  1. so happy OG had a great first game and helped his team get the win. Hoping his defense gets more recognition on a bigger stage.

  2. C_moneySmith

    The officiating in that game was some of the most even-yet-horrible officiating I’ve ever seen.

  3. Morezingis

    The real tragedy is Mike Conley losing his 3pt streak.

  4. Therealrickyrubio

    If Wolves don’t sort these turnovers out, we’re not going to be anything close to a real contender.

  5. You’re an unserious person if you think the Knicks lost the trade.

    God bless you, Masai. You saved our season and brightened our future.

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

    Today 106, OG defence impact already

  7. FURIOUS JULIUS RANDLE SHOWS ‘DUBIOUS HANDLES’ IS SPURIOUS SLANDER IN GARDEN BANGER

  8. Incredible debut from OG, really showing the potential this team has with the improved spacing and defense. Julius really shining and picking up our offense when Brunson struggled and hitting massive clutch shots. This is a great win against a great team. Really excited to see the team after more chemisty and better rotations

  9. At6-8FromSyracuse

    Immanuel Quickley did a lot of great things for us but making it possible for us to replace RJ Barrett with OG Anunoby will be what I appreciate him for the most

  10. Ophelia_Of_The_Abyss

    Best teams of all time:

    96 Bulls

    86 Celtics

    01 Lakers

    17 Warriors

    24 Knicks

  11. TheRealBrownPudding

    I don’t watch Randle a lot, but I was genuinely smiling watching him this game. When he plays hard and stays locked in, he’s so effective.

  12. YanniSwagger

    Randle is unstoppable rn. OG looked GOOD. Bench looked BAD. Our starting 5 is very scary now. Tape

  13. fat_lever123

    Winning a terrible Brunson shooting game to kick off the new era is a great sign.

  14. Baby_Yod4

    I was expecting an Anthony Edwards late game take over but instead we got All NBA Julius Randle. Those last 3 buckets in crunch time were clutch asf

  15. smellsniceinherr

    OG was amazing. I’m still heartbroken, but I’ve never seen defense like that before in a Knicks uniform

  16. Slashered

    as a boomer this may legitimately be the first time i’ve felt a current knicks team to have the same feeling as the 90s teams. a focus on toughness, physicality, and defense (mitch/og/hart/ihart/grimes) from coach down, a guard and our big man as the stars of the team who both clutch huge games and at times look like they forget how to play basketball (randle/pat/starks/brunson). this team can get to the ECF with or without another big trade for a star shooting guard if they can play their game. maximum lolknicks hopium induced

  17. OG is a great floor spacer, doesn’t require the ball in his hands to be effective and brings dpoy potential perimeter man to man defense.

    One thing Knicks fans are gonna love is this guy is clutch asf, he always shows up in the playoffs and will take pressure shots without hesitation. He has ice in his veins.
