Watching Knicks highlights, OG looks so much happier. And I'm wrong, or was he never this good when he was playing for us?

OG looks exactly the same. He barely ever reacts to anything.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

As OG's self proclaimed #1 fan, he absolutely looks happier in NY. He's more vocal on the court, after plays, including last night.
So in other words, he's a bit more human, rather than the nerdy emotionless schtick some of us find endearing , including myself.

Lakers trying to pawn D'Lo for Dejounte smh. D'Lo is a joke and I hope they don't get actual value for him.

He's making max money impact for the Knicks. He shouldn't settle for much less and there's no way Knicks let him go.

Luka is unreal. What an incredible performance.

Pascal has just beaten the Sixers and Suns back to back with two straight excellent performances. Starting to get comfortable there and that team will be even better with Haliburton back.

Having this many 60 and 70 point games is starting to feel silly.

The recent scoring outputs are amazing but imo it's too much of a good thing. The balance between offense and defense is out of whack. I don't know how the league can correct it.

I like the Knicks holding teams to 99.8 points in the OG era
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

League has prioritized offense. Hopefully Raps management has learned their lesson.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.
