The Knicks are kind of who we thought they were
Plus, why are the Timberwolves struggling and can Russell Westbrook really keep this up?

We’re back! This week, Kristian Winfield, the newest member of the SB Nation NBA team, joins us to discuss his hometown Knicks, the struggling Timberwolves, Russell Westbrook’s triple double madness, and more.
Specifically, we talked about:
- Are the Knicks overachieving, underachieving, or achieving?
- Should the Knicks keep Derrick Rose after this year?
- How are they using Kristaps Porzingis differently?
- Is there anything they can do about Joakim Noah’s awful start?
- Is Karl-Anthony Towns taking on too much of the burden for the Timberwolves? We riff on Tom Ziller’s interesting column from Wednesday and wonder what else explains their slow start.
- Can Russell Westbrook really average a triple double? And when we watch the Thunder, do we really care about anyone other than Russ?
