OGN and Nobi had his best game of the season. And in the process, the Nix have made NBA history. Since the All-Star break, the Nix have been making a statement.

1:02And now, let's get started. OGN and Nobi does it again. What dominance? The nuggets were essentially fully healthy. They just got back Aaron Gordon. They had motivation to beat the Nix. It didn't matter. The Nix ruined Aaron Gordon's return. They did it with elite playmaking. Absolute lockdown defense. And with the outstanding performance, the amazing play of OGN and Nobi. I don't know what it is about the Denver Nuggets. But it just brings out the best in him. The Nix win. They blow out, destroy, dominate the Denver Nuggets. One of the best teams in the West, 142 to 103. And I mean, some of the highlights are with Mitchell Robinson,

2:03who was more involved in the offense last night than probably any game of the season. And then OG Duncan Nobi. Duncan all over the place. I mean, he had highlight after highlight after highlight. And they couldn't do anything to stop him. And shout out the channel sponsor, FanDuel. America's number one sportsbook for giving us this updated information and these latest odds on who was supposed to win the game last night between the Nix and the Nuggets. And as you can see there by the money line, the Nix were the favorites to win this game. They were at minus 120 while the Nuggets were at plus 102. FanDuel, they continue to have an amazing record because again, they call this one correctly. The Nix not only beat the Denver Nuggets, they destroy them. Now I mentioned that the Nix made NBA history. They did.

3:04This was their biggest win ever against the Denver Nuggets. But also they made NBA history in a different way. With the Nix beat down of the Denver Nuggets by 39 points. It's tied for the largest home defeat in franchise history, including the playoffs for them. Now obviously, there were a number of reasons why this happened. But without a doubt, it was because of the man smiling on the screen right here in OGN and OB. He absolutely torched the Nuggets. And if nobody else is going to say it, let me be the one to say it. In the past, the Denver Nuggets would destroy the Nix. But since Jalen Brunson arrived, the Jalen Brunson era, the Nuggets, they haven't been able to do anything against the Nix. And honestly, if you don't believe me, just take a look at the numbers.

4:05They speak for themselves. 2015 to 2022, the Nix record against the Denver Nuggets. One to 14, 2022 to 2026, the Nix record against the Denver Nuggets. Seven to one. And this highlights one thing. The Nix, they are winning. And this season, they're winning better than they ever have before. Once again, let's go to the numbers because they absolutely show this. When percentage by year, the last five seasons for New York, 2021, 2022, 0.451, 2022, 2023, 0.573, 2023, 2024, 0.61, 2024, 2025, 0.622, 2025, 2026, 0.635,

5:07before we get the OG Aninobi, and his amazing performance. There are a few things about last night's game that I need to highlight. And that's going to start with Carl Anthony Towns. I said this after the game. Carl Anthony Towns' transformation defensively has been one of the main reasons for the Nix turnaround since all star break. He took the most criticism and he put his head down, got to work. If we are going to talk about his failures, we need to be every bit as loud on his success and talk about last night where the Nix have their biggest win ever in Denver. 142 to 103. Carl Anthony Towns had 17 points, 7 of 12 from the field, 13 rebounds, plus 19 in 27 minutes. Carl Anthony Towns for me since all star break

6:08has been one of the best players on the floor for New York. Even his rebounding, his offensive rebounding, when he's out there, it's become so elite. And when he gets the ball now, he has such a high basketball IQ. He passes the ball up court whoever's leaking out for New York. Josh Hart, MacKale Bridges, Jalen Brunson, whoever it is, they get the ball and they have a clean look at the basket. Why? Because of Carl Anthony Towns. What else is Towns doing? He's switching better. He's communicating more out there. You guys can just listen to the sounds of the game. Carl Anthony Towns, he's talking more. He's communicating more. He's becoming a leader out there defensively for this team. And that makes all the difference when he's locked in defensively and the Nix can hear him and he's switching and he's trying to get the rebounds and he's helping on defense.

7:08This Carl Anthony Towns, this town's right here. If he continues to play this way and maybe gets his attempts up even more every game, gets those points from 17 to 20 to 25. This Nix team will be absolutely unstoppable once we get to the postseason. And I want to make this clear. New York is doing all of this right now and we're not playing even our best level of basketball yet. We're still not fully healthy yet. We're still missing Doos McBride. What happens when we put it all together and we're fully healthy? It sounds like New York is going to be one of the most dangerous teams come the postseason. Something else I want to highlight from last night's game. It's the play of the captain. Jalen Brunson. First of all, if you're not following me on the app X, I don't know what you're doing. You have to get in there. Please go ahead and follow me right now.

8:10If you're not doing so already, I post so many things during the game while it's happening. And obviously after the game, you'll find a couple of other tweets from me about what I'm seeing and what I'm observing. Something like this Jalen Brunson can score 50 whenever he wants. But these last few games of 15 plus assists has unlocked a dangerous new element to his game. Brunson is his absolute best when he's making everyone around him better. Now we all know Jalen Brunson. The captain, he can score whenever he wants to. If he wants to take over the first quarter, he can do that. He wants to be captain clutch in the final quarter. He can do that. But he's at his best, when he's table setting for the entire team, playmaking and getting everyone involved, making everyone better. We're going to talk about OG Annanobi, the amount of threes he got up.

