Stephen A. reacts to New York Knicks dominate Golden State Warriors 119-112; Jalen Brunson 34 Pts

Welcome inside our Los Angeles Studio Kendrick Perkins Richard Jefferson Chena gum I’m Malika Anders the New York Knicks they lead the Golden State Warriors 62 to 56 at halftime this is behind really a balanced attack here from Duce McBride from Jaylen Brunson McBride has 19 runson 14 in this first

Half here perk Rich hold this for me just hold it okay give me what you going to do but I’m not doing nothing see that’s what the Knicks do every single night they walk into the game they go take your lunch money and sooner or

Later you got to stand up to the bully you can’t be taking nobody’s lunch money bro I bet you take it back right Jan what did you see that allowed the Warriors they went on a 12 to2 run to get back this game we’re good fam I

Just know I know you had everybody’s love the Golden State Warriors they went on a bit of a run they made it a little more of a game after it’s a good guy after the New York opened really with a statement against the team that beat them on their home floor in Madison

Square Garden who Lun we’re going to go to break it we’re Boston Celtics because they have been rolling teams at home it continue tonight even without Jason Tatum without Drew holiday in this one Jaylen Brown said don’t worry I got this even going left okay with the left no Jason Tatum

No problem that’s how bad the Boston Cel no I’m joking the Boston cels are a monster team I like look they are the best team in the league they have the most Talent they have a good we sure to do that to the Denver Nuggets yeah standing on that Richard standing

On what well this in this eight game winning streak at home they’re beating teams by an average of like 26 points look and they’re going to need this guy to be consistent because he is truly the one that people are going to watch to in the postseason as well everybody want to

Start using their left hands Kyrie that’s different Jaylen Brown that’s different here’s a look at the updating standings although the Celtics have been at the top for a minute I want to focus in on number four here the New York Knicks they face the Golden State Warriors in the second game of our

Double header we know they will be without ogan and Obi CH you highlighted earlier in NBA Countdown Just how important he is particularly to the defense of this team the Golden State Warriors need to to stockpile wins there’s really no other way to put it

Who has the edge in this one well that’s a good question I would say that at the edge goes with the New York Knicks just because yeah I mean even short-handed even no Julius Randall no OG un yeah I mean no we’re not making any sounds the

Reason why I say the Knicks is because they have something really I know the Warriors are trapped almost in the playin but the Knicks have the blessing of being in fored and we’ve seen better basketball especially from this guy right here Jaylen Brunson so they feel

Like they have to win in a way that I think the Warriors have already been certified the last few years I mean this is a team with four championships and they’re fighting for their playoff lives playin lives per I’m I’m going with the Knicks as well I

Think you know the way that they’re playing obviously jayen Bronson but I’m looking at Josh Hart right he has somewhat been the unsung hero for this team all year long right you look at the Cavs game about a week ago when he when uh Jaylen Bronson went down two weeks

Ago and Josh Hart stepped up and had those big moments he’s been a monster on the glass his energy has been contagious I I mean they just playing with a certain type of edge that I feel like no team in the league could match on the defensive side of the thing and that’s

Where they separate defense no OG but you think overall in the big picture their defensive identity is really from coach thibs and it Trends to everyone else no I’m going to go with the Golden State Warriors and this is why look I I think right now the Knicks are kind of

Where they’re in a better space than what the Warriors are but when I look at the Warriors yes they were trending in the right direction then Steph gets hurt now he’s back look there’s Jaylen Brunson is a superstar Jaylen Brunson is a stud that is not a question but we saw

When Jaylen Brunson had a great team around them the Knicks were going like this just like a lot of other teams in this league when players like that get hurt when you lose OG when Julius Randle is out all of a sudden you start looking like an average team with a great player

The Golden State Warriors are an average team with a great player so I’m going to give it to the home team I’m going to give it to to Steph I’m going to go with the Warriors because I think they’re starting to hopefully they can kind of rebuild that what they were kind of

Trending prior to that Boston Celtic 50o loss what they were trending in that space so I’m going to go with the Warriors any has put together consecutive 4 disagree the next word is BET okay bet that bad boy then give some of that money money y want doing money no shoot

He getting paid that big ugly mug on every single poster in commercials ha starting to smell like perfume if the Golden State Warriors are going to get a much needed win tonight where does it start look I’ve love the growth of Jonathan kaminga and I do like that they changed their hierarchy right

We all know what stuff provides he’s still giving us like the NBA and made 3es in year 15 but it’s the others and I hate to say others because it feels like you’re diminishing them but no J the others right now and Clay has been great

Off about to say six man clay a little a little sister shout out Kendra Andrew had an excellent story on the connection between Draymond Green and Jonathan kaminga that’s up.com right now they that that their relationship that they have the mentorship that they have it’s paying dividends on the floor all right

That’s going to be do it for us we will see you at halftime it’s time to get you out to the Bay Area they build walls on defense that’s why they’re able to win they may not throw up those 130 Point kns but look at the wall in which they

Rim protect they have each other’s back and the head of the snake is OG anobi he is by the numbers one of if not the best perimeter defensive player in the NBA he holds his opponents that are near him amongst qualified players to 41% defensively shoot you know offensively

Shooting and then look at these numbers again second in holding opponents in points per game fourth in paint points per game they get defensive rebounds where people think that you have to rely on one player or two have this tremendous Center the Knicks have the defense now they’re trying to round out

Their star power and they’re going to be great to come not to mention you know the way that we have seen games started the referees have started to call less fouls that plays directly into the physical nature of a Tom Tibido coach team but you mentioned OG and anobi OG

Is out with that right injury management that right elbow management rather W he missed 18 games with that injury what more can you tell about how long he could be out here mik I’m told that OG an anobi is going to be out more than just tonight that that right elbow has

Flared up again they need it to calm down how long he is out is unclear but it’s certainly a concern for this next team they do not know the status of Julius Randall moving forward and right now they will miss ogan anobi more than just this game against the Warriors

Tonight I’m health is going to be such a key factor for the New York Knicks moving down the stretch here the Knicks the Warriors that is the second game of Our for for speech for Spe for for fore Speee fore fore Spe fore spee spech for speeech spee spee you
