    Last 5 games of 127 avg pts giving up to other team

    Today 106, OG defence impact already

  2. Having Josh Hart and Quentin Grimes as your 2nd/3rd best defenders to throw against opposing wings/guards is actually so fucking unfair bro lmaoooooo

  3. CapSRogers

    1-0 in the OG Anunoby era, and we get this win against the best team in the West. We don’t win this game without his defense and three point shooting, he also had that man Anthony Edwards in hell when he was in the game (he had most of his points when OG was on the bench).

    ALSO, WE JUST WITNESSED JULIUS RANDLE OUTPLAY KARL ANTHONY TOWNS AND ANTHONY EDWARDS ON NEW YEARS DAY. Emotions aside from the past two days, LET’S FUCKING GO KNICKS FANS!!!!!!

  4. Overnight we have become a fucking force! We made a good move, right out the bat OG delivered. Looking forward to many more!

    Excellent clutch moments from Randle, and showing up with 38!!! This was an INSANE W!

    Happy New Year to us!

  5. Alive-Back-4843

    The T-Wolves really fouled and called timeouts just for KAT to brick a three lmao. Randle is a superstar. OG was a great addition. Nuff said

  6. STOP DOUBTING RANDLE

    STOP DOUBTING LEON

    STOP DOUBTING THIBS

    WE GOT A FUCKING SQUAD AND WE GONNA DOG WALK THIS BUM ASS LEAGUE

  7. LetsGetSomeChickenn

    ![gif](giphy|scftgIpdF1V3eFED52|downsized)

  8. GoldenBoyRecords

    OGs impact on our defense is immediate and his corner shooting. I still feel like we need another ball handler but this was a great win

  9. insideman56

    RJ gets traded and this man Randle is cheesing more than I’ve ever seen lol

  10. NotFabioBorini

    JULIUS RANDLE YOU DROPPED THIS 👑

    What a sunday for me with Liverpool and the Knicks winning today and fuck it we both gonna win it all I believeeeeeee

  11. BenAfflecksBalls

    First game that we’ve taken from a top tier team all season. OG’s first game.

  12. Beautiful-Salary7553

    I ain’t never seen Randle smile like this he must have hated Rj lmao

  13. teknomatic

    I’ll always have love for RJ and IQ, but neither of them can replicate the defensive impact that OG just gave us. We don’t win this game without him

    Happy New Year motherfuckers

  14. HardOakleyFoul

    absolute MVP performance from Randle today, holy fuck. OG looks like the answer to all our problems out on the perimeter. let’s hope he stays healthy.

  15. Main-County-1177

    Brunson shot 5/23 and we just beat the 1 seed in the west. This team is good. Big impact felt already from OG, give Randle his flowers

  16. BasicWilliam

    Brunson had arguably his worst game of the season yet we STILL beat the #1 seed in the West, not to overreact but we’re legit

  17. Yankeeknickfan

    Randle was an all nba player with a black hole that killed our spacing starting at Sf

    Maybe he somehow gets better now(and I hope has 2 functioning legs in the playoffs)

  18. enjoy OG yall, best 3, Defense and Dunk guy in the nba. Even when his shot isnt going in he’ll never be a negative cuz of his defensive intensity, athleticism and hustle

  19. chicken101

    With RJ and Quickley we lose this game. OG makes us better

  20. itsGrimyoutside

    OG’s defense for sure elite. But those off ball cuts,
    Being in the dunker spot for a few easy dunks really shone today.

  21. asapfetty

    Each NBA All-Star Vote counts 3x today y’all better be voting for Randle after this performance

  22. MyLadySansa

    Jules refused to let us blow this lead. He refused to let us lose. Respect that man. He was amazing.

  23. OG is a better cutter, dunker, shooter and defender than RJ. Having him out there with the starters was night and day. With IHart, and Divo playing out of their minds, if thibs can figure out the bench rotation or we can make some more moves at the deadline, watch out.

  24. NoScopeMusical

    – The new look New York Knicks snap the losing streak, and it’s done in style.
    – The Timberwolves are one of the league’s best teams and the league’s best defense. Beating them is not easy at all, yet we managed it.
    – A rare off-night for Brunson (shooting wise), so Orange Julius took over in crunch time. Took and made some great shots. When he’s on, he’s **on.**
    – OG Anunoby’s Knicks debut was a good one. 17 points and great defense. Fantastic on both ends of the floor. The sixth foul was a horseshit call.
    – The Hart Foundation was in full effect tonight. Donte was great, too.
    – Julianne Moore is 63, and she can still ruin my life. Fine wine
    – Big team win – great way to start the new year! On to Chicago!
