New York didn’t host an NBA game yesterday, but the Knicks kept leaking soundbites.

No basketball in New York yesterday. No basketball in New York today.

The Knicks didn’t play, and while the Nets did, Brooklyn doesn’t count.

Here’s what we have missed from Coach Thibs, a few Knickerbockers, and other gentlemen in the past few hours.

Tom Thibodeau

On OG Anunoby’s form:

“He’s got a great mix going right now with attacking the rim, getting to the line and high-volume 3s—he’s not hesitating.

“It’s really, really good basketball. And his defense is elite.”

On Delon Wright’s performances of late:

“[Wright has] shown everyone he’s more than capable. We like the job that he’s done.”

On Jalen Brunson’s injury status:

“He’s cleared for basketball activities.”

On when Deuce McBride will make his return:

“Any day now.”

Josh Hart

On Anunoby’s offensive shift:

“I’m not sure how many times you’ve guys have seen it—in transition or semi-transition—and he gets the ball with a head of steam. I feel like, earlier in the season, he’d kick it out and get the ball moving. Now, he’s realized that he’s a 6-foot-8, 245-pound demon. He’s put his head down and getting to the rim, layups, dunks and fouls. He’s put that little step-through gather step into his mid-post package. It’s helped him a little bit. We love him being aggressive.”

On reintegrating Brunson:

“I think it’ll be a little bit of an adjustment period. For me, it’ll be easy because I played with him for 2 ¹/₂ years.

“The blessing of having him out that long is OG’s been playing unbelievably. [Bridges] has been playing great. [Karl-Anthony Towns] has been playing great. So now there might be a little adjustment in terms of him reintegrating and getting his shots, and playmaking, but also getting those other guys involved.

“It won’t be the same capacity obviously, but we want to get those guys involved when J.B. is out of the game, when J.B. is in the game. It might be a blessing.

“We’ve got a couple of games before playoffs to figure that out.”

OG Anunoby

On playoff mindset:

“I know when the season’s done and playoffs are starting, it’s time to play the best. Everyone thinks that way.

“You want to be peaking at the end. That’s everyone’s goal.”

Delon Wright

On his offensive role:

“Sometimes I have to be more aggressive looking to score. I’m pretty sure that’s what the scouting report is—he’s going to try to pass. So I could look at the basket more and make the right play from there, whether it’s score or pass.

“Getting to the paint and passing is something I like to do. It is who I am. I’m used to not trying to do too much. People want me to do more, actually, try to do more on the offensive end, try to score more.

“I stick to my ways and know myself. I’m not trying to do too much and getting the ball to the right people.”

Carmelo Anthony

On Kiyan’s McDonald’s All-American snub:

“(Kiyan Anthony) ain’t lose in high school yet, in his senior year yet.

“They’re the No. 3 in the country. What are we sitting here talking about? How? That’s my perspective on it.

“I think he got jerked. I think he deserved (being named a McDonald’s All-American).”

Gilbert Arenas

On Kiyan Anthony not being selected for McDAAG:

“The ‘King of New York’ was not in the McDonald’s All-American Game. Kiyan ‘The King of New York’ Anthony wasn’t invited to the McDonald’s All-American Game in New York.

“These are moments you cannot miss. This is a full-circle moment. You had the father on a McDonald’s commercial… You for sure thought Kiyan was going to be in the goddamn game. It was only right.

“Ranked No. 1 in New York City, I mean, come on, y’all!”
