How OG Anunoby can help the Knicks make a serious run

How OG Anunoby can help the Knicks make a serious run

Let’s talk all things Nicks going into their matchup tonight against the Bulls at the Garden with Anthony Isaacs of Nicks Nation Anthony uh Happy New Year my man and nicks Nation stand up because we about to get this thing going uh let’s talk about OG and noobi uh that

Trade is still relatively fresh he made his Nicks debut on Monday 17-6 and 35 minutes on the court so what are you expecting from him his second timeout more of the same he looked absolutely amazing in his first time out and look we put him on Anthony Edwards

And he was you know doing what he does best and and that’s defense we got him here to defend the opponent’s best player and he can hit the corner three which he did he’s 44% three-point shooter from the corners which is very important because the Knicks love love

To park RJ in the corners and they love to park uh Dante de venzo in the corners so more of the same with OJ I’m really impressed with what I saw and that was with no practice as well so I’m excited to see what he can bring tonight versus

The B practice we talking about practice my man don’t need no practice I want to get your thoughts on this man because I saw Nick Nations wasn’t really feeling what Gilbert Arena said about who the Knicks need to bring in a lot of people around the league don’t think OG is the

Piece to make the Nicks instant contenders in the East we’ve got five weeks between now and the February 8th trade deadline if you’re Leon Rose are you done making moves I’m not done making moves I’m I’m trying to scour the market I’m trying to see what’s out there but at the same

Time I’m trying to be you know cautious as well we’ve traded RJ we’ve traded quickly those were two you know valuable assets we still have all of our first picks in the bag and I’m not done yet so whether that’s another move come February or whether that’s a move in the

Summertime I think you know the Knicks can be patient a little bit now and give you know maybe give Quinton Grimes an opportunity to come off the bench we saw him play well versus the Minnesota Timberwolves and maybe that’ll give him you know a confidence booster so you

Know I’m not done making moves because I do think anobi was the move before the move because I do think a big move is coming but if I’m the Knicks you can afford to be a little bit patient uh and just see what this group can bring you

All right you can be patient but these dudes are 18 and 15 right now and Jaylen Brunson recently said we need to stack wins we’re talking about a team that beat the bucks on Christmas then they lost three straight before being the best team in the west Monday and that’s

The Minnesota Timberwolves why hasn’t this team been able to consistently stack wins it’s mainly been their defense they’ve ever since mitel Robinson went down their defensive you know has taken a massive step back and you know which is why we acquired an ogan anobi um we

Treaded away in RJ Barrett who you know was you know average defensively and a man you quickly but you know it’s defense you know we got bullied by the magic we lost to the Thunder everything was doom and GL and that’s what triggered them to make the OG and no

Trade and it was also Al the terrible schedule that the NBA gave us in the month of December like we were on the road pretty much the entire month I think the Knicks have the most home games remaining in the NBA with 28 so they can get fat with some wins here in

Madison Square Garden and I I do expect them to and I also think like new new year new new fresh looking Nicks I think you know the Vibes are going to be there in Madison Square Garden and I think we’re going to see some victories coming

Up you hit him with the new year new Knicks you’re going to see all the Knicks in the planet Fitness gym getting that workout in just like everybody else like I’m going work out more well I’m going to get more wins this year all right you talking about 28 home games

Left at the Garden they got the Bulls coming into town tonight it’s a winnable game obviously so if your tibs what are you telling your squad how do you walk out of the Garden tonight with the w just get a win do whatever it takes take take care of home court the New

York Knicks are nine and4 at home this season they’ve been winning in manester sare Garden for the most part and like I said you know they have the most home games remaining in the NBA the Bulls are coming off a back to back they’re also without Zack cavine tonight so I do

Think it should be an easy win tonight for the New York Knicks but I don’t want to jinx it but if you’re thbes just tell them to lock down defensively hit your open looks and share the rock we saw Jaylen Brunton with a career-high 14 assists last game and I do think that’s

Going to carry over into the new year but I’m like I like what I saw over minnes overa Tim BRS and it hopefully it carries over tonight versus Chicago Bulls in Madison squ Garden real quick the over under is set at 218 points you taking the over or the

Under uh I’m taking the over because I like the New York Knicks I like the New York knck scoring and the Bulls I don’t know but not so much not so much hey tell the people they can find you my man hey you can find us on YouTube youtube.com nickation and also on

Twitter or X or whatever you want to call it Twitter um at Nick nation and yeah that’s where you can find me thank you for not putting an underscore in the profile B names we appreciate you thanks my man no problem
