Jalen Brunson is a REAL superstar! – NBA Gametime react to Knicks beat 76ers for 3rd straight win

New York goes on to win another impressive win for them 128 92 you know tibs is going to love that defense meanwhile Joel embiid hitting 30 and 10 again that’s his 15th straight game tying Wilton Kareem he’s the only three to ever do that but let’s

Start with the New York Knicks though 33 points on the fast break really pushing the pace in this game SMY yeah I mean for the Knicks you love it because right now is um they know they have two scores where they’re going and I love the way

The other guys fit in and they plan faster jayen Brunson has done a nice job and you can see when at the Philadelphia 76ers with jol being playing hardenstein has done a nice job bwood no Mitchell Robinson he’s come in playing starters minutes and he’s been super solid on the

Defensive end his energy his toughness I like that young man what makes Jaylen Brunson so effective when he what is he doing when he’s at his best surveying the defense can’t speed him up he gets to his spots he has incredible footwork um jump shot has just gotten better

Every single year that he’s been in the league but he just plays smart plays tough and he reads a pick and roll well and then even when he doesn’t have anything he’ll walk those guards down to like that mid post low post area and he’ll get he’ll knock down shots and so

Not the flashiest he’s not the fastest he’s not the quickest not going to beat anybody in a in a in in a race but at the end of the day he knows four3 speed doesn’t have that 43 speed so uh at the end of the day he he will find a way to

Be effective though and not down shots at a high level and that’s why he’s so perfect for this team B would just just put this in perspective the dominance of Joel embiid another 310 game that’s 15 straight wow I mean I never thought we’d see centers averaging points like this

Like if you told me like 27 28 a couple years ago for Joel I’d be like yeah I I could definitely see that but what he’s doing this year 35 a night to go along with the rebounds and the assists it’s truly dominant having a year that’s even

Better than last year which was the MVP season we might be looking at it another back-to-back MVP so I mean his numbers speak for itself he’s one of the best players in the league Bar None this is this has been an elite stretch for Joe

Lmb and I like like I said in the Highlight I like the fact that he’s getting he’s letting his feet touch that paint a lot more this year he’s weak side ducking in he’s drop stepping he’s the biggest bully in the yard and now he’s showing it on a more consistent

Basis yeah I I I think the difference is his points in the paint versus all the other years even against his MVP level I think also just now he won’t tire out I mean there’s not there’s not a bad shot when you’re in the paint I mean uh only

Thing is for me when you’re that talented most of my coaches said a big is that talented there’s not a bad shot for him because a Miss is still a good shot because he’s around the rim he’s drawing two now if he’s shooting through double teams that’s when I start saying

It’s a bad shot for a big but usually if B will catches in the paint he can go with a jump book miss it we’ll live with that yeah but most of the time some positive play is going to happen in paint automatic and again Kareem’s got

The record 16 straight of 13 or 30 and 10 Joel sitting at 15 so we’ll catch up to that when it come having a good time man how about the Clippers and Pelicans Clippers have won 11 straight games with kawh Leonard in the oh hold up zubac oh valent hey man valent tunes’s

Name is JV zubac look like V City Harden wide open and then this time goes into Paul George the footwork the footwork okay car the baby yeah the baby you know’s Rock the Baby they to car the rocking the baby together Zion with the SWAT I like when

You playing defense like that right there I got to G I need some double digit rebounding game more Paul George Clippers ending the quarter on a 24-7 run they’re up 5641 at the break back to Zion we go get down here now this is the bad news

Though leaves the game at the 824 Mark in the third with the right leg contion did not return so again hopefully that nothing serious I love the way tan Lewis using Russell Westbrook on that block draw a double team and then kick out the guys and just play through him that’s second

Unit Norm Pow with the buck there 11195 so the Clippers continue to roll improving to 22 and 12 Paul George Leading The Way with 24 Norm Powell had 13 and joined game time after this one nor talk to us a little bit about uh you know how tyo has has really worked with

The team uh when James Harden came first five or six games uh it was a kind of fill out period for all of you but all of you seem to you know understand what the game plan was and once you got rolling now you guys look really good

How how did James fit in and what did Coach do to make it better for all of you um I think uh designated um who was going to who we’re going to play through you know um got a lot of guys we got four guys who are future Hall of Famers

Um you know Russ uh taking it on the shoulder to um uh come out the first unit and and play with the bench unit um and I think that kind of put everybody um in position uh to be successful and um playing throughout James you know um

He he’s a monster in the pick and roll U making the right reads attacking um attacking the mismatches and and kickouts to to the shooters and The Bigs um so just uh playing through those guys and playing off of them um I think that we attack people uh every single night

Differently um on who has it going out of those three in the starting unit nor when you look at your your guys team and the way you guys are playing do you honestly feel like you’re looking at the Western Conference and the way the strides that you guys have taken do you

Feel like now you guys are the best team that in in the Western Conference that you’re finally starting to live up to the promise that everybody’s been expecting for the past 2 three years with Kawai yourself PG now you’ve added James Harden do you feel like you now

Have the components to be that championship team that we’ve all been waiting for yeah I think we uh we we have the pieces I think we had the pieces before man but you know injuries play a big part of uh uh continuity and chemistry you know uh you know guys

Going out getting hurt late in the season and not having them uh in crucial moments um when we’re trying to make a run is really big but uh I think the team that um is built now um is built uh for that Championship run uh and I know

There’s a lot more work we got to do we’re not looking ahead we’re looking at um each game that’s in front of us and doing what we have to do to build to that goal you I think there’s another level that we can uh uh take it to you

Know locking up um in transition on our defensive end uh communicating in that area that’s always been an area for us and rebounding but I think we’re just uh staying in the moment um taking each game at a time and doing what we have to

Do to execute to get ready for um the postseason all right so making five straight wins for the Clippers 14 of their last 16 there’s been so much of uh focus on James Harden and rightly so with him coming over and then kawh Leonard as a team really started to play better but

Let’s not forget about Paul George yeah Paul George has been playing phenomenal basketball as well And foree Spee fore [Applause] for speech speech ATT spee e all the waye fore speech speech for speech fore foreign foreign foree foree [Applause] don’t is under attack now under foree fore for to spee spee foree jum see look spee spee speech speech Speech forch fore speech spech foreign speech for speech foreign spech speech spee foreign foreign speech spee spe speech spe speech spe
