Knicks vs 76ers Reaction: Josh Hart Makes History, OG Anunoby DOMINATES!
Nicks came out here strong and of course it was headlined by none other than OG and anobi on his return CK this guy comes back off of getting surgery on his elbow to remove I think it was a floating bone right and this guy comes
Out here gets you 14 points six on six of 11 shooting Nick knocks down two of five from threes gets you four rebounds two assists one steal but the statline doesn’t do a Justice the stat line does not do what he did tonight Justice because when you just watch him on
Defense man this we got to in the games and not box score watch when you watch him on defense versatility is how I describe his game this man was covering everybody didn’t matter it was on the perimeter in the paint whatnot and he was doing everything he needed to do on
Defense as well as offense because this guy was not only knocking down shots right he was creating for himself he was cutting getting these open passes and then look he looked fine CK he looked fine he’s making dunks you know every time he’s going up there you worri that
You know you’re worried about that elbow but this man is still still making it seem like it’s all good and Breezy easy out there so Og man on his return Nicks get back in that winning column what were your thoughts about his game tonight yeah I I think
There’s the concern a lot of us have we saw the the heavy ice on the the elbow but we we knew that he was going to be coming back at like 75 80% he’s still playing his first game back from the surgery he did come back from a surgery
He is medically cleared he’s good to play the ice we got to let that slide we be okay but other than that like you said man the way that he spun into that dunk in the um third quarter I’m not concerned he’s doing just fine I also loved seeing the mid-range jumper maker
Reappearance because that was one of my favorite uh new found tricks from OG noi since he’s dawned the Knicks jersey uh because we didn’t see much of that in Toronto um and we saw right before the injury he was doing a lot of that um so
We got a little bit of a taste of that so that’s not going anywhere because I love that aspect of his game but more than that is the defense it just it just opened up for everybody and just him being on the floor I’m out there watching uh bogdanovic and and Dante
Over there sliding their feet playing crazy defense and now getting stops uh just his impact is is incredible so happy for him to be back uh the team looks better with them there and you know better late than never because if I had to watch another 73 to 79 game
Against the 79ers I wouldn’t have been happy and OG was a big part of the 79ers yo watch OG back on the court man I gotta ask you do you think that this it’s just noticeable right how this team as a whole takes a step forward and
We don’t even have Randall back we don’t have Mitchell Robinson back like isaah hartstein you can still like he’s looking good like it looks like he’s getting back to the swing of things but you still you see like there’s some instances where he’s worried about his
Achilles but even with all of that how much of a leap do you see this team taking moving forward with OG back or is it just because we’re playing a depleted 76ers team no uh I’m I’m not I’m not using that excuse anymore cuz we depleted too
Even with OG coming back into the rotation we are still very much depleted missing guys like Mitchell Robinson All Star Julius Randall don’t talk to me about us not being depleted yes Julius uh uh Joel and beid is a big piece of the Philadelphia 76ers but they still
Got Tobias over there who was we were hearing was having a good season this year before the injury this name that name so I the depleted stuff I’m still taking that badge over here because we still got to get our pieces back before The Infinity Gauntlet is ready to go um
But for the main part to your question um yeah no it did we need we need games like this and um I think one of the the good things we were eight and 10 since January 27th when we lost ogan and Obi which isn’t great but it’s not terrible
Either because we were able to win some big games after sliding from some other big games during that stretch of game so now you’re seeing OG come back and you’re instantly seeing what we’ve been missing that perimeter defense we’re seeing that he can help us with an extra
15 to possibly 17 maybe on some good nights in the 20s from ogan and no be something that we didn’t have before and my favorite aspect is now if OG is making that corner three or if OG’s making any shot Jaylen Brunson is about to get a little bit more open and also
Tonight if you’re having Josh Hart Contin to play aggressive as he’s playing brunton’s going to keep getting a little bit more open and maybe he won’t be the most double team player in the NBA anymore so there’s so many aspects to just having oan noi back so
It can’t go anywhere but up from now and hopefully the Knicks ride that high and not get too complacent knowing that we just got one of our guys back we still got to play with that we’re down and out mentality and we going to make sure we
