Knicks to the ECF!? 😱 Perk LOVES what he’s seeing from Jalen Brunson | NBA Countdown

The New York Knicks they lead the Philadelphia 76ers 7555 at halftime behind yes 21 from jayen Brunson but 23 fast break points Brian that is their most in a half this season and 13 three-pointers and I’m telling you I don’t think Nick nurse thought he was

Going to have to excoriate his team well somebody shut off dece McBride which he had to do in this first half oh no no we’re not about to talk about dece McBride we’re about to talk about about this one eight because I know all of y’all have seen The Five

Heartbeats And I know y’all remember when JT was at the table and the husband walked up he say every night I got a fight to prove my love I have no idea what he’s talking about that’s exactly that’s exactly what’s going on with Jen Bronson every time he have the match up

Against Superstars we saw him drop that 38 piece on Christmas Day against Giannis and the bucks with the win now tonight he coming to the game he’s going against Tyrese Maxi and Joel and beting he’s leading all scores right now with 21 at at the half eight from eight for

12 from the field doing his St and four for six from three people forget he’s 62 actually people probably don’t forget based off of the debates right now on the internet but yeah coming into this matchup it’s amazing that I can say that I expect him to show up against the best

I expect him to play with a chip on his shoulder why you looking at me crazy you do I I told you this okay we’ve had two voice breaks on this show thus far but no one’s counting Tyrese Maxi is 20 points Jo beid has 16 it’s the others

That seem to be lagging behind a little bit Brian yeah they got to stop the three-point shooting of the Knicks and Dante D venzo also perfect from three-point range he’s having the best three-point shooting season of his career so that’s not a surprise either but 75 points on your home floor on

Friday night can’t let that happen 76 so are you going to still say perk that they’re not contenders the next well look I’m going say this I’m going say this about tobi’s hairs right like his name always get come come up when it’s time for you know the trade deadline but

Then order to shut those those rumors up or whatever he need to do he has to be consistent right now two for five from the field Five Points he has consistently be that third star for the Philadelphia are the next contenders the way playing like this they look good

Okay that’s a yes J BR I’m speaking on jayen Bron the New York Knicks they get a huge win 12892 and we were chatting before this about this is the the Nick’s biggest win since but the fact of the matter is they beat Minnesota just a couple of days ago

What do you of this performance they’ve been playing really well since they made this tra even though Oobi hasn’t played great offensively he and Julius Randall four of 22 but their bench is awesome in this game Jaden Jaylen Brunson stays hot and a real quality win and by the way

Joel embiid has 30 and 10 but as le as little impactful 30 and 10 as you’re ever going to see big victory for the Knicks perus champing at the bid over there yeah I mean Bronson had 30 it was very impactful you got that right he keep having 30s every time the lights

Hit the ice he come out and great fashion and to our previous conversation oh yeah let’s get to it when we was talking about the Knicks and whether or not they’re contenders I highlighted Julius Randall for a reason his inconsistency tonight he gave them absolutely nothing now he may bounce

Back but I want to see him and what he do against contenders and Philly is a contender tonight one for 11 for the field the one thing you could always count on Jaylen Brunson that damn 18 and Jaylen Bronson is rise to the case but I

Think that they got OG in an Obi so that they’d have another piece to take pressure off of a Julius Randall right so that they’ll be a more complete team I don’t think that they are a championship team I’ve said that before but I do think that OG’s a championship

Piece I think jaylen’s a championship piece I think Julius is a great player and they’re building you’re starting to see like the buildings of a team that is competent but I will say this I wouldn’t be surprised if the Knicks happened to make it to the Eastern Conference Finals

Oh my you say so many no no no no we were talking about no no I don’t no why would we be surprised because I said I wouldn’t be surprised why wouldn’t you be surprised because because they have a culture they have a a championship level coach in Tom Tibido everybody knows

Their role I’m looking at it right now Josh Josh har 15 boards knowing his road so we used the comp of the 2021 Hawks a couple of days ago where it’s like okay you get a couple of pieces you get a little bit of luck that bounces your way

You make some shots that maybe on another night you wouldn’t have made all of a sudden you’re in the finals of this was a really good win let’s let’s stay control I know I think the one thing we can say about the Knicks they still have really good depth despite making a trade

That hollowed out maybe their best bench player and that’s what really you could take away from this game is that Philly had some injuries and they couldn’t keep up with the Knicks overall performance and Jaylen Brunson he keeps playing this way he’s going to be an All-Star and

He’s going to sniff all NBA if he keeps playing this way and that is a huge factor for the Knicks so New York Knicks they get the win in the first game uh even though I don’t know that any of us expected this to be the performance that we saw from the Philadelphia [Applause] [Applause] 76ers

On NBA Countdown, Malika Andrews is joined by Chiney Ogwumike, Brian Windhorst and Kendrick Perkins to speak on what they saw from Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks in their dominating 128-92 victory over Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers at halftime and postgame.
