Knicks fan here today and happy with KAT. Tell Randle if he’s unhappy with wolfs. Come on back to NY will give you 2 million a year to ride the bench. 😂😂😂😂
in retrospect, we should have made a bigger deal of how welcoming a teammate Kat was. It also occurs to me that the way he accepted his "demotion" made it easier for other players to accept their role(s).
Yeah I don’t even care about this. The whole team is trash. The chemistry is completely dead. We should have left the team alone and just implemented the two rookies that were drafted. So many years dealing with this joke of a franchise only to watch them blow up one of the best teams they have had in years. Maybe they can turn it around, but man I ain’t got the energy for this.
To be fair I’m seeing a high value of fixable problems rather than just a few big problems that would be harder to fix. I trust the players and the coaching staff and I think this shouldn’t be a chemistry thing and Rudy should just know his role. He was not about to score on Scottie because he has no hands and can barely make layups let’s just be honest what type of a player he is. He should just run the offense and continue to set hard screens
I would agree if this wasnt Minnesota. Its guaranteed that something will go wrong in Minnesota. They havent won in Toronto in 20 years! I have seen the Vikings go to NFC Championship Games and bring everyone back the next year (one time, bring in a better QB) and still miss the playoffs the next year. I think even with KAT here, they would be underperforming here, too.
I partially blame Mackey. He kept hating on KAT which helped facilitate his departure. Way to go Phil! Show some class and accept your portion of the blame.
Any opposing team's offense is way better in each game than the Wolves... they refuse make a lot of easy basketball plays as shown last night; the correct play was to throw Rudy the ball. Many things could have happen - turnover due to his bad hands, dunk, foul/free throws, or another pass.
Karl Anthony Towns 100 out of 100 times last year would have made that pass to Rudy last year….those 2 are NOT going to work! I remember in L.A Rudy tried to switch on a pick & roll Randle “something the Wolves do all the time” and the new comer Randle was like hell no and it ended up with a wide open 3 for LA
We really undervalued Kat being the ultimate team player. I was so excited after we did the trade and now I'm realizing Kat was the heart and soul of this team. The unspoken glue that held it all together. I take back everything I ever said Kat we miss you..
Knicks fan here and this doesn't surprise me. We went on that incredible run last season WITHOUT Julius Randle. Half the fans wanted him to return and half didn't. And he never passed a lob to Mitch Robinson for an easy dunk. He is who he is at this point- someone who can drop 20+ but comes with a lot of flaws.
@@patrickhawkinson8399 That's true, but KAT helped the Wolves in the playoffs. Randle failed to come through in two playoff runs and the one he missed, they went to the Eastern Semis. Maybe a change of scenery will benefit both. We'll see...
i didn’t like the attitude of either randle or rudy in that situation. i think randle should’ve given rudy the ball, but to throw away the possession as protest was sooooo bad. that’s something you talk about after the game or during a timeout. then randle whipping a bullet of a pass at rudy’s knees was no better. they both have to be better. at least ant was a leader out there to these two guys that have been in the league longer than him. saw people say it’s the dlo thing all over again and im starting to see it.
@@AAONMS1 hahahaha, bro, nobody is giving up anything of value for Randle. Randle will be on the team all year and walk in free agency because the trade was a salary dump, not part of an attempt to build a winning team.
What’s happening is that Gobert hasn’t had a good stretch of games since that Phoenix suns playoff series. Denver series hits and he has his kid and KAT and Naz make a bigger impact than him. Dallas series was a disaster for him. The Olympics roll around and he practically was unplayable. Now through 15 games in the regular season, Gobert has been AWFUL offensively and defensively EVERYONE has challenged him and he basically looks old.
Finch needs to inform Rudy he has no offensive skills, and stop pretending to have post moves. Show him Dennis Rodman clips. He knew his strength and didn’t risk the wrath of MJ.
Mackey didn’t want to celebrate the KAT trade today?? Why?? We traded the most loyal player we’ve had in franchise history and a key piece of the chemistry 🤦🏻
"most loyal player"? randle? like when he gave fans the finger? like when his effort level would dip below 50%? more loyal than walt frazier, patrick ewing?