9:11How many times he was open? Jalen Brunson was one main reason for that. What about Mitchell Robinson? Having one of his best offensive games of the season for New York? How many times he was found inside? Who was doing that? Who started that? Who set him up? Jalen Brunson. He's starting to understand the assignment and now everything is becoming even easier for New York and Jalen Brunson is becoming even more deadly. Don't even think about the game he has, which is why he is an all star in this league. Let's talk about what that does against the defense when he penetrates and goes inside. Is he going to shoot the ball or make an elite pass to a wide open shooter or somebody cutting to the basket or maybe a lob pass to Mitchell Robinson? The defense before all they had to worry about

10:12was Jalen Brunson, that magical footwork, getting inside and doing whatever he wanted. Now, not only can he still do that, but now he has options and the defense, they have to worry about those options basketball and just got a lot easier for this next team courtesy of the captain, Jalen Brunson. You know, I heard so much criticism about Brunson dribbling the air out of the ball, not moving the ball, not passing the ball, not helping this team get better. He's not the player that we need on a championship team. Wow, silence. Now that is how you handle business. You don't complain, you don't run to the media, you don't fry, you put your head down and you handle business. Are all stars, correlates in the towns and Jalen Brunson?

11:13They heard all the criticism. You can't play defense. You can't evolve your game. You can't pass. Looks like they did all of that and nobody can say anything. And now that brings me of the man of the hour, the man of the night, the offensive player of the game, MVP of the game, OGN and Nobi. What a performance. What a performance, OGN and Nobi, 34 points, 11 of 17 from the field, 6 of 11 from 3, 6 of 6 from the free throw line, 7 rebounds, 3 of those offensive rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 1 block, plus 17 and 32 minutes. This man is insane. 4 steals, 5 assists, 34 points,

12:1510 missed from the free throw line, shooting at that rate, phenomenal, phenomenal performance from OGN and Nobi. He was looking like a superstar out there for New York. One year after scoring a career high, 40 points against the same Denver Nuggets team, and Nobi spun the block and put up 34 points. It was this type of performance that shows OGN and Nobi isn't just a master of chaos defensively, but a force offensively when things are aligned. He can be direct, he can be crafty, and he can shoot. But if you guys remember last year, after that game against the Nuggets, he cooled off and OG really didn't have that same performance for the rest of the season. However, this season, what he did against the Nuggets, he's doing this against multiple teams

13:16since the All-Star break. You could even say before the All-Star break, before that toenail evulsion. Shout out to James L Edwards of the Athletic for giving us this following information. According to him, what Nobi did against the Nuggets is a souped-up version of what he's been doing over the last two weeks, against the Houston Rockets on February 21st. Nuggets had 20 points on 50% shooting, and four steals. Nuggets missed only two shots, and had 24 points, and two steals against the butts on February 27th. On Tuesday against Toronto, his former team, he missed just one shot in route to a 15-point game. And you guys already know, after the game, Mike Brown, he could not stop raving about OG N and Obi.

14:16He said the following about him. Once again, shout out to James L Edwards of the Athletic for giving us this following information. According to Mike Brown, he said the following about OG N and Obi. He's playing powerful. He's making quick decisions and touching the paint. He's knocking down his shot and then defensively, he's just on another level. If he keeps that up, that's defensive player of the year type stuff. For sure, first team all defense. He's guarding point guards, and then I don't know how many times he was on Joker, who won MVP. He's guarding him, and then he's guarding everyone in between. He's been phenomenal and fun to watch because he can do a lot. I don't care what you say to me. OG N and Obi should have been an all star this year for a New York. If New York had three all stars,

15:16oh well, that's the way it should have worked out. Because N and Obi, the way he's been playing all year, especially over these last two weeks, it's been all star level. Last night, he was creeping on to superstar level. We talk about Jalen Brunson being the number one option. Carl Anthony Towns being the number two option. That's because we have two stars on this team. However, after last night, after even this season, OG N and Obi deserves to be in that conversation. He is legitimately our third star on this team. If Jalen Brunson doesn't have it going, or he's just playmaking, if Carl Anthony Towns doesn't have it going, or he's just rebounding, and we need another star to step up and showcase what he can do. OG N and Obi is becoming that player. He can do it outside. He can do it inside. He has the patience to wait for the contact,

16:17go up, score the basketball, and then he's going to the free throw line. His handle, it's getting better. He still needs to work on it, but it's getting better. One of the only things he needs to add to his game because right now, if he can do it, he might be one of the most unstoppable players in the league. If he can give himself that mid-range, that mid-range pull-up, drive inside the paint, stop on a dime, pull-up and score. If he can become that type of player, if he can add that element to his game, he'll be unstoppable. Who's guarding that? What are you going to do? He can shoot the outside shot. He's aggressive. He's strong. He's powerful. He can drive inside. Take the contact and still finish. And if he can add that mid-range, pull-up, off the dribble, and he can hit that at an efficient clip, we're talking about a next team that may be unstoppable

17:20come the postseason. OGN and Nobi just had his best game of the season. And if he continues to play this way, the New York Knicks, they're absolutely going to the NBA Finals. And potentially, they could win it all. Don't tell me to calm down. Don't tell me not to be hype. New York just beat the Denver Nuggets. One of the best teams in the West. And the Knicks just destroyed them. Absolutely obliterated them. Off the face of the floor. And even when we put our bench in, our bench, our depth, they were destroying him. Boom Dotty, a career high 11 points in eight minutes. Tyler Colock, eight assists in eight minutes. Every single player, when they were in the game, was doing something for New York.

18:20You know what that means? This team is locked in. They have bought in. They believe they can go to the NBA Finals. And when you have that belief, and you're playing this way, you can do anything. Anything is possible. And this season, New York getting to the NBA Finals. That is absolutely on the table. But what about you guys? What do you think about the Knicks? Absolutely destroying the Denver Nuggets. 142 to 103. Let me know how you feel about that.
