one. Knicks are getting thoroughly bent over by the schedule and clearly prioritizing rest. Julius Randle is still one of the most important reasons the Knicks are where they are and it was really cool to see KAT get that ovation when he checked out.

GG wolves. Not mad at it deeper bench guys got some run against a good team. Tyler got to run against opposing starters and looked pretty solid (some bad but a lot of good).

Great learning experience, got JB and OG some much needed rest and sounds like Deuce and Shamet are getting close to returning as well. On to Christmas.

-orangejoe | NYK

6 | 8 hours ago

Team looked exactly how I’d expect missing Jalen and OG. KAT got whatever he wanted, but the offense lacked cohesion, and no one to contain Ant. I guess Brown wanted Kolek to try being more aggressive scoring the ball but he’s been so good for us as a distributor first and I would’ve preferred to see that for starter minutes.

The reffing was an absolute joke. Wolves took 16 more 3s but took 50% more ft’s than the knicks. Such a joke. And for christ sake man they were MUGGING the knicks ballhandlers and when guys would receive a pass. Fkn frustrating night of officiating.

LegitimateMoney00 | Knicks

-19 | 8 hours ago

I don’t usually complain about officiating but the way this game was called tonight was horseshit. T-Wolves just get to reach, grab and play as physical as they want on the perimeter and Gobert never gets anything called against him inside. This game never felt evenly called at all.

Alright downvote me for being a sore loser now.

butthurts00 | Timberwolves

2 | 8 hours ago

Kat had 4 dumb fouls

LegitimateMoney00 | Knicks

-1 | 8 hours ago

I never disputed that, but the fact that Gobert quite literally holds the arm of the player he’s screening on every screen he sets and it almost never get’s called is annoying. The Knicks fouls weren’t what irritated me, it’s the lack of fouls called on the T-Wolves.

ineednapkins | Timberwolves

1 | 7 hours ago

That’s usually how it is tbh. Even in football, most “lockdown” corners are just dudes that are grabby and handsy but do it so much they get away with it because they won’t actually be called for it every play. DJ reed is one who does this a lot, Joey porter jr too. Basketball is the same like caruso is known as a good defender but his play style is full of fouls that should technically be called but they just don’t.

tropic_gnome_hunter | Knicks

1 | 7 hours ago

I don’t understand why it’s not addressed either, because it has negative results for the players that benefit from it. Canada didn’t medal in the last Olympics because Dort and SGA thought FIBA refs would protect them as much as NBA refs.

Grouchy_Trainer_6183 | Knicks

-6 | 8 hours ago

Its the truth bro. Tonight was the first night all season where i actually got irritated by the reffing. Most of the time i can ignore it because it evens out but we were getting VIOLATED and werent allowed to be physical on the other end.

The Minnesota Timberwolves (20-10) defeat the New York Knicks (20-9), 115-104 with Anthony Edwards’ 38 point night!