Dante has been absolutely terrible Besides missing wide open shots he turns the ball over in key moments The possession where there was seconds left in the game and we’re playing the foul game Ant got the steal Donte gets the ball ant is wide open for 3 but he dribbles around wastes time then passes it to ant too late ant has to force up a prayer 3 This has nothing to do with adjusting he makes terrible decisions
Gobert is a gamer who wants to win and didn’t look at himself at the time. Rudy’s hothead isn’t right but Randle doesn’t play defense and with these number of games played to date enough time has gone by to play together the right way like a team. To many guys want to be the star of the team or game,coach needs to tell them they are professional in the NBA SO LOOK THAT WAY.
Knick fan here. All three are amazingly talented players. Team culture is the key to each players success. Right now Randle and Ragu miss being in the Knick culture and resent being pulled out of it. KAT meanwhile is loving being in the Knick culture. Until this changes expect more of the same.
I’m a Knick fan. I truly hope that JR and Divo play well for Twolves. The problem is, that neither Divo nor JR wanted to leave NY. It’s never a good move to trade for players who might not buy in to your team. Especially when you are competing for a Chip.
It looks to me that Rudy has gone back to how he was in his first season with the Wolves... He is tired and moving slower. Why? He played for the Olympic team and played to the Gold medal game. I'm pissed that Connelly let him play in the Olympics when he's 30.
The reason why MN is struggling is simple. They got rid of a very very good player in Kat, and replaced him with a good player. They score about the same but everything else Kat is better. Rebounding, turnovers, blocks, 3 ball, etc. One stat that gets ignored is rebounding. Last year between gobert and Kat they avg 21 reb a game together. This yr gobert and randle avg 17. Thats 4 reb we just lost. This is a direct reason why we are losing games.
I just finished another Wolves pod where the guy said, "I'm not one to overreact, I don't chase the clickbait, everything will be fine." And then I scroll over to Flagrant Howls and see it's title 🤣😂 that's why I love this pod hahaha
Randle NEVER passes the ball to Rudy even for a lob. Always looking behind for bloody threes for his buddies DDV and Ant. And when he does, once in a million possession, he throws a shitful pass in Rudy’s legs. Seriously…
BS!!! Rudy is a 60% FT shooter with stone hands! I'll take Juju attacking rim with 1 v 1 from that close and drawing and 1 half the time. You seriously want Randle to defer to Rudy????
please ignore the The Obi Toppin fans. They are not Knicks fans. They blame Randle for Obi Toppin not being a good player. Real Knicks fans want Randle back.
Randle is to blame… give the ball to Rudy there. He scores, scores and is fouled, or turns it over. 2 out of 3 are good for the Wolves. Giving it to the guy who has a smaller player sealed under the basket! Rudy can catch when he’s stationary, watching the ball, and up top. He sucks on the move and when you throw it at his knees. Can we trade Randle today please?!! Julius ain’t the best ball handler either!!
This team was to close to win a championship with KAT , now they're back to a Play in team again, it must hurt, meanwhile Big Bodega is hooping with the Knicks
@@StrawHat-68Knicks offense looks truly elite. Their defense isn't great, but it's not bad. They also are still waiting for Robinson to come back from injury, he's one if the best rim protectors in the league. But regardless of record right now. The vibes on the Knicks are the complete opposite of the Wolves right now.
@@StrawHat-68you do know that the Knicks were building chemistry and now they are clicking ? You do know that they are missing 2 of their big men and deuce? And after tomorrow the Knicks will be 10-6 and wolves will fall to 8-8. Good luck with that record in the west
After the KAT trade I unsubscribed from this channel with the way you guys were glazing how great of a trade it was. Can't believe it's taken you this long to realize how wrong you were with that take 😂
Knicks fan here, this is julius at his best he devalued RJ so much with similar antics on the floor. Waving/looking off open teammates is his thing. Only passes he makes is passes that will get him highlight assist julius thinks he iskobe
Randle is an all star, your going to have those moments but overall Randle will get you 20 points and 10 rebounds and Divo will get hot and when he starts hitting those 3's with his defensive prowess you'll be grateful you got him. Coach has to make plays for Randle! BTW I'm a Knicks fan who wished we ran it back!
