Is it just me or does OG show more emotion in NY compared to when he was here?

Giving OG iso possessions doesn’t seem like a smart idea for the Knicks lol

100% does, didn’t even show this emotion with us in the playoffs.

He’s where he wanted to be, can’t blame him.

In hindsight, I think he wanted out for a long time.

OG has clearly been implemented as the 2nd option; quite something

they were plenty mediocre with OG/Pascal with a better coach at the helm. can't just look at the failures of this season because it goes beyond that as to why og/pascal didn't work out. it wasn't on darko at all

Agreed. These guys were surrounded by zero shooting and a bench full of scrubs for how many years?

the defense is still bad but they're playing hard and the knicks are used to being the scrappy underdogs and they're getting beat at that. def a series where randle would've been good to relieve the pressure on brunson

masai went nuts after trying to pursue giannis and forgot that we also had great guards/bigs when winning that title
