Story number one is the New York Knicks did what they needed to do.

Right.

It wasn't easy.

It may not have been fun.

It certainly wasn't like the last four postseason games they played.

But a result is the result.

The New York Knicks are up to O.

That is certainly story number one.

But the other story that we are going to follow throughout this day and and it has major implications, is the status of O.G. Ananobe. Do you have a gut feeling when you saw O.G. pull up? Yes. Finish the play. I actually went for a dunk after he pulled up a little bit lame. Then he takes himself out. Any kind of gut feeling at first glance on this? My gut when I first saw it was he's cramping, that he has hydration issues and that he got a cramp, but it didn't seize up on him. Remember what happened to Luca? We saw Luca Donchitz when he pulled his hamstring, and now he's been out for a month. I mean, probably even, who knows how long if he's even coming back.

Well, he's not coming back. He's not coming back.

He's not coming back. As I'm going to get this done in a couple days. Right, exactly. So I feel like when you see somebody truly tear their hamstring, severe pulled, whatever they're going to call it, grade three strain, you see it. Yeah. You just can't run on it any longer. The fact that OG strained or pulled or cramped or whatever it's going to be diagnosed as

and he continued to play tells me that it's not that bad.

However, this is a critical piece to what the Knicks are doing.

In fact, he's probably been one of the most, it's not the most important player than Jalen Brunson on this team because of how great he has been defensively, but also how clutch he's been corner threes and making open shots for this Knicks team. It's what's led to a bunch of these blowouts. So if you have to play it safe, I would play it safe. Oh, no doubt. I think he's going to be okay, even if he does miss a game.

Yeah, so what I'm comparing this to, and this is the comparison that scares the crap

out of any Nick fan, is what happened two years ago in the exact same situation.

The Knicks were up by nine points with three and a half minutes to go of game two of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Indiana Pacers.

And Oji on and O.B. pulled his hamstring.

And I was watching that moment, that sequence over and over again because O.G also didn't take himself out of the game.

Play actually continued for like another 45 seconds, but he didn't do anything. There was a clear

difference between OG's response in the Indiana game and the one from last night. Right. He stood

still in against Indiana. He stood still. There were actually a couple of different possessions in