This is basically the play-in Gobert punch game but 15 games into the season. He's frustrating to play with when you're not used to it and he's not getting any younger, the Ant window is unfortunately not going to coincide with the Gobert window
There's so much context being left out when you talk about it being early. The team has played the easiest part of their schedule and have six losses against teams with losing records and were missing players. To keep trying to pretend everything is going to be fine is insane to me.
I got to be honest I've watched a little over half of the Timberwolves games and I see plenty of times where Rudy is open near the basket and they don't throw it into him
Conley is washed Gobert got the bag and maybe last year was the outlier Dante is missing NY and is air balling 3s Ant is back to caring only against good teams I hope we can stop hearing “patience” from here on.
Julius Randle is a tremendously talented offensive player but needs the ball for long stretches of possession time to get his points. He was perfect for the Knicks when they ran the offense through him primarily and had Mitchell Robinson to pick up the defensive work JR doesn’t handle.
Rudy has no offensive skills and can’t catch anything even a post entry pass. Why would we pass to an offensively challenged player even against an undersized Barnes, who is a really good defensive player, to try and score when Rudy has no bag of post moves? This has 2022 vibes written all over it.
I'm not going to pile on.....but we are talking about "paddles" Gobert, and the "well-traveled" Randle. Let's hope the team leadership can rally the troups.
Knicks fan here…yeah Randle could be frustrating at times. He isnt great during pivotal moments in the game because of his low basketball IQ. His strength is Iso ball in the mid range. If he dribbles more than twice he will either lose the ball or blindly jump in the air for desperate pass. He usually has about 4 turnovers. Also he cant be coached. He knocked away a Knicks assistant coaches laptop during a game. I also think he had most of our young players shook mentally. After separating from Randle look how much better RJ Barrett plays! My guess is to move him to a big market team with veteran leadership. Maybe the Lakers? Idk. Otherwise you will lose him for nothing. But keeping him will lose you Edwards! Pick your poison.
Randle has to move the ball. End of story. Coach cannot allow this to happen Randle was wrong but they are professionals Gobert can’t have his frustrations dictate the game either. Ant did not show great leadership either. Y’all are a team ain’t no room for selfishness. Knick fan by the way.
Julius should have thrown rudy the ball. Ruby had scottie barnes pinned with two feet in the restricted area, easy dunk or a foul. Julius randle has ruined the chemistry of this team just like he has pretty much everywhere hes gone. Mackey after this season is over i want you to do a hour long pod by yourself admitting you were wrong about Karl Anthony Towns and this trade in general because the Wolves are clearly worse
how was he the heart and soul when he never even made the playoffs without Ant besides the one year Jimmy Butler carried him. Ant is the heart and soul, he carried us when KAT missed 50+ games 2 seasons ago, and when KAT missed 20+ games last season. And Ant, besides the Dallas series always shows up in the playoffs, which KAT almost never does
It pains me to read ridiculous comments like these. The west has been good for years and to make the playoffs you need good teammates. Kat made the playoffs with Jimmy because he had a good player as a teammate. Same with Ant. Learn something. Anthony Davis was great and barely made it with the pelicans and I can name many more. I get annoyed with ridiculous comments like these
I really hope Finchy shows his disappointment in private with the team... same with Mike. Quoting from the IT Crowd: did you see that ludicrous display last night? I thought Dillingham played good last night. Couple of his turnovers weren't his fault, one of which Naz tripped. Not good that he twisted his ankle, hope he's okay.
