[Vorkunov] Knicks head coach Mike Brown about the status of OG Anunoby: “I don’t know anything.”
God fucking damnit dude, I’m gonna wake up tomorrow to this shit
Well I don’t love that.
Can’t enjoy this win at all now. We’re done without OG.
we can win this series without him given the 2-0 advantage and Embiid’s problems, though it definitely makes things interesting.
Sorry, I don’t mean the series — I meant to say beyond this series. Even in this series, he’s our guy to defend PG. it’ll be tough sledding without him. I think he’s been one of the most consistent performers this whole playoff run.
yeah, I definitely agree with that. If he’s out and Embiid is back I think this series goes from pretty much wraps to maybe 70⁄30 in favor of the Knicks. And beyond that, we’d be in a really tough spot. Hamstrings are so tricky, who knows how long he’ll be out for but best case scenario he’s probably out for a week
We’d still have at worst 2 of the best 3 players versus Detroit
That was practically a tie game where you won cause 76ers had a couple of minutes of bad shooting at the end. Should win the series but not the most comfortable 2-0 lead to be hitting the road with
This game was a bat signal by the higher ups. The refs took Kat out most of the first half and then had to play cautiously on defense because everything was getting called. This was the balance in play for Embiid being out. I feel comfortable as long as OG is okay but if he’s not I’m stressing.
sure, I guess? It was just a weird game overall. No Embiid, only 27 minutes from Towns due to foul trouble and no Mitch. I thought the Knicks got good looks all night. Outside of the OG injury I feel very good
76ers were making everything in the first half and still couldn’t get much separation
This is kinda dumb when you consider that the Knicks won by 40 in game 1. The 76ers destroyed us in 3 point makes, shot more free throws, and still lost
Seeing as he was still running about, attempted a dunk, and waved for a three all after he started limping I don’t think its anything too serious.
Here’s hoping 🤞🏿
It definitely isn’t like two years ago where he could barely walk when he got hurt against Indiana. Best case is a cramp, worst is a strain which would suck monkey fuck
hamstrings aren’t something you can rush back from though, even if it’s a grade 1 strain best case scenario is that he’s probably out for a week
I’d be fine with that. We can beat the sixers. We just need him back for ecf
I’d be very worried if they dropped this game tonight. That 2-0 cushion is huge and in this series I really don’t think home court matters all that much
Hopefully Embiid comes back for game 3 and completely slows down their offense again
a LOT of the Towns passes are simply OG getting it in a good spot down low and powering through a tight window to score.
If he’s out, we’re gonana miss that a lot.
We need to get Anne Hathaway to MSG as soon as fucking possible
Peter?
Anne said she’d wear an OG jersey
Maybe? Ask? 🤷🏻♂️
I asked
He got his pee pee chopped off
All he said was he hasn’t talked to medical yet…. So how would he know anything
Through the force
I mean it would be kind of strange if that’s not one of the first things he did
IM HOPING ITS A SIGN HE KNOWS ITS NOT BAD
Does God hate the Knicks ?
They’re fucking amputating bro 💔
I will say that ogs hammy looked worse 2 yrs ago, which was also game 2. He’s game 2 cursed
I know he had a ankle I just but it looked like a hammy to me
The hope is that it’s just a cramp given that he still tried to dunk it and backpedal for a three. When he fucked up his hamstring against Indiana a few years ago he could barely walk.
And he has the history he does of issues there, so if he felt something, wouldn’t want to make it worse
We’re so fucked
You’re a coach then ask?
Knicks fans have been saying this about Brown all season
Why the fuck is he being so mysterious about it
What even happened
It looked to me like he hits legs with Maxey going up and lands a little weird and comes up hobbling a bit
This is the biggest test yet of if the luck any team needs to finish the job is on our side
Because if it doesn’t happen for us this year, it may never happen
I really want an ECF between a fully healthy Knicks and a fully healthy Detroit. This would be a disappointing development
i love how the “rest day” in the series is between games 6 and 7.
The rest of the games (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) only have 1 day off between each game
