We lack the roster to allow him to do so (until Mo is ready) to remedy that since losing IHart forcing the KAT trade. When OG was first traded for and he lined up at SF next to Randle & IHart. Knicks were 26-4 with him in the lineup including playoffs.

100%

200% he is in his prime now with the speed and such. He can always go to playing the 4 once he loses a step

Oh thank God! Not ideal, but could've been so much worse! Sit him on Friday. I don't want him anywhere near Embiid while he's iffy.

If we are looking for more defense when OG is out then we should play Sochan.

I expect to see Sochan ahead of Diawara in the rotation

Anyway, like I was saying, crow is the fruit of the forums. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sauté it. There's crow kebabs, crow creole, crow gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple crow, lemon crow, coconut crow, pepper crow, crow soup, crow stew, crow salad, crow and potatoes, crow burger, crow sandwich. That, that's about it. Oh and a crow emoji.

Reminds me of the Dave Debussure trade. Before my time but well documented. Traded Walt Bellemy an allster center and eventual HOF, and Howard Komives who started for two seasons before moving to the bench. The thought was move Willis to Center from PF. It created balance and chemistry. Dave did what was needed on both ends of the court.
Sad he died at age 62!

He The block, the Tip in, and his steady play thru all games..........
He is the MVP. Not a knock on Brunson at all. OG just been doing it on both sides of the court.
The level of play is in line with how he was before the Hammy strain.

The starting 5 all have been key at some point thus far.

Lets see how the rest of this series plays out.

OG (and Bridges) kept us in touch at least a little bit during the first half too.