Kat and Kyle Anderson look for Rudy all the time, sometimes too much but to be a great team you have to share the ball especially in a obvious situation like that. Randels can get that shot anytime he wants. I blame Ant too, he missed a lot of wide open Rudy. Ant should be averaging 3-5 more assist per game if he passes to Rudy more. I would look to move Randels, he a good player but not good enough to ruin the Timberwolves chemistry. Naz should be starting and getting 30-35 minutes. Minot, Shannon Jr, and Dellingham should be getting Randels minutes. Ant ball dominant, rightfully so, Randels ball dominant chemistry killer.
rudy had scottie sealed with 9s and randle waves him off with 6s on the shot clock. randle started driving at 5s the whistle and the only play being run was the iso or grenade.
I think the wolves really plan on trading Randle anyway I think he’s gone by the deadline. But I do not like trading KAT he worked all summer he was on a real mission best offseason he has had from what I heard then boom just gone. Feel like could of figured out a different way to save money
Look, people seemed to celebrate a few days ago when Randle hit that game winner at the buzzer and he immediately went to celebrate with his family. Oh what a nice man he is! No. He’s at work, playing on a team. A good teammate celebrates with his boys on the court and then with the family later. Randle is not a good teammate. How many times he gotta tell y’all before ya listen?
I AM A KNICKS FAN AND WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS FOR YEARS . Randle walks around and falls asleep on defense , only plays hard on offense if he’s involved , and doesn’t not mesh well within a system . It’s been obvious over here for a while he needed to go
More evidence that +/- is a worthless stat. Dillingham played great in his 9 minutes. Rest of the team were missing layups, bricking corner 3s, turning it over, and playing lackadaisical defense.
Knick fan here. Thanks for Kat. A real team player and a top big in the league. God bless.
Fellow knicks fan, and this comment is diabolical 🫡🤣

Rudy has no offensive skills and can’t catch anything even a post entry pass. Why would we pass to an offensively challenged player even against an undersized Barnes, who is a really good defensive player, to try and score when Rudy has no bag of post moves? This has 2022 vibes written all over it.
Man if we get one good year of Rudy we need to have a discussion
At least we're not Philly...
This defeat is Kat's fault, wait, sorry, it's Rudy's fault
Rubio would be a great backup point guard, high iq, locker room chemistry guy who also knows how to throw Rudy the ball.
randle or naz will be gone i would much rather have naz than randle after what happened
Trade randle the man is lazy on both ends of the court
I'm not going to pile on.....but we are talking about "paddles" Gobert, and the "well-traveled" Randle. Let's hope the team leadership can rally the troups.
Knicks fan here…yeah Randle could be frustrating at times. He isnt great during pivotal moments in the game because of his low basketball IQ. His strength is Iso ball in the mid range. If he dribbles more than twice he will either lose the ball or blindly jump in the air for desperate pass. He usually has about 4 turnovers. Also he cant be coached. He knocked away a Knicks assistant coaches laptop during a game. I also think he had most of our young players shook mentally. After separating from Randle look how much better RJ Barrett plays! My guess is to move him to a big market team with veteran leadership. Maybe the Lakers? Idk. Otherwise you will lose him for nothing. But keeping him will lose you Edwards! Pick your poison.
Randle has to move the ball. End of story. Coach cannot allow this to happen Randle was wrong but they are professionals Gobert can’t have his frustrations dictate the game either. Ant did not show great leadership either. Y’all are a team ain’t no room for selfishness. Knick fan by the way.
Thing is, Randle was going to make the shot. To sacrifice everything was dumb. That’s not randles fault bro
Don't worry guys we need 20-25 games to really determine?😂
Julius should have thrown rudy the ball. Ruby had scottie barnes pinned with two feet in the restricted area, easy dunk or a foul. Julius randle has ruined the chemistry of this team just like he has pretty much everywhere hes gone. Mackey after this season is over i want you to do a hour long pod by yourself admitting you were wrong about Karl Anthony Towns and this trade in general because the Wolves are clearly worse
Choo Choo......... a trainwreck
Gobert just needed to punch Randle on the sideline.