Prove everybody wrong I think we’ll be fine Josh Hart getting that triple double 20 points 19 rebounds 18 of those were defensive and 10 assists went eight to 16 from the field today Josh Hart just on one not a big fan of the plus minus St but he got A plus 32 tonight
Josh Hart doing the damn thing tonight helping the New York Knicks man gets a standing ovation and rightfully so Josh Hart fourth fourth triple double this season CK pretty pretty sure that it is his fourth care career-wise all four of them coming in this season alone kudos to Josh AR man he’s been
Doing the damn thing yeah I I said too fault I meant fourth I I meant to say too recent cuz he had on the other week but yeah no 100% uh like like we were saying like he proved tibs right um the spacing made sense for everybody um any worries we
Had about it not working with him uh Brunson OG in the same lineup that’s off the window because everyone were in this Spa got in their spaces and defensively it just was the best uh lineup uh Josh Hart looked good like this is what we
Want I think this is the guy we want to see more consistently I mean we’re getting back to April or right around the corner from April and it’s in everybody’s head that final moment in Miami so I think that’s where the worries come when it comes to Josh Hart
And if Josh Hart is doing this which he’s been I’m going to give him his flowers for the last two weeks when we were injured and we were down and out for the mo most part in those two weeks Hart has been this version he’s been aggressive he hasn’t been turning down
Shots attacking the paint when everybody else is just selling for threes this is what we want to see Mr Hart Mr you know Mr uh roommates podcast like this is what we want to see from you CU we all know that you can do it you have this
Ability to get the triple doubles like this and if it’s not a triple double on a nightly basis which I know it’s not going to happen for the most part you’re going to get your shot because we want to see you get that shot you’re one of
The strongest guys if not the strongest guy on this uh team that’s not named Julius Randall and you should be able to bully guys in the paint and get those kind of buckets around the rim like he did tonight and I think that’s just the big frustration with a lot of folks
Myself included because we know that this guy can be here on a consistent bases maybe not triple doubles but we know that we can get this version of Josh Hart and if we do man when we’re fully healthy and we have Josh Hart doing this kind of stuff adding this
Element to this team come on man so big shot for him and like you said four triple doubles all in his career all in the Nicks uniform come on man come on man like let’s let’s be real let’s go after starting off the season Rocky complaining about you know lack of
Minutes not getting in offensive Rhythm not having too many minutes by the way he said once OG comes back my minute will reduce from not having to play 40 plus minutes per night and that’s true it did reduce he did not play 40 minutes tonight he only played 39 so there you
Go Josh har you got 39 minutes tonight Tom Tibido gave you a favor um what’s funny enough is that tib said uh in the presser that Josh Hart was complaining that tibs took him out too early so he couldn’t get couldn’t get that 20th rebound to get a 202010 which you know
That would been that would been sick man that would been sick for Josh the last 10 games for Josh Harts okay he’s been averaging 43 minutes this doesn’t include tonight he’s been averaging 43 minutes he’s averaging 16 points shooting 40 5% from the field shooting 37% from downtown all right uh
Free throws got to take a step up Josh all right you’re shooting 61% we can’t be having that on three attempts per game we can’t be having that but he’s averaging 12 rebounds and six assists Josh har has been putting in that work man with everybody being down and you
Know even when you listen to that roommate’s podcast and how Brunson and him and Dante all talking how Josh har likes to just complain just to you know let it off the chat sometimes people just vent man not being necessarily like yes is it bothering them but yeah sure
Maybe a little bit but he’ll go out there and still do the his job man anything that tibs or his teammates ask of him he goes out there and he does that and you gotta give you got to tip your cat man because for a guy who was
Struggling to begin the season plus by the way playing on an injured knee that he’s managing on this season let’s keep that in mind he’s managing a sore knee right and still playing 40 plus minutes tonight 39 tonight Josh Hart has definitely made his money worth just by
The amount of production we’ve been given with he’s been giving since this all the injuries for this team

OG's that little Pat Ewing.😃
OG reminds me of young Kawhi right before he made the jump to All-Star
that Statue of Liberty dunk was an ode to NYC
Very pleased and excited to have OG back! Josh Hart also had a very impactful night with his triple double.
6’4 Josh hart with 19 rebounds 🫡
