• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 3 points · 11 h ago
  • XJ: The host thinks three players need to be on the Knicks long term: Karl-Anthony Towns, Brunson and OG Anunoby. He does not include Mikal Bridges. at 10:04
  • XJ: The lineup of Kolek, Miles McBride, Bridges, OG and Towns was 'humming' in this game. at 19:05
  • XJ: The biggest issue was the fourth quarter, when Franz Wagner got to the rim at will. The host liked the Knicks' fourth-quarter offensive process: Towns-Brunson actions with OG Anunoby involved, rather than just 'Jalen Brunson ball'. They simply missed open shots. at 31:26

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 5 points · 47 h ago
  • Gavin Schall: A five-shooter lineup played two to three minutes in the fourth quarter: Brunson, McBride, Shamet, Anunoby and Towns. The host says this unit played 11 possessions last regular season and 5 in the postseason. at 9:20
  • Gavin Schall: Late in the game Anunoby guarded Paul George and Hart guarded Tatum, who hit about three big shots over Hart. The host thinks Anunoby could have contested those, and that Brown wanted a taller defender on George off the ball. In his view Tatum was the bigger threat. at 10:22
  • Gavin Schall: The host wonders whether putting Hart on Tatum was Brown experimenting in the regular season: leaving Hart on Tatum so Anunoby could roam and take away Paul George. at 30:05
  • Gavin Schall: The host wants Brown to use shooting-heavy lineups as often as possible and calls the Brunson, McBride, Shamet, Anunoby, Towns unit unguardable if Brown leans into it. at 12:27
  • Gavin Schall: The host says Anunoby has found a great balance between playing within the offense and attacking, and that this game is what he wants from Anunoby going forward. at 12:50

  “This Is More Than A Championship Hangover For The New York Knicks” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 4 points · Oct 23
  • Karl-Anthony Towns got into foul trouble, so the Knicks played OG Anunoby at the five. at 6:54
  • Wallace says Towns's reachy, ticky-tack fouls put the Knicks at a disadvantage by forcing a lineup with OG Anunoby at the five, which he says they don't really want to run too much. at 7:08
  • OG Anunoby had 10 rebounds and eight assists. Sacci says his shooting hasn't been lighting it up so far. at 7:27
  • In this game Brown tried several center options: Towns (in foul trouble), early Drummond, James Wiseman, and OG Anunoby at the five for extended stretches in the second half. at 8:02

  “KNICKS POSTCAST: The CHAMPS Fall to 0-2 vs. Celtics REACTION” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Knicks · 2 points · Oct 23
  • Gavin Schall: In game one against the 76ers, the host thinks the second units mostly had Drummond and not OG or Karl-Anthony Towns, with someone possibly playing alongside Hart. He says the bench units need OG or Towns with them, and ideally a rim runner. at 29:13
  • Gavin Schall: The host's opinion: if Anunoby wants to be an All-Star or All-NBA player, he needs to bring it every night in the regular season. The host thinks he will do more. at 31:24

  • Moore (inferred) expects Brunson to get extended with all the money he wants. He says other major contributors won't get the same treatment, naming Towns ('cat') and Hart, and says OG Anunoby is up for an extension next year. at 28:48
  • Gavin Schall: Shaw (inferred) says injuries are his biggest concern. He notes that Anunoby ('OG') and Towns ('Kat') have histories of being hurt and that the Knicks were very healthy in each of the last two runs. at 32:37

  Host opinion: the core is Brunson, Towns and OG Anunoby. Extending Brunson does not close the window. Trying to keep Hart at $20 million is what closes it.
