This kid is really something! I did not watch the game. Did Giannis not guard KAT at all? Portis? I know OG was on Giannis, but was he guarding OG the whole time?
They did put Freak on Towns for a spell, but nothing was stopping KAT last night except shooter's wrist.
Giannis getting KATnipped:
Who makes these avatars? OG doesn't have braids. He's the anti-braid
Remember they called Gary Payton "the Glove"?
I just realized OG stands for the "Other Glove"

6’8+ version of Josh.
Been thinking about guys in general that might fit…not necessarily PF types but swiss-army types with a little size that could play with/without Jalen and guard 1-3 in spots.
Caruso probably would have been perfect.
Bruce Brown from 2 years ago —- often served as Nuggets ball handler outside Jokic
Kevin Heurter - big guard, some dribble, defends and can shoot decently
Marcus Smart
Deni Avdjia
From the old days Boris Diaw and Doug Christie —- is Scottie Pippen available?

So it’s the defense and crunch time execution that we have to clean up.

That game keep infuriating me so much. Total disregard by the Knicks. I hope it was a wake up call for them. They are talented but you don’t try, anyone can humble you in this league.

The key is Bridges. You get this man right and we fly.
One Freak negated the other.
The longer this kid is with us we get more to appreciate.
When Knicks succeed few complain in hindsight. RJ is doing well and I gather IQ will get on the court at some point.
He missed 12 of 38 games last year and 8 0f 10 this season. 22 games of 48 combined.
Hope this is not a trend for him after being very durable as a knick.
Bottom line is OG was a revelation to us last year and while it was suspect Leon paid a steep price and his contract is not cheap, he brings the quality on the court in ways beyond the stat sheet. For fans of defense he is a star!
