lmaaaooo

He is in his feelings deep

Brunson aint giving them touches up .

He’s gonna have to if they want to win.

You make $40m. You're allowed to shoot the ball or take advantage of an ISO

Brunson hasn't adapted his game to their roster. He's taking 24 shots a game so far in this series; the next closest guy is Towns with 12!

The Knicks have way too much talent for Brunson to be playing this way. I do not understand how he never gets called out for being a gunner.

You know why Bridges looks like shyt? Because Brunson wants to pound the fukking rock all game looking for his own shot.

KAT, OG and Bridges are all capable of getting 20+ on a regular basis but they can't because the point guard wants the most shots. I know "pure" points don't really exist anymore but if any team needed one, it's the Knicks.

Brunson plays like they have two stars surrounded by a bunch of grinders and limited players.

Them nikkas aren’t who you think they are. They’re a bunch of play finishers not guys who get there’s or force the issue. Their whole careers they’ve had the tendency to fade.

Bridges is completely contact adverse it’s not on Brunson.

 

[the next guy]

again is brunson a number one?

That's what a fukking point guard is for.

They ain’t doing shyt don’t die on that hill

 

[ISO]

again is brunson a number one?

Top 5 iso player in the league, reigning Clutch Player of the Year, proven dominant resilient playoff scorer with multiple series averaging 30-35 points per game

If that’s not a number one than what the fukk is

Defense and height has nothing to do with being a number one

 

[SadimirPutin]

Knicks desperately need a big scoring wing. They gonna have to try to get Kawhi.

The Kawhi that has been injured and or getting packed up in the playoffs every year since 2019?

 

[Panther]

Trae should show up Saturday for fukkery Purposes alone.

Trae gonna post that hater at the funeral meme once the Knicks get bounced

 

[Nero Christ]

Brown stubbornly not playing Mitch & KAT together plays right into ATL hands. They don’t have no where near the size to match up with that and this dummy refuses to adjust to that.

Bro I am a Knicks fan too. Who has won with a number 1 that short? He doesn't distribute well either.

 

[steph_harden]

They’re getting what they deserve.

I could even listen to an argument for firing Thibs but you don’t fire him and fukking hire MIKE BROWN

Turns out their targets were Udoka and Kidd. And they “settled” for Mike Brown

But neither of those 2 are an upgrade over Thibs to begin with.

Kinda wish Thibs woulda got the chance to finish what he started..

Bro this Knicks roster is limited asf, outside of Brunson who on that roster can consistently create their own shot? OG? Bridges?

Brunson’s usage is justified given the absolute mud that surrounds him, he just has to make better decisions

Being a number one option is about getting buckets through pressure when it comes to that there’s almost no one in the league I rather have than Brunson

Being a number one has nothing to do with defense, passing, height or none of that other shyt
