No, but Cam Thomas does look cool throwing up a lot of those shots. He looks even cooler on another team, but I admire his confidence.

We need a third scorer. Sign me up for DeRozan, Brogdon, or Murray. DeRozan would be the RJ we hoped he would be

Can Mikal be the focal point of that second unit (without Brunson) that sucks offensively or would Knicks still need a more competent PG?

I mean the more talent you force into the starting 5 - ie. Brunson/Bridges/OG/Julius/Hart —- the more of their minutes you can trickle in with the bench but it sure looks like we need someone (a point) to get into sets and the paint. B Brown while not atrue point is pretty good at getting in the paint and has a really nice short game if we end up with him.

Yeah im starting to like Precious. He is getting comfortable in his role now.


I know he's no Tari Eason but did we find our back up PF?

He isn't playing PF is he ?

No - not yet but if he did we’d have little/no shooting at the 4/5.

DeRozan might be a tough fit. Would he be cool coming off the bench? How much would he be looking for on his next deal? I would be cool with him off the bench, but the team needs to come to understanding first.

Tari Eason can shoot.... Precious is not a PF only way he can be one on this team is if w had a stretch 5.

Games like this forge teams. Putting work in on the block. Chipping away with a common goal. And Winning. Hard fought win. But among my favorites this year despite how ugly it was. Need our rebounding back.
You know I gonna spin wit it

I wonder if OG can make a case for DPOY. We went from giving up 130 a game to being the leagues top defense, whilst losing our elite anchor in the process. Impact stats usually drive that award.

The first 3 quarters show that this team still has some holes, but man that 4th quarter was fun. Turnovers have been killing us ever since we started playing a more free flowing game. Randle has been a monster in a lot of ways but his TO's are still backbreakers throughout the game and a lot to overcome. And yes we need another knock down shot creator.

Such a fun game! One of the my favorite wins of the year highlighted by that play with Hart and OGA blocks leading to the Randle dunk! Randle was so good in the 4th! And Brunson continues to earn that All-Star spot! I watch him play and cannot believe he is actually a NYK! And we waited decades for a player like him! Shaq says he hasn't a small guard do whatever he wants since AI and he's 100% spot on!

Probably won't win it but he should get some votes. I've never seen a single player change an entire defense like OGA has.

We're 19-0 vs sub .500 teams. Great comeback, not so easy to do vs. better teams. I will be surprised if we dont get some bench help by the deadline.

The more I watch OG in a Knicks uniform, the more I appreciate how strong the man is. Really knows how to impose his will on the other team. Looking forward to seeing OG in the playoffs. His championship experience.

Derozan is an allstar no way he comes off the bench. But could definitely stager him a bit with OG in the second unit. He’s a closer and puts us over the top, obviously the worry is it stunts the great ball movement. But, he’s got a lot of ball left in him.

I think I would do 4-5 1s for bridges. He’s really good and defensively it would make this team unstoppable. If they can hang onto IHart and pay the luxury tax that’s a much longer window. I’m sure Brunson wouldn’t get greedy when it’s time to re-up if DDV, Bridges, hart and Archie are here. How much money do you actually need if you’re the starting point guard in NYC playing with all your best friends.
