Brunson and KAT are a given but OG should make it as well.

Of course, some players are putting up numbers on bad teams because somebody has to, and this tends to favor their chances. But in terms of impact on winning, I think OG would be a deserving All-Star.

It doesn't really matter but I hope his play gets rewarded.

Is there a better all around defensive player in the league than OGEEEEEEEE (as Clyde likes to say)?

Besides the bigs who have an outsize impact on defense (Wemby, Chet, Gobert, Mobley), I'd say Caruso, Franz and perhaps only a couple others.

I think OG is arguably the most versatile 1-through-5 defender in the league. He's not the best defender per se, but nobody can credibly guard 5 positions like him.

I unfortunately have to watch this on ESPN. They’re gonna play up the Trae as a villain narrative, so this is a must win just to end this foolish narrative.

Jalen Brunson is 9-6 in his career against Trae.

Hawks only win if Trae can make his shots. He's going to be a checker tonight due to the spotlight. He's 38% from the field, 31% from 3.

#10 Brunson
#19 KAT
#42 OG
#65 Mikal
#80 Hart

seems about right tbh.

I think 11-20 can be reshuffled. KAT doesn't seem like a 19 to me right now.

No Josh Hart? That's a loss. This lineup has zero margin for error

Struggling players magically find their shooting touch against the Knicks. Must be the air at MSG.

He's better than AD, KD and Edwards.
