NY Knicks News After Celtics Win: OG Anunoby Injury Update

The New York Knicks beat the Boston Celtics 105-95 to get their second win in the Mike Brown era. They dominate the second quarter. They show off the type of team they can be, but there are still some areas of improvement I want to see and I know it’s going to take some time. We’ll recap this game. We’ll talk about the OG Anobi injury as well. But if you’re excited to be 2 and 0 in the Mike Brown era with a chance to still get to 82 and 0, hit that thumbs up icon right now. This is Nicks now by chat sports. I am your host Marshall Green and it was a fun one. Friday night Nicks, they deliver a W. Overall broad look of the stats. The New York Knicks dominate on the glass 53-37 against the Celtics. I thought that played a pivotal role in this ball game. The New York Knicks also had 21 offensive rebounds to just eight offensive rebounds for Boston. You also had uh you you you dominated them in the fast break. What was Let’s start with this. It’s a completely different looking team. They’re playing a different brand of basketball. 45 threes attempted for the New York Knicks. You actually hoist more threes than the Boston Celtics, who shot the most threes in the NBA all of last season, but you did that while maintaining a physicality aspect as well. You get to the line 25 times. You beat them up on the boards and and you find a way to win. You lose the first quarter 30-22, but you win the second quarter 42-4. Before I talk about this game anymore, I want to talk about OG and Anobi. He left the game in that fourth quarter with what appeared to be a non-cont injury. Um, he was limping as if it was a muscle in his quad or thigh. Uh, maybe it’s a cramp. Maybe he strained his quad. I don’t know. But anytime OG and an Obi gets hurt, you hold to your breath, he always will be an X factor for this team. And um anytime I see him hurt, I get a little bit scared. Hopefully he’s all right. If if and when we do get an update on Anobi, we’ll get you guys a video as soon as possible. So make sure you are subscribed to the channel and have those notifications turned on. At the time of recording this video, uh, we have not heard anything on the OG Anobi front. What a game for Jaylen Brunson. Really a game of a couple of different tales. He started off the game uh, pretty inefficient. I think he was one of five, maybe even one of six at one point, but in that second half, he kind of heated up and just took over the ball game, finishing with 31 points, five assists, and just one turnover. And and that’s big because the Knicks were a team that was turning the ball over at an extremely high rate. 15 turnovers, but only one out of the hands of Jaylen Brunson. He brought you home down the stretch. Started to find the range from downtown. I thought he competed on defense as well. Um a really good game from Jaylen Brunson and Carl Anthony Towns. I know the percentages from the field aren’t great. six of 16 essentially shot two of 10 from inside the ark. But it was his offense in that first quarter and into that second quarter that really gave this Knicks team life and kept him afloat uh before they were able to really land that knockout punch. Six threes for him tonight. I wouldn’t even mind if that number goes up a little bit. I think he’s one of the best shooters in the NBA. The best big man shooter in the NBA. showed some physicality with 13 boards as well. Five turnovers though that cannot happen. Too sloppy with the basketball. Still early knocking the preseason rust off, but kind of just a similar tune that’s being sung about Cat. Dumb fouls turned the ball over, but overall 26 and 13 from the big man. We’ll take it. Josh Hart returned to action and made his 2025 season debut and it was the most Josh Hart game of all time. Two points, 14 rebounds. He gave you six on the offensive end coming off the bench, but he goes one of eight from the field and 0 of three from downtown. I thought that the finger played a major part in his accuracy as a shooter. Um I wonder if it’s just one of those things you just bite the bullet, miss four months, and come back for the stretch run of the playoffs. But 14 rebounds for Hart in 18 minutes. He was balls to the wall and he emptied the clip and he gave you what you thought you can get out of a bench player in Hart.

