Mitch and OG in the lineup takes some of the sting away of losing Randle for me.

THIS +100.
What did Doc do? If the Knicks called timeout, those 2 late 3-pointers wouldn't have happened, as Doc was emptying the bench, but we kept playing.

OG Anunoby literally has a wingspan that is length of half court. Im not entirely sure how he was shutting Giannis and Dame down simultaneously in the 4th, but I swear it was happening.

Hadn’t heard that name - that’s great.

Yeah, I think his ability to get his shot anywhere on the perimeter add a wrinkle to the offense that will only get better next season. I worry about him when the playoffs start tho. He has vic written all over him.

SO GOOD

Not sure Id be giving up on the game at that point - make the Knicks get the inbounds in. Its a huge game in the standings.
The bench lineup without Burks and with OG/Mitch anchoring the D is very coherent. I like it. Perfect timing for Bogs to get going.
This win basically sealed top 6. If Indy can hold on to 6 we have all good matchup scenarios.
Beat the Bucks 2 in a row, let's go Knicks. Beat the Bulls and we're good.

2 seed is a kind of a hot potato if you end up playing Philly with Embiid

No secondary scorer, getting killed in the paint, I'm not sure I see this 48 minutes of terror d with the Mitch/iHart combo. Mitch needs to go. I fear if this continues, Randle will get traded for KAT and his ridiculous contract.OG needs to be more offensively aggressive.
Was thinking something similar on Mitch and then he started cleaning shots and Bucks seemed to shy away from driving for a key stretch. Was screaming for I-Hart because Mitch was gassed but he sparked us for 2-3 minutes tonight. Need to get him on stationarbike for about 12 hours a day,
Mitch needs to shoot about 1000 FTs per day. I have a feeling that'll decide a game or two in the playoffs. 35% FTs negates the advantages he brings.
OG needs to get his 3 pointer fixed —- looking Josh like out there but the D is all-world.

I’d tank out of 2nd before I willingly faced Miami or PHI.

He needs help in that dept and has for years. I don't understand how he has not improved but maybe next year

I usually listen to the away broadcast and universally the other teams announcers drool over Bogey shot and scoring.
Worst thing we can do is get the 2 seed now I hope they are smarter than that. We’ve been so beat up I would rest final 3 games before I fought for 2 seed.
