Anunoby’s Return Creating A MASSIVE CHANGE For The Knicks… | New York Knicks News

OG an anobi has finally come back for the New York Knicks and I gotta say his return for the Knicks looked absolutely phenomenal but his return also marked something else for the Knicks a major shift a major change in the rotation and I’m talking about with the minutes OG an

Anobi played 29 minutes in his return for the Knicks you got to only think as the games go by he’s going to play increased minutes that means the minutes for the rest of the team is going to start the shift we’re going to break down exactly what’s happening for the

Knicks if it’s a good thing or a bad thing and what this could mean for the Knicks moving forward as we head into the postseason all of this and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make

Sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started the New York Knicks minut distribution will change significantly now that OG an anobi has returned to the rotation and I’m not surprised by this we all knew

This was going to happen there was no way we were going to allow all of these role players to continue playing 40 plus minutes a night as soon as ogan anobi was available and he was cleared to return and I knew as soon as he was

Cleared to return Tom thibo was going to play him as many minutes as he could possibly play him and I think OG anobi had some type of minute cap because he played only 29 minutes he probably could have played more but it’s likely Tom Tibido knew he could only play 30

Minutes or a little bit less than that so he played him 29 minutes and here was the result against the Philadelphia 76ers as you can see massive blowout victory for the Knicks 106-79 79 points the New York Knicks have held a team again to under 80

Points one time it wasn’t a win another time it wasn’t a loss and again now it’s in a win against the Philadelphia 76ers a legit playoff team who got back Tyrese Maxi yesterday and we’re still missing Julius Randall we’re still missing Mitchell Robinson so we still have key

Players out but let’s take a look at the minutes distribution and see how Tom thibo spread it out as you can see here Josh Hart played 39 minutes Dante de venzo 34 Anan noi 29 minutes like I said before folks he has to have some type of

Minutes restriction there is no way he’s only playing 29 minutes unless Tom Fido was specifically told Hey listen do not play him over 30 and I think that’s exactly what happened either way anobi plays 29 Brunson plays 27 Isaiah hartenstein plays only 20 minutes it’s clear the Achilles is still an issue for

Him they’re still ramping him up and they want to do so slowly and I have have no problem with that especially if Haren Stein’s okay with it if it’s going to make sure hartenstein is fully healthy and ready to go as soon as the playoff comes I have no issue with him

Playing 20 minutes here 25 minutes here even less than that some nights because at the end of the day it’s about the postseason being ready for that and being fully healthy for that Off the Bench presses a Chua moves back to the bench shout out to auua though play 24 minutes McBride 23

Minutes Bach donovic 22 minutes Burks only 12 minutes you see where I’m going with this as we get healthier as we get deeper we start to see who Tom thibo is going to likely keep in the rotation and players that are going to fade out and Fade Away what player played the least

Amount of minutes out of all the players that are usually in the rotation it’s not really a spoiler alert could we just reviewed it it’s Alec Burks 12 minutes you know what Alec Burks is starting to become situational that’s exactly what Shake Milton is like right now he’s

Situational at some point Tom thibo is gonna make a choice between those two am I going to go with a little bit of shake or am I going to go with somebody that I know and I used to trust but he’s let me down over the last couple of games in

Alec Burks Tom tho is going to have to make that decision but if we’re looking at the minutes and we’re looking how it’s breaking down it’s pretty clear the rotation is set and the odd man out at this point in time seems to be Alec Burks and once we get Randle back

Mitchell Robinson back the minutes the way they’re distributed the way Tom thibo is going to handle them it’s all going to changed significantly we just saw though that Josh Hart still played 39 minutes I’ll say this though Josh Hart played 39 minutes likely because OG an anobi was not available to play more

Minutes number one and number two Josh Hart was extremely effective while he was on the floor for the New York Knicks I don’t know if you caught it but 20 points 19 rebounds 10 assists on eight of 16 shooting Josh Hart is putting up Allstar like numbers that’s all I got to

Say about that he is doing things that we have not seen in Nick’s history for a very long time I believe this is the fourth triple double that he has for the New York Knicks this season in a single season I believe he’s the sixth Knicks

Player in Nicks history to do that that is insane for somebody that a lot of people were criticizing early on in the season saying that he wasn’t worth the money he wasn’t doing what he needed to do and clearly at that point in time they did have some type of argument to

Make Hart himself was saying he wasn’t playing like he needed to but it’s clear he started taking practice seriously his training seriously and his workout seriously because at some point in time it clicked and as soon as it clicked for heart he started going off and doing

Everything he needed to do for this Knicks team and I think he’s earned and carved out a large portion of the minutes that he’s getting under Tom thibo but once this Knicks team gets healthy I don’t know if he’s going to continue to ride the 39 minute Mark