Limited time offer. Alrighty. Miles McBride ended up getting the start tonight for the New York Knicks. Mitchell Robinson did not play and we got to see that lineup that we wanted to see for a long time. The Knicks ultimately lose the first quarter 30 to22. I don’t know if that accurately paints the picture of how that lineup was. McBride made a big three in the fourth quarter. I thought he played some great defense on the guards for Boston. I thought he gave Simon some trouble. I thought he also gave Derek White some trouble as well. Liked what I saw from Deuce. a little inefficient from the field and from three, but uh I’m not too worried about that. I know Deuce is a good shooter and he showed that he could hit a big shot even when the shot wasn’t falling. And I think the sign of a good player is being able to impact the game when the shots not falling. Find a way to make an impact. Deuce McBride did that. Four assists and zero turnovers. Male Bridges DraftKings here on all that high. An efficient game. 50% from the deck, 50% from downtown. I thought he made a couple of nice plays in transition. I thought he also did a good job defending as well. Um the volume for him and OG and Obi were low, but I thought they were effective in the way that uh that they played this game. Jordan Clarkson, that man loves a pullup transition three. He had two of them in the first half. He was running and gunning. Um you got to see a little bit of him. The minutes were pretty evenly distributed off the bench. Jordan Clarkson had 15. Shamut 13. Yabacelli 13, Kick 13, Josh Hart 18, 34 for Brunson, 33 for Towns, 36 for Bridges, 32 for McBride, 29 for OG and an Obi. I thought Tyler Kuck played a pretty good game. Uh I think he two of those turnovers weren’t really his fault, but he got the Knicks going in that second quarter when they ultimately dominated 42-4. He had two drives, one where he kicked it to the left corner, both going to the left corner. One resulted in an OG and an OB3. Another resulted in a male Bridges three. And that kind of opened up the floodgates for the absolute domination the Knicks put on the Celtics in that second quarter. We also saw a stop and pop transition three from Landry Shamut. He’s going to be able to get those type of looks. If he can contribute on defense, you know, he gives the effort. Sometimes he’s just not lengthy enough and he’s not able to disrupt shots due to his smaller stature, but he competes. He’s got a high IQ and if he makes shots, he’s going to be a part of the rotation. He didn’t really get much from Gershon Yabiselli. He did have three points, five rebounds. I thought some effort plays from him kind of sparked the Garden crowd when they were not on their feet in that second quarter. a couple of rebounds. Uh, five of those and I think a couple were offensive as well. He had three offensive rebounds. Um, I liked what I saw from him. Areas of improvement. Too many turnovers for the Knicks. 23 assists to 15 turnovers. Um, got to take care of the ball. You had one turnover. Think about this. One turnover from Brunson and McBride combined. Um, I don’t even think Bridges Bridges had two. OG had one. Bridges had two. Towns had five. Kok had three. Shamid had two. 15 turnovers just too many. You shot a lot of threes. You hit them at a pretty good percent of 37%. You weren’t good from two at all. Some quick mental math on the fly. I think you were 16 of 41 from two. I don’t know what percent that is. Uh but not good. Not good. So, you got to be better from inside the arc. Um not really sure if it was the shot quality, the defense. They were just missing some easy shots as well. But you were really good from the free throw line. Made up for it there. 22 of 25. You converted an 88% quick from the line while also shooting almost 38% on 45 threes. You’re going to win a lot of games in this league. I thought the Knicks did a really good job on Jaylen Brown. He is the snake, head of the snake for that offensive attack. Seven turnovers. Pressure the ball when he’s got it. Force him left. He will throw the balls to the scores table. Uh did it a couple of times in this one. Derek White unable to find the range. Thought the Knicks made it tough on him. He was flopping like a flip fish out of water consistently in that ball game. Uh I thought the Knicks overall played really good defense outside of their defensive performance against Sam Hower. Six of 10 was Hower from three. I get it. You take him away, you’re 10 of 34 as a team. That’s essentially 30% for the other Boston Celtics. So, uh, got to extend the defense to Hower. Saw that in game one against Sam Merrill. Gave him a couple of easy looks. No need to help off of those shooters. We’ve been talking that for a while. You also need to help help off when you’re one pass away in a situation like that. But overall, outside of one guy lighting it up, the Boston Celtics were 10 of uh, no, nine of 34 um, from three. So, pretty good stuff on that front for the Knicks. Overall a good game and and and your win is fueled by your second quarter. Need to be a little bit better in the third and fourth. Game got tight. You were able to find a way and win this ball game though. Every win. It feels good. Um Ian Begley now reporting OG and Obi would have been able to go back in the game if needed per Mike Brown. I don’t believe you because you said the same thing about Josh Hart in the first preseason game and then he had to miss game one of the season. You also said that you’re load managing Mitchell Robinson even though he played in game one, two, and three of the preseason. I won’t believe anything the Knicks ever say about injuries. I hope they’re right. Fingers crossed. When we do get an OJ update though, we’ll get you a video.
