NBA TODAY | Danny Green: Jalen Brunson can still lead Knicks to East Finals after Randle’s injury

They’re in third place after Friday’s big win in Denver but they also had a home loss to the bull so Minnesota was out scored 13-2 over the final 5 minutes they rank 27th in clutch time we’ve been talking about this Danny do you trust this team late in games nope this was an

Issue they had before All-Star break they should have fixed it then um they need Carl Anthony towns to be healthy for them to make a Deep Run and they don’t have it right now that was the sync he said nope all right after a brief stint in third the Nuggets they

Climbed back into second place that’s thanks to a cool 26 18 and 16 from Nicola yic against the Cavaliers Zach How likely is it that joker becomes just the second unanimous MVP in NBA history after Steph unanimous unanimous unlikely not going to be unanimous those other

Guys down there are going to get votes Lucas making to push SGA he’s not going to be unanimous I would be shocked if you were unanimous shocked I say shocked but will he be the MVP probably probably all right last stop the garden Jaylen Brunson and the New York Knicks hosting

The Oklahoma City Thunder we’re picking this up with under four minutes left here the Knicks Trail by three Brunson the ball stays alive and he’s able to nail the three tie game at 104 Zack low Dylan Brunson what an incredible story clutch shot after clutch on and this guy

Get to know and the love of America Jay dub Jaylen Williams he’s a stud he absolutely is the thunder up by three 12 seconds left the Knicks down by one Jaylen Brunson blows past jet hrin he wanted to be called for the an one there Zach

I think I’m kind of okay with that being a no call it looks like a foul when he falls over he falls over a lot I think I might be okay with that as a no call sorry Nicks fans the Nicks up by one you think that that might be it however you

Don’t think that might be it this dude is an absolute killer a killer dous MVP you said no way I have him as my MVP honestly you have Shay gild Alexander as your MVP all right well last chance for the New York Knicks 1.8 on the clock

This is the guy you want to have the ball Brunson couldn’t quite get it to go that noise he finished with 30 points the Knicks lose a heartbreaker OKC though clinched a playoff spot last night and according to ESPN analytics the Thunder currently have a 48% chance

To get that one seed something they haven’t done since big perk was an OKC while the Timberwolves and Nuggets they each have a 26% chance to finish with the top spot as for the Knicks could help be on the way well here’s Josh har this is a team that we’re going to have

You know uh you know I think that’s how you know we have to approach it you know that that those guys um you know aren’t coming back and then obviously we’ll be pleasantly surprised if they come back Adrien wowski back with us here and Josh Hart he seems resigned to the fact

That OG an anobi Julius Randall they are not walking through the door anytime soon is he right though what are their timelines to return M let’s set aside Julius Randall for a moment nothing has changed on him he’s not been cleared for contact yet but OG anobi listen I’m told that the

Knicks they want that elbow which had a loose body taken out of it uh at at the trade deadline early February he came back played a couple games and then went out again they don’t want him in and out of the lineup they want uh that injury

The inflammation uh the irritation to to go away and that when they bring OG anoi back he can stay back and they’ve got certainly uh look at the big picture of having him healthy ready uh hopefully for uh the postseason that doesn’t mean he won’t come back during the regular

Season uh but they don’t want him in and out of the lineup uh and this is an organization right now that wants to play it safe with anobi they’re 15-2 in New York in games he’s played this season since that trade from the Raptors W thank you so very much certainly OG an

Anobi has missed his fair share of games over the last several years so this is something that the Knicks knew when they ated for him still as W said 15 and two they want this guy back but as much as I know you’ve been high on the Knicks and

As much as I know Danny you enjoy the Knicks there is no bigger body supporter of Jaylen Brunson out of the east east of Madison Square Garden than you Kendrick Perkin so if injury questions continue to hang over New York as we head into the playoffs do you think that

Jaylen Brunson he can still lead this Knicks team to an Eastern Conference Finals which is where you set uh their bar not too long ago yes why is he Whispering it that mean yeah that that means I’m not saying it with confidence and with my chest Pok

