Obviously he will get paid by the Knicks, but he's not getting a bigger offensive role.

So far he's been playing great but averaging 12ppg on 10 shot attempts whereas before he was averaging 15ppg on 12 shot attempts. He'll never be more than a 3rd option on the Knicks which is basically what he was on our team.

23 points tonight. They're seeing he can score, will start looking for him more

Yeah we've seen this before...the question with OG is he can score like this consistently? Earlier this season he had consecutive games of 29 points and 22 points followed by games of 7, 5, 9 and 12 points.

I'm sure they are fine with OG scoring 7,5,9,12 points if his defense stays the same.

I'm seeing that Randle and Brunson can go even more iso heavy than Fred, Scottie, Pascal. At times last night the ball moved nicely and found its way to OG. Clyde commented on the sweet ball movement early on. But later sometimes Randle and Brunson just took shots, no one else touched the ball. I hope they can evolve into a more ball sharing offense, it gets OG, Donte, Grimes, McBride and others more involved.

Imagine thanksgiving at Leon Rose's house.
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.

Knicks are 8-2 since OG arrived

OG shooting 52/44/91

and as per the post above his +173 in those 10 games is an NBA record for joining a new team

With Thibs playing OG 40+ minutes every night it's only a matter of time before he gets hurt and OG is already an injury prone player.

His last 3 games he's played 43, 43 and 44 minutes...insane.

In terms of stats, he's doing what he did here, just playing a few more minutes and slightly more efficient.

15ppg, 5rpg on 52% fg and 43% 3fg compared to 15ppg, 4pg on 49%fg and 37% 3fg.
