forcing giannis to take middies is wild. its crazy because giannis looks so much taller that he should just have easy bunnies but og is making it so damn tough for him to move anywhere

OG is a menace, defense is unreal
Not-Josh-Hart
OG’s defense is so good that it helps me cope with watching IQ and RJ break out as young stars.
STATnMELO650
His wingspan is insane, just inhales the ball on some of these plays
rich-roma
long arms of the law
IAmKevinDurantAMA
i thought this post was gonna be BS, but that actually is great defense
thissiteisbroken
A while back someone asked who could guard Giannis 1 on 1 and I said OG could and got downvoted to hell for it lol
Glad he’s getting the recognition for it now/
A_SandlerthaGOAT
I think Robinson isn’t getting credit here as well and he also hurt his hamstring and ankle in this game as well. He was 9-11 fgs at one point
Not taking away from OG he’s always been great defending him but I think they really focused in on Giannis after the half with OG and Robinson cause the rest of the bucks weren’t shooting for shit

The thing I like most about watching him play defense is how little he seems to move, he’s just so calm and in control. It’s insane
everything_raptors
OG is one of maybe 3-5 guys who can guard 1 through 5 and legit make it hard on them or straight up lock them up.
The only one he could never slow down is Luka but who can lol
Hostile_Pierogi
Need 1 stop with your life on the line? I want Anunoby.
jjkiller26
He has plenty of experience defending him, I assume that helps
juantravis
I knew OG was good but I didn’t know he was THAT good. Only other player I’ve seen bother Giannis like that is wemby
Edit: referring to guys defending Giannis this year

OG doesn’t even just rely on his physical traits as a defender, OG does his homework and has his own defensive reports on who he will be guarding against.

i still have no idea how a barnes, gtj, og, siakam, poeltl lineup could be so mid.
DontShootToMiss
What an absolute menace. He’s the only perimeter defender in the league that belongs in conversations with Gobert/AD/Giannis defensively.
confuddly
Notice how OG sometimes chooses to stand his ground, and other times chooses to funnel his guy into Mrob/IHart. It’s small things like that separate regular long athletic dudes from actually good defenders
ObiOneKenobae
It’s nutty the things OG can do
mylanguage
Human eraser – the Mitch Robinson and OG mins with Deuce and Hart running around is a dangerous defensive group

This is porn. Should put an NSFW tag
jaydogggg
I hope next year he finally can earn DPOY. His ability to force best players to pass or take below average shots is insane. He can guard anyone except Joker Embiid and AD. I wanted to see him lock up wemby in Toronto but he was of course traded before that game happened

Forget what you heard knicks need to resign annunoby

Naija no dey carry last 🇳🇬

Kinda crazy that he didn’t play in that 2019 run. The 2020 raptors won like 50 games after losing kawhi, def feel like he could’ve gotten at least another ring if he stayed
owensoundgamedev
I miss him 🙁
nicksnotsane
Pay that man his money.
LamarMVPJackson
Giannis was doing so well in the 1st half then got locked up
pretzeldoggo
That’s the type of defense that wins championships.
If he’s healthy in the playoffs- I think they can go ECF without Randle.
OstrichDelicious587
Anyone who thinks this Knicks team w a healthy Randle couldn’t have made an ecf run is delusional. And now anyone who thinks they’re a first round exit w this crew rn even without ju is in for a rude awakening.
The_Notorious_Donut
I love RJ but fuck this trade was one of the best in Knicks history
MusclyArmPaperboy
It’s so haaaard to say goodbyeee to yesterdaaaaay
Kid_Crayola
I don’t wanna deal with all that
firstbreathOOC
He looks like he moves slow but every move is calculated
Yellowperil123
I have never seen anyone play better defence vs Giannis. It’s freaky
allblackST
As a Raptors fan, as sad as I am that OG is gone, it’s nice to see him get the recognition he deserves on the Knicks.
zTurboSnailz
What a beast on the defensive end.
Fladap28
Some of the most efficient defense I’ve seen. Every movement is purposeful
kiciner
damn, we had an amazing team back in 2019
Kawhi is an idiot
DotCompetitive3326
I’m so happy he is finally getting the recognition. He has been doing this for years
Notthesenator
He’s the best defender in the league it’s not even close
