Like OG I'm just learning a new team. Didn't realize Randle is a target on defense. Good scorer though.

he isn't that good defensively. now they have OG who can definitely pick up the slack for guys Randle usually guards.

Okay I forgot to factor in the whistle lmao haven't seen OG be allowed to be this physical against a contending level team.

OG looks good as expected. Excited for Quickley and Barrett today.

fit is important, so keeping pskills with scottie then adding jak doesnt work... its not the players.

OG is the 2nd most impactful player on the Knicks despite only scoring 9 points so far.

No surprise here.

ItsDanger · Post #1229 » by **ItsDanger** » Mon Jan 1, 2024 9:33 pm

One of the reasons OG wanted out is that he wants more attention for DPOY votes. That's a failure from ownership/league.

OG already has 4 dunks this game. It will be especially frustrating if he actually becomes an effective cutter for them, something he wasn't really doing here.

Vampirate · Post #1234 » by **Vampirate** » Mon Jan 1, 2024 9:37 pm

People forget that we beat the Wolves despite a horrible struggling Siakam at the time.

If we had a motivated OG at the Detroit game, their losing streak is very likely 29 games now and the loss is probably by double digits.

But alas.

IQ gona have to drop 20 points if OG keeps this up

why wasnt he cutting here? because scottie siakam and jak are in the paint :lol:

Also when hes playing with precious and boucher they cut even when they shouldnt. This roster is a disaster.

He was a willing cutter but you need good passing/ball handling to take advantage and the other guys just aren't in that style.

Siakam would wave him away and tell him to stand in the corner

Knowing this team he is gonna be missing alot of threes... It's a raptors curse...

Jalen Brunson is going to be the biggest benefiter of OG. They are going to play both together a lot and they will mask each other weakness
