RJ and Donte have really impressed me this season.

IMHO RJ has started out with a much stronger all-around game than last season. That's the first time I could say that. And yeah, that surprised me.

And Donte....I just expected a better-than-average 3-point shooter. But the MF has the pugnacious, scrambling gene that you see in Hart (and Brunson). What the fuck did they feed those guys in Villanova?

Look like winners to me.

Minnesota is for real.

As losses go....not an awful one.

Save for the first minutes in the 2nd half, which were atrocious, Knicks were cold and unlucky while the Timberwolves were hot and on a roll. It happens. They worked hard throughout though.

Funny how much of an impact IQ makes when he's not on his game; I'm used to to the dude singlehandedly making any game competitive.

Same as Boston game.

Neck and neck in the first half

Got blitzed in the third quarter

Happy for the Wolves

Great chemistry

Sitting atop the west

Hope they stay healthy

We only play half the Heat tomorrow. Got to watch out for Lowry and keep our heads, but it looks like a good opportunity if we can start each half with enough energy.

That was a miraculous turn around and a great result. Not sure whether I will care about this tournament thing yet, but getting the game from Miami and getting to 9-6 is very encouraging. I still have my concerns with this team, but the top nine guys certainly do their jobs.

TOP 9

Worth noting for the Thibs Haters, beefing about his 9 man rotation.

Check the box scores.

With the exception of Orlando's Mosley,  damn near every NBA coach runs a 9 man rotation.

PS: Props to IQ, might not show up in the box score, but man did HARTENSTEIN ever man up.

Good chance the Suns bring us back down to earth.

Not an awful game, but a tough loss. Time to bounce back

Just a public announcement.

IQ is awfully good....and is one of those guys that just keep getting better and better.

I would NOT let him go anywhere.

I agree.

Unfortunately I have no idea at all what Rose and his team are going to do.

I believe IQ being so marketable, and on an affordable contratct,  the front office kept trade options open in the event something irresistible came along

Having said that, with Fournier coming off the books next summer, IQ gets RJ money.

Knicks are going to Vegas. Randle with his first 20-20 game. Hart with some vintage play. He griped and then he showed out which, if you are gonna gripe, is the right way to do it.

10-7 is not a bad way to start the season.
