You don’t really appreciate OG until you watch him play every night. Even if the shots not falling he can change a game on defense.

OG and Robinson in the NBA Cup were the opposite of basketball terrorists. They were basketball freedom fighters.

OG might be the most underappreciated player in the league

Lucaa4229 | Knicks

Indeed. OG with the massive steal with 7 seconds left to seal the game. Feels like he’s done that at least a couple times already this season.

Kat stick his arm up or stay with his man challenge

ProvocativeHotTakes | Knicks

7 | 13 hours ago

He’s normally a terrible 3 point shooter so that’s not the worst play. You expect variance to kick in. He just got lucky and made em tonight.

Fit-Bicycle6206 | Knicks

1 | 2 hours ago

He’s 36% when wide open (no defender within 6 feet), 26% when open (4-6 feet), and 14% with a defender within 4 feet. Sure, give him 1 or 2 with some space if it means being able to put pressure on Jalen Johnson. But after the first quarter we should’ve been sticking a body on him on the perimeter. KAT does the same shit with other bigs that can shoot and it’s infuriating.

not-a-potato-head | Hawks

3 | 13 hours ago

Problem is that he’s the only healthy center on the roster, Mo and Asa are PFs

shangalang69 | Raptors

3 | 13 hours ago

yeah ik

KP’s health, as everyone predicted preseason, is playing a huge factor in the Hawks’ success

mcheisenburglar | NYK

10 | 14 hours ago

There are now quite a few close games I can remember that ended with a serious defensive play to win it. Sometimes I’m more excited to watch the opposing team on the last possession and how the Knicks defend, instead of us taking a shot to take the lead.

shangalang69 | Raptors

lmao the only team in the league that would rather defend than take the final shot

They’ve lost 6 straight since Trae came back (he didn’t play in one of those, though).

I’m a big Onyeka Okongwu fan, since he was backing up Capela, and I love seeing him ball out and keep getting better in the starting role now.

Specialist_Office274 | Hawks

22 | 14 hours ago

He’s too small to be a starting center, maybe a PF

-orangejoe | NYK

5 | 14 hours ago

Yeah he was definitely getting bullied by KAT tonight in a way I don’t think Capela would’ve been. Do you think the optimal lineup is him next to KP, or is that still too soft because KP kind of plays below his size?

Various-Advantage229 | Hawks

Grouchy_Trainer_6183 | Knicks

23 | 14 hours ago

I need the knicks to get a killer instinct. They kept letting the hawks hang around and as soon as the lead would hit 13 points theyd lose focus and energy on d and would go through the motions on offense. Just bury a team for once, its been weeks now of this type of play. They did this a lot with thibs too and i have no idea why it happens.

TheTonyDose | Knicks

16 | 14 hours ago

It is the lack of point of attack defense with deuce out. There’s no one on the team besides deuce who is good at getting over screens (og included) and keeping up with quick guards. So teams can continue to easily get into the paint and kick out for open 3s which is why they can never completely bury a team.

fps129 | Knicks

6 | 14 hours ago

I know we beat them in the IST finals, but this performance won’t fly vs the Spurs on Wednesday. We need to clean up some of that bad uncharacteristic funk vs the Pelicans on Monday and fix ourselves up a bit.

airlaflair | Knicks

2 | 4 hours ago

Duce will be back for the Spurs so that will be huge, and maybe Shamet (likely not) who has need a good defender as well.

heat_fan_ | Raptors

22 | 14 hours ago

OG was the savior tonight

KAT and Brunson also played fantastic as well

MadSpaceYT | Knicks

19 | 14 hours ago

Hawks were on a back to back. Allowing them back in the game is a bit inexcusable but an ugly win is still a win

Shout out Brunson with the most ethical game ever

RegulatorRWF | Knicks

2 | 8 hours ago

Maybe, but we also were without Hart, Deuce, and Shamet. Last year we lose this by 15 and still play the starters over 40 minutes.

smalls_1804 | Knicks

1 | 4 hours ago

THIS. No way Thibs starts Diawara or plays McCullar, not to mention the fact that Kolek wouldn’t have been in the rotation at all. We’re playing a rookie who was the 55th pick in the draft and leaned heavily on a guy who’s spent his whole career in the G League. Yes it’s all ugly win but also teams come back from 17 like it’s nothing these days, a win is a win

RegulatorRWF | Knicks

2 | 4 hours ago

teams come back from 17

Surely that doesn’t happen often. I mean 17 points in the 4th HAS to be a win every time right?

hrashid88 | Knicks

Kevin McCullar with huge huge minutes. Great game for him aside from those missed FTs and bad screens. Happy to see him do well

Hawks need to get rid of Trae

billybayswater | Knicks

10 | 14 hours ago

Brunson iso ball in the last two minutes needs to be toned down even with how clutch he is. All the good things the offense does for the first 46 minutes just gets tossed out the window. KAT totally forgotten about.

PassMeTheBackwood | Knicks

12 | 14 hours ago

Mike Brown publicly confirmed that JB has the autonomy to wave off his late game play calls and call his own number.

Which, of course he does, but it can create scenarios like this.

airlaflair | Knicks

2 | 4 hours ago

Which we have to love with at times. Brunson was the savior 2 of the last plays before that miss. I’m good with a free throw line light fadeaway with Brunson given that his signature shot.
