Inside the NBA | “Jalen Brunson is MVP CANDIDATE” – Shaq impressed Knicks take down Kings 98-91

Points for Jaylen Brunson Karen the offense for the New York Knicks and Sam what do you notice on your screen Sacramento Kings held at 91 points that’s been a theme with these Knicks especially since the allstar no I’m looking at Darren Fox numbers Jaylen Bronson man I you know what I want to

See I want to see Jaylen Brunson numbers head up against the other point top point guards I guarantee you he’s outplayed them in 60% of the time he has housed these guys man Darren fox has been killing people but when Jay Bronson comes to town he bring the whole package

Man he is lighting people up well the other thing for me when I look at jayen Brown I just think he’s an all NBA player he he is listen honestly if they can continue this type of success I mean there’s still time left if they somehow move up

Until to the three spot he’s got to get MVP consideration when you factor in all that they’ve dealt with from an injury standpoint how incredibly efficient he been the type of leadership he’s also displayed it’s been impressive to watch what this Knicks team has been able to

Do now to go out on the road yeah you you probably expect them to be Portland then the next game you go and you play a Sacramento team where sack is a tough place to play especially when you’re coming from the East Coast you get another win now already their road trip

Successful right they they’re they’re guaranteed to be 500 on this trip so they’ve got to be feeling really good about where they are knowing that they’re going to potentially get get Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randall back before the season’s over and with the moves Leon Rose has made this Knicks

Team is I I think formidable it’s going to make it interesting in the East to the point that g just made right looking at the Eastern Conference standings to see okay Cleveland Cavaliers a team that’s four- six in their last uh 10 games right struggling and the Knicks

Gained another game uh up on the Cleveland Cavaliers for that third spot so now they’re two games back that seems like an attainable goal to what G is saying yeah but I don’t think it really matters we saw what Nicks got a mental Edge over Cleveland we saw what the

Nicks did to him last year and Cleveland’s remember that Nicks just out physical them they just beat him up so you and if you look at how the Nick’s playing right now they don’t even have Julius Randle back and their Center’s not back yet once they get completely healthy they’ve added bonovich Shooters

And other guys man they from top to bottom they’re as good as Rost as a lot of teams I still give Boston a Edge because those two forward jayen Brown and Tatum and then the Pingas and rest of those guys but I say the Knicks if

They can slow the game down and make it a physical halfcourt basketball series if they meet the Celtics then they got chance but if they want to run up and down the court and trade threes with them nobody’s going to be Boston if you do that but you got to find a different

Style of play you got to slow it down and make the game physical Inside Out basketball game and if you can keep the game around a 100 100 to 105 Greg that’s how you’re going to beat Boston but you’re not going to outscore Boston running up and down the court yes so the

Knicks been playing excellent defense since the All-Star break they win this one at 9891 over the Sacramento Kings tell you what it’s not a team that you want to play in the postseason because of the experience and the Firepower that they have I just think for me it’s their

Ball movement the way they move the ball the way they play they they separate themselves I would give them a chance over a lot of other teams even the Lakers or Phoenix because they keep you off balance it is hard to defend the Golden State Warriors most of the nights

In order to beat them they have to miss shots you got to make them Miss shots and we saw tonight Steph Curry did as much damage from the inside the paint and he did from the three-point line and that’s the thing that kills you about the Golden State Warriors when everybody

Else try to copicat them they stand out there and shoot 53s Goen State like if you going to run me off the three-point I’ll take the left so again I agree with you from the standpoint who wants to play them if they get to the

Eth spot but man that’s a hard road to come out there play in and then fight your way in the Western Conference as tough as that conference is it’s going to be tough hold on you said something very important here right because let’s say it’s the Warriors or it’s the Lakers

And they can get to that eight seed could you see one of them being like the Miami Heat from last year and making a push and actually making it to the finals who’s number one in the west right now the Denver Nuggets no because there’s one thing about Denver ain’t

Minnesota and Denver ain’t OKC those are two young teams feeling themselves in the top of the standings but the Denver Nuggets won a championship they got the reigning they got the two-time MVP and maybe going to be the third time Jamal muray that book in forwards Porter and

Those guys so again if they if the Golden State Warriors have to play Denver hold on so s it’s not going to be it’s not going to work well for Denver what if it’s the Thunder for the Timberwolves I would give him a Punch’s chance with experience then but this is

Another thing did you see them young boys in Minnesota OKC especially Minnesota what did they say about these Olden teams old teams hey man they see a lot of mismatches and Greg I tell you this after 82 games and you you got to play in the play in and then you got to

Go play a tough seven game series against some young guys that just getting up and down the court breaking you down it’s tough I I will say technically OKC is in first and and I love OKC young nucleus they do have a tremendously good talented team but when

You’ve never played in the postseason when you haven’t played a team seven consecutive times potentially when you don’t understand what types of adjustments they can make and do you have the ability to make adjustments that are going to impact the outcome of a game so even though I love OKC and I

Think their future is very bright and they’ve had an incredible season I would not be surprised if a team like the Warriors or the Lakers got them in the first round that’s the only team and I think that they would have a chance I would also Minnesota right now if Carl

Anthony towns is not back and not right even though they can still win games again when you get in the postseason and Sam you know this it matchups matter and your ability to exploit matchups matter and if you take Carl Anthony towns off of that Minnesota team they they’re

Already a team that struggles to score they’re not an explosive offensive team they’re dominant defensive team but I do think that those two teams even though they’re at the top those are the kind just like we saw last year when Golden State beat Sacramento in a seven game

Series when go when sack was the three seed and gold state was able to go win that game that Series in seven and that’s a seven game series when you’ve not had that experience man is a big difference because of the ability the impact coaching has and the talent and

Experience that you have if you can make the right kinds of adjustments to kind of throw off your opponent I think that’ll work for OKC but not for Minnesota and when you when even without Carl ltown have you seen Nas Reed play he’s been out like and they’re big that

Physical Rudy go makes a difference he eats up a lot of space he grabs rebounds he blocks shots and defensively the other night against the Clippers had them now 18 they took their defense to another level and they flipped them and beat him by 18 to 20 points that’s the

Thing to me about Minnesota against the other young team defense travels in the playoff and they hang their had on defense and they got some guys from one through five that can just lock you down so I see from your Greg point if it’s OKC the Lakers three and one against OKC

This year they can be had but Minnesota with Rudy goar in the middle Nas Reed and that man Anthony Edwards they’re a different animal all right time now for your State Farm ass enemy triple kill my life reborn for the battle our base is under attack defe we In Here now Got Here Ho Holy what E B fore speee trust is a luxury we can’t afford first this is for crossing resistance you have defeated an Enemy you have been defeated an enemy has been defeated an ally has been defeated double kill triple kill you have defeated an enemy your team has destroyed a tower out of My an ally has been defeated once an enemy always an enemy on FL double kill we will create a new world with our own hands Domin kill triple kill victory For sh
