Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I do find it interesting they're "pessimistic" about Game 3 specifically, am I reading too much into it to say thats a good sign? Like I'd be more worried if they were like 'pessimistic he'll return for the series, or even the playoffs' something like that would be more alarming.. idk maybe I'm just hoping.

I optimistically interpreted it the same way. Like they are looking at this as a game to game injury.

Game 3 even being on the table is encouraging.

Wrap up that leg, shoot him up and send his ass out there.

Not trying to curb your optimism and I certainly hope you are right but given how team's leaguewide (not only Knicks) treat injury related stuff it could just be a smokescreen to keep the Pacers guessing. See Giannis---after the series was over it was revealed he was nowhere near close to returning. Even if today the Knicks know 100% that OG is out for game 3, they would likely keep it somewhat vague (like in that announcement).

The Knicks at this point have certainly done an MRI. They know the exact extent of the damage to that muscle. If they don't announce any results of the MRI I would definitely curb my optimism and expectations. The only reason not to announce those would be if the damage is so big that by today they actually know he'll be out for the entire series but do not want to announce it. If the MRI results revealed no structural damage and just a very slight strain, they would certainly make that public.

Well yes. That's certainly not ideal.

This tweet and the proliferation of 3+d guys that shoot 40% while taking absurd difficulty and attempt numbers

Means

We need to recalibrate how we think about 3pt%, and how “35%” from three is now being a bad shooter.

What this tells me is the Knicks give up a lot of 'wide open' 3s..

[Capn'O]

My guess is he's day to day and misses tomorrow.

That's crazy. Indy is basically double the next in line.

They're punching above their weight class and this is why. But, as you say, it doesn't win big.

our defense is based on that principle


we help, we dig, we stunt, we rotate

in order to defend the rim better at the cost of

depending on the runout to contest the 3.

[ScienceOfLosing]

My guess is he's day to day and misses tomorrow.

I hope so but OG couldn’t walk or put much weight on it. This would mean bad cramp and not tear.
If torn he is out for plyoffs most likely.

I think we can finish Indy with Precious and let OG rest for Boston. I we look sorry without him then if he can try to play then yes.

I expect him back no sooner than next season's all star break

[GONYK]

We can beat Indy without OG. They are playing with regular season intensity.

My medical opinion is that he'll miss the Pacers series but could be back for the Celtics if we get that far (we will).

[seren]

Assuming OG is also out so Precious starts, who else is left on the bench that played any meaningful minutes the whole year? Sims and Burks? Who else? With all the trades, I don’t even know who we got available.

This doctor thinks OG had a more minor hamstring injury. He predicts a few games.

yeah i said the same thing yesterday. even without og we can still beat them. they aren't that good of a team. as long as brunson is good enough to play we should win

[3toheadmelo]

in regards to og's injury it's tough to say if he's day to day or out for an extended amount of time. his elbow thing was a day to day injury at first too. i guess if he plays on friday that should give us a good indication about his health

We could play Jericho but what’s the point? We need to score. We need 115+ and they are at home


It’s Burks and shake milton. Sims isn’t playing unless ihart gets hurt