Out but I’m gonna go down with this ship if it happen to sync on me believing in Jaylen Bronson and him leading this New York Knicks team even without OG and anobi and Julius rer to the Conference Finals listen the New York right now the East is wide open if they could stay

Away from the Boston Celtics I believe that Jaylen Bronson has the capable ability of dominating any series we saw look individually we saw a small sample size of this this past weekend we saw what what uh Victor wimba yamba had to do in order to knock off J big body

Bronson historical 61 performance we saw last night him go against a tough Oklahoma City Thunder team and SDA had to hit a game winner well I’m looking in the East and I’m looking at how jayen Bronson has been delivering if those others Josh Hart uh hardenstein you know

Uh Alex Burke if they could just Elevate that game just a little bit they still got a fighting chance to make a make noise in competing the East to make it to the Conference Finals yes I’m with you on this one big perk um Jaylen Brunson is special some guys just know

How to win and he gets it done regardless who’s on the floor or not he’s going to figure out a way only if they can avoid Boston they can beat Milwaukee they can beat Philly Cleveland teams like that but if they end up facing Boston before the easn Conference

Finals then they’ll probably be going home without those guys but those other teams I think Jaylen Bruns is special enough to beat them not by himself but he can lead his team to beat those guys a lot of ifs from these people a lot of

Ifs ifers if ifs were fifths we’d all be drunk is that what perk says I got no ifs they’re not good to the Conference Finals with that OG and Obi and Julius Randle if that you’re saying they’re going to beat either the bucks or the Celtics in the second round as presly

Constituted I love this team I love their fight I love jayen Brunson who’s making a case not just for all NBA but for that fifth spot on the first team NBA I don’t think he’s going to get there but he’s making a case I love everything about him I love tibs love

The toughness they played eight guys yesterday essentially for how many minutes six of them played more than 12 minutes I don’t know what kind of fumes these dudes are going to be running on when the playoffs start but poor Duce McBride and Josh Hart need a night off I

Just don’t think they have enough Firepower without both anobi and Randle to beat Milwaukee or definitely not Boston in the series now if they got an anobi back that might change the equation because I think he fits perfectly I think he actually might be more important to their team than

Randall is but I just wish we could see them all healthy cuz they were rolling and rampaging over everybody and they were that team with everybody was a threat not just to make the Conference Finals but to be a pain against Boston in the Conference Finals Jaylen Brunson

Has been breathtaking all season long it has been so much fun to watch him I he is inching towards the category of well you don’t really want to bet against Jaylen Brunson because just when you do he’s going to surprise you however watching down the stretch of that game

When you’re asking a six-foot guard to operate and score in the paint the way that that you’re asking him to without a Julius Randle and some of these other guys it’s getting a little bit tricky when you start to look at some of those matchups and as wo just said right now

It looks like OG an aobi could be on a better track track to be back sooner than Julius Randall and they need their full compliment of guys that they’re going to make a serious run in a crowded Eastern Conference but my friends we got

A lot to get to on this show so up next here how much LeBron how much time he thinks he has left in the league but will the Warriors three stay together for longer than that we discuss and make perk pick Plus [Applause] Aead you spe I’m green lightning we can’t AFF First Blood I got eyes and ears everywhere an enemy has been defeated is that it our Dragon Lane Tower is under Attack you’ll remember me when I’m done with you dragon and Slayer have appeared our Slayer Lane Tower is under attack our Dragon Lane Tower is under attack everywhere our Dragon Lane Tower is under attack is that It you have defeated an Enemy trust is a luxury we can’t afford you’ll remember me an ally has been defeated you have been defeated back everyone has a weakness sh me an ally has been Defeated our Slayer Lane Tower is under Attack you have defeated an enemy enemy ultimate an enemy has been defeated double kill the iron defense line has disappeared send it the ball our Dragon Lane Tower is under attack nothing nothing can hold me down smoke screen you have been defeated your team has destroyed a tower an ally has been