He’ll probably go down to around 30 minutes Dean chenzo around 30 minutes Brunton on average around 30 minutes you see where I’m going with this I think everybody if Tom Tibido can have it his way is gonna play on average 30 minutes if they can if they need to play more

They’ll play more if they can play less they’ll play less the problem with playing less is Tom thibo he has some type of trauma Josh Hart even said the same after the game last night against Philly for some reason Tom thibo has this trauma where he feels like he has

To play his starters even when they’re up 30 points 25 points whatever the case may be because Sido continues to preach the fact that no game and no lead is safe because of the three-point shot and the fact that you got to watch out for

That you have to make sure that you put the players in that’s going to give you the best shot to win and often times it’s going to be your starters I don’t like it I definitely don’t think it’s the right approach going into the playoffs especially when you know you

Need to be as healthy as possible but I’ve come to accept the fact that Tom tho is goingon to do it going back to Josh Hart though he did say after the game there we go I told you once O’s backman minutes going down baby and that

Was Josh har on playing 39 minutes instead of playing 40 minutes and the crazy part is if he had played one more extra minute if thibs had kept him in for one more extra minute he probably would have got a 202010 game but he didn’t do that that’s the craziest and

Funniest thing about the entire part there it’s also pretty scary that Josh Hart almost had a 2020 game when we had OG and an Obi come back against the 76ers with Tyrese Maxi that is something to say but the minutes went down for pre

Atua we did see that if you go back and look he played 24 minutes a couple of games ago he was playing 35 minutes 40 minutes not anymore his minutes clearly took a hit and that was with OG coming back and we knew that was going to

Happen once OG was starting and prees was coming off of the bench once Randall comes back and then Randall’s in there he’s going to play even less minutes and I think we all have to understand that and acknowledge that we also have to understand that McBride getting 23

Minutes basically says to me that McBride is going to be the guard Off the Bench that Tom thibo trust and Burks is likely going to fade out of the rotation and like I said at the top of this video become situational like with Shake Milton and we saw whose minutes got

Affected the most precious atua when Randall comes back that’s going to be the same thing again and it’s going to be the same truth aa’s minutes is likely going to go down Hart’s minutes is likely going to go down and Hart might be thankful for that because he doesn’t

Have to play 40 plus minutes each and every night have to take an ice B B each and every night he can thank his body maybe a little bit more each and every night that he’s not playing 40 plus minutes he’s talked about it and actually complained about the minutes

He’s been playing for the last couple of weeks so I’m sure he’s thankful that a lot of these guys are coming back especially OG and anobi whose defense has been missed and as you saw against the Sixers it was needed because he locked down a lot of players Tobias

Harris for one of them he had two points he held Tobias Harris to two points it wasn’t only him the Knicks collectively played him well but when you hold Harris they’re basically second leading scorer I think right after Maxi when you hold him to two points you’re absolutely

Blowing out the Sixers and that’s what happened kudos to the New York Knicks shout out to OG anobi who looked great shout out to Tom thibo who knew exactly what he needed to do once he got OG back the minutes are changing the game is changing and a major shift is happening

We all have to be ready for it I think we all knew it was coming we all expected it but we didn’t know how soon it was going to happen well you know what all those questions were answered in just one game now we know exactly what to understand and look out for

Moving forward OG playing more minutes the starters coming back and playing heavy minutes and a lot of these role players playing less minutes but still being available and still being active they’re going to be locked in and they’re going to be focused waiting to hear their name called by coach Tom

Thibo because they know as soon as they come in they’re going to need to give that same impact they were given before and I believe in this Knicks team I think everybody has bought in and I think that’s exactly what they’re going to do if the next ManUp mentality can be

Believed when we’re out players then it’s absolutely going to happen again once we have our players back we are deep we are dangerous and you saw we’re blowing out teams and we just got OG and an Obi back what happens when Mitchell Robinson Julius Randall and Isaiah hartenstein are all fully healthy and

Playing their regular minutes again it means the New York Knicks are blowing out teams on a regular basis and if they’re doing that and they’re gaining chemistry and they’re going into the playoffs fully healthy watch out League watch out NBA because this niick team is

Going to surprise a lot of people make a deep playoff run and maybe find themselves in the Eastern Conference Finals maybe even find themselves in the NBA finals this roster the way they can play the Personnel they have went healthy anything can happen but what about you guys what did you think about

OG and an obi’s return and the way Tom thibo adjusted the minutes let me know in the comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button

Finally, OG Anunoby has returned for the New York Knicks and made an incredible impact. In his first game back, Anunoby played 29 minutes! He was largely effective in the blowout victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The Knicks and the Sixers are both down players due to injury. But while OG was returning for the Knicks, Tyrese Maxey was returning for the 76ers. But that didn’t seem to matter because of OG Anunoby, his defense, his impact, and what he means to this New York Knicks team. Which were on full display for everyone to see. However, OG Anunoby’s return has also created a massive change for the Knicks… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
