No, it was a great time to play them, and paddle them.

The reality has been far different, as neither team achieved the success they envisioned.
It was Rambis’ first victory as a head coach since March 11, 2011, when he was guiding Minnesota. NOTES: Among the things newly hired Brooklyn GM Sean Marks said during his introductory press conference were the coaching search will be worldwide and he plans to expand the team’s scouting and front office staff….
Milwaukee 117, at Atlanta 109 (2OT): Jabari Parker had career highs of 28 points and 13 rebounds, Greg Monroe added 24 points and Bucks outlasted the Hawks in double overtime to end a six-game road skid.
With the second half kicking off, here are the Knicks biggest stories to keep an eye on as we begin the push to the playoffs!
The Nets’ response to losing in the 2013 playoffs was the trade with the Boston Celtics that brought in Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Atlanta has lost three straight at home for the first time since March 2014.
The Timberwolves, who have won four of six at Target Center, have averaged 109.7 points over their previous six games overall but allowed 110.5 in the same span.
Williams’ time with the Nets is marked by injuries and how he never lived up the hype of a franchise player.
In the last few minutes, Wolves fans saw some glimpses of why their young stars were so spectacular on All-Star weekend.
A night after Minnesota played a competitive game throughout against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Minnesota Timberwolves turned in a disappointing performance against the 23-33 New York Knicks. NY F Carmelo Anthony said during the morning shootaround that he does not feel major soreness in his left knee after the last two practices….
The Knicks also got a huge game from center Robin Lopez.
The Nets still have Brook Lopez, Thaddeus Young, and Joe Johnson is in the final year of his contract.
Rambis was head coach of Minnesota for two seasons and posted 15-67 and 17-65 records.
NY jumped out to a 13-point lead less than five minutes into the game and seemed destined for an easy win. And Brooklyn took full advantage of it, led by Brook Lopez – who scored 13 of his 33 total points in the second quarter. He’s been making a conscious effort to be aggressive, be in attack mode and there’s a couple of shots there late I didn’t like, but he figured it out and got closer to the rim. “We’re looking at ways to try and get Brook touches on the move instead just directly throwing it into him in the post”.
“We had no energy, Wiggins said”. “I’m hoping that they feel at ease and we can just go out and play ball”. The first one was clean and sailed out of bounds. So it’s a step in the right direction. It looks uninspired, especially against teams that we’re better than, like the freakin Brooklyn Nets. Everything is situated out here.
