Brunson was a 2 time national champion and arguable the best player in college basketball at one point. People forget that
Jalen Brunson is unstoppable!!!!!!!
Jalen BrunsHim
nba finals bound yessir
#KnicksNationNoMatterWhat
All JJ knows is shooting. He doesn't understand what rebounding, defense, effort, toughness means to winning.
The Knicks are now 7-2 VS the Cavs this year. If you think they will suddenly win 3 str8 games in the playoffs you are on drugs… The Knicks are clearly the better balanced team!
Main reason for the Knicks win was Randle not playing. Ball processions are more spread out including the bench players.
Jalen Brunson for real Donovan Mitchellâs Kryptonite. đđđ
The NY Knicks can compete with anyone in the NBA and beat anyone in the NBA. In fact I feel so confident in the Knicks that I feel when they lose they usually beat themselves. Getting Josh Hart in that trade was the move to take them to the next level. Once IQ starts to play with more confidence the second unit will be scary and head coach is making the right moves by playing the guys who are putting in the max effort. Saying all that to say if the Knicks make the finals they winning it all! Letâs go Knicks
Last yearâs Cavs would have fared better with Lauri as a 3 rd big. K-Love would have also helped. But the Knicks would have had Mitchell, so a no- win situation.
D Mitchell shrinks in playoffs every year and nobody talks about it.
Crazy Brunson won (led) 2 national championships and was overlooked just cause his size. He actually plays defense too lol. He's insanely good
Brunson reminds me of Isaiah Thomas on the Celtics
Allen and Mobley are two string beans compared to Robinson and Hartenstein . Brunson is tougher and better than Garland. We also have a better bench. Why is everyone so surprised that we are beating the Cavs? All they have is Donavon Mitchell.
Isaiah Thomas just did it at 5'8 for the Celtics 5 yrs ago…. but yes remarkable
If Randle would attack the paint consistently and stop shooting low quality looks weâre a threat!
Gonna be a nice game 7
How quickly the fans have turned on Donovan Mitchell đ¤Ł
Cuban……………..TOLD YOU SO!!. Don;t let him walk I said . Then you followed that up with several ego trades that were failures. Find a new team Luka (And at least try to play D)
Off topic, but a fun fact. Steve Nash is RJ Barrett's Godfather.
Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart was a great addition to the Knicks
Tommy with the drip as always…
Just say you were wrong about RJ not being a good finisher at the basket and this would be good.
If they donât close Cavs out in 5 itâs gonna get spooky.
Yall can't hav two things at the same time. If defending is good then shooting will be impacted…obviously
I was at the game Sunday… crowd was rocking… 6th man of the year contenders.
Jalen Brunson floater game makes it annoying for the cavs to box out , we forget how floaters open the game up
Mitch and Hartenstein arenât on the floor together, either one of them are taking on Mobley AND Allen on the boards at any given time. Put more respect on their performance
Exactly bail reform has these criminals bold
All without Randle.
I think itâs pretty clear now that Mitch is very underrated and that matchup against Allen is a tough one for the Cavs. I think his production on the boards and defensively + our bench play is why Iâm certain the Knicks will win this series.
Can we talk about how well jay wright coached players have been doing in the NBA recently?
Knicks are putting the Cavs over their knee & giving them a good Spanking.
One of the most underrated pieces on the Knicks is Mitchell Robinson. Heâs absolute monster rebounder and shot blocker! Doesnât get the credit he deserves
I could listen to jj talk knicks for maybe 7 hours straight
When Quickley is assigned to guard Garland, it goes very well for the Knicks.
Cavs are top heavy with a weak bench. Knicks are 9-man deep. Knicks fans knew this all along but were clowned by mainstream media and casual fans.
If the knicks finish this series, it proves Leon was right to not trade for Mitchell. Thatâs not a reflection on Mitchell heâs a great player having a tough series. The depthâŚthe knicks have it. And they wouldnât have had it with mitchel on the team. And their missing Grimes lol whoâs also solid. They made the right call. They do need to figure out the Julius Randle situation in the off season. Trading him may be the best thing and acquire shooters
Knicks is proving all these haters wrong, now u gonna see the bandwagon fans lmao…only show to watch is KFTV. Period!!!!
JJ still not giving Brunson his "Flowers".
Two Times National Champion and no one believed in him.
The Cavs have the personnel. The issue is lack of playoff experience. They are acting like they have never played basketball a day in their life. It's sad to see such talent going to waste because they are soft as tissue paper.
Knicks vs Sixers ECF đŽâđ¨
Jalen Brunson needs to be mentioned with the best handles in the league