Ya Knicks fan here:
Julius doesn’t like to pass much… not as bad as Towns on D, but Towns is way better on O…
Randle will be gone by trade deadline this season. Randle is not a very intelligent person. Connelly will trade Randle away.
Meanwhile Kat is hooping on the Knicks, Kat was the heart and soul of this team
A petulant child was NOT the heart and soul of the Timberwolves.
You're funny
how was he the heart and soul when he never even made the playoffs without Ant besides the one year Jimmy Butler carried him. Ant is the heart and soul, he carried us when KAT missed 50+ games 2 seasons ago, and when KAT missed 20+ games last season. And Ant, besides the Dallas series always shows up in the playoffs, which KAT almost never does
@@nealbaker1718 that "petulant child" is balling while the people he was traded for suck. Keep coping
@nydibs what has Ant done without KAT? This year they don't have KAT and the team is garbage
It pains me to read ridiculous comments like these. The west has been good for years and to make the playoffs you need good teammates. Kat made the playoffs with Jimmy because he had a good player as a teammate. Same with Ant. Learn something. Anthony Davis was great and barely made it with the pelicans and I can name many more. I get annoyed with ridiculous comments like these
I really hope Finchy shows his disappointment in private with the team... same with Mike. Quoting from the IT Crowd: did you see that ludicrous display last night?
I thought Dillingham played good last night. Couple of his turnovers weren't his fault, one of which Naz tripped. Not good that he twisted his ankle, hope he's okay.
Kat and Kyle Anderson look for Rudy all the time, sometimes too much but to be a great team you have to share the ball especially in a obvious situation like that. Randels can get that shot anytime he wants. I blame Ant too, he missed a lot of wide open Rudy. Ant should be averaging 3-5 more assist per game if he passes to Rudy more. I would look to move Randels, he a good player but not good enough to ruin the Timberwolves chemistry. Naz should be starting and getting 30-35 minutes. Minot, Shannon Jr, and Dellingham should be getting Randels minutes. Ant ball dominant, rightfully so, Randels ball dominant chemistry killer.
I was watching intently on the defense during Rob's time. Rob didn't do anything to cause poor defense.
Cant WAIT TO SEE HOW THIS ENDS! HAHAHA
Randle will score 20% of the Wolves points while holding the ball 33% of the time.
Who would have thought. I'm enjoying the Knicks more than the wolves this season. Ridiculous lol
rudy had scottie sealed with 9s and randle waves him off with 6s on the shot clock. randle started driving at 5s the whistle and the only play being run was the iso or grenade.
I think the wolves really plan on trading Randle anyway I think he’s gone by the deadline.
But I do not like trading KAT he worked all summer he was on a real mission best offseason he has had from what I heard then boom just gone. Feel like could of figured out a different way to save money
if Randle was just going to get traded they wouldnt be trying so hard to get him integrated into the offense
That's just Julius.
Sorry, but Barnes is a good defender. Julius made the right decision. Rudy is a headcase.
This team is going no where this yr
No chemistry, no discipline, they don't even look happy playing
Look, people seemed to celebrate a few days ago when Randle hit that game winner at the buzzer and he immediately went to celebrate with his family. Oh what a nice man he is! No. He’s at work, playing on a team. A good teammate celebrates with his boys on the court and then with the family later. Randle is not a good teammate. How many times he gotta tell y’all before ya listen?
I AM A KNICKS FAN AND WE HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS FOR YEARS . Randle walks around and falls asleep on defense , only plays hard on offense if he’s involved , and doesn’t not mesh well within a system . It’s been obvious over here for a while he needed to go
More evidence that +/- is a worthless stat. Dillingham played great in his 9 minutes. Rest of the team were missing layups, bricking corner 3s, turning it over, and playing lackadaisical defense.
Timberwolves need to trade Randle for a backup center + picks. Naz needs start at the 4 and Garza can back him up.
Very disappointed to see Timberwolves revert back to being g a dysfunctional team. Where was Finch in all of this? Very unprofessional team.
How bad was Naz knee injury?
Trade Randle.
