It’s a really good concept. OG, and to a lesser extent Achiuwa, provide this value, which is why it was the perfect trade.

I think that was him most impressive play. He had several possessions he bottled up Embiid helping. Shut down half the floor.

OG Anunoby and Josh Hart’s net rating when on the court together is +30.6, 88.3 defensive rating

these guys are an absolute menace together.

I think our eventual "death lineup" is Brunson/Randle cooking with OG/Hart/Mitch doing their things.

Watching iHart stand his ground against Sabonis, and then have Hart and OG swarm with the help .... oh my goodness what an nightmare for a post player.

Yes Sabonis has been a mini Jokic this year- a triple double machine. At the end of the game he was dribbling around under the basket trying to find any space to maneuver. It was a defensive master class against a player who is playing at an absurdly high level this year.

BTW we haven't even talked much about how we also contained Fox. Fox is averaging 26ppg on pretty efficient shooting and shot 5/19. We were all over this guy- contesting his shots and hand in his face. He made some good cuts, but even with his absolutely absurd drible/spins, we kept him out of the paint on penetration and forced him into hard shots. The lurking Anunoby was a huge part of this. Hard and DiVincenzo also great on deflecting/ripping at the ball. And the McBride makes people work one on one.

Need to keep him healthy though. What the boys have been able to withstand is unbelievably impressive.

Definitely wanted to see him beat up their front court.

well he's either made of glass or Thibs is wrecking him. You have a rotation or is a shake the 8ball kinda thing?

Guy just came off surgery.. you know, scar tissue, inflammation... stuff like that

he's made of glass, this is who OG is, he's always missed a ton of games. He's played fewer games than even Embiid the past 5 years.

Not sure if you're being serious blaming Thibs?

If you look at OG’s history at a high level, you could draw the conclusion that he is injury prone. But, these have been one off unrelated injuries. The elbow is hopefully going to be behind him and he would, in a perfect world, not be playing.

We get it. You and MS. Its your thing. Call it out when he goes missing.
Wear it like you happy when "Your right".
Most of us are hopeful and that he can play 65-70 games season.
Last 5 years? He played 7 thus far. Got them weird covid seasons in there. First two he played 74 and 67. Embiid missed like his fisrt two years?
What ever. OG is not an iron man. We get that. The appendix was taken out 2019. Only an issue if he grows another one.

Gimme 60 games of OG over 75 from RJ/IQ.

Bingo! Healthy but guaranteed to be mediocre or more injury prone with a chance to be great.

we were one of the best teams in the NBA since the Jhart trade last year with one of the highest NET ratings, we were far from mediocre and loaded with assets and good young players to reach the next level.

if we wanted to take a risk to raise our ceiling why not trade for KP at 1/10th the cost?

OG wasn't the guy to go ALL IN on, not unless we traded for a star first, now we likely dont have enough assets to trade for a star.

You would have to go back to last season to try and cherry pick stats that made us look great. This was a new season, things change across the league all the time from season to season. This team was mediocre on both ends of the court at full strength for 32 games.

The KP stuff is just exhausting. You are the only person on this earth that talks about Porzingis with regards to the Knicks.
