Who? Lol Butler is nothing special
Stop it

Thats better than Dame's WCF run? Or Kyrie winning the Finals.
Yes it’s better than Dames run where he got swept and Kyrie playing robin to LeBron
Brunson just beat a terrible Sixers team where Harris scored 0 points and a handicap Embiid with a 40yr old Lowry
What a legend

Made back to back semis, which the Nets haven't done since 2007. Deal with it.
Nets living in your head rent free
Call me when you make a Finals this century.

I’d say Brunson might be better than Kyrie, because he can clearly carry a team as a #1. (Although that 2016 Finals Kyrie performance is just a performance for the ages capped off with that game-winning shot.) But in my opinion Brunson isn’t yet on the level of prime Damian Lillard.

I mean, you seem pretty shook by Jalen and Philly did a great job on him comparatively. Just wait til you see what he does to the Pacers...
Just admit Brunson is the East Harden lmao
Pacers omg another unstoppable and defensive world beater

A majority of the media and sportsbooks had the Knicks as underdogs when the series against Philly started.
Sixers were the hottest team in the league going into the playoffs.
They had the best player on their team…still lost.
Brunson is him. Keep hatin’

Wrong once again smh
You analyze a teams Playoff success in the Playoffs
Regular season nobody plays defense and only care about selfish stats. Grow up buddy

Brunson has been awesome, but peak Dame beats them all. Aside from Steph, Dame is the only small guard to LEAD a team to the conference finals as a teams best player. Even Kyrie never did that.
Give us a couple of weeks, man.
I do agree that he needs a little more hardware.

His motor and his resolve to keep shooting will go away, he'll look frazzled, etc. I think the Knicks could've still beat this limited Sixers team and maybe kyrie does it in different ways, but Brunson just appears to be a more consistent scorer and be mentally tougher, so I'll give it to Brunson. But if Kyrie can get to the finals and the Mavs win, I'd put that on the same plane. He's gotta show out and dominate.
Dame last year was incredible, he would've destroyed these Sixers too. But he's past his prime now.

If pains me to say, but Dame is showing his age. And tbf, it could very well just be coaching and roster. Those Blazer teams were built around him vs whatever the **** this Bucks Frankenstein team is. But man, Dame used to have “must see” games every week, now it’s every month… again, maybe just him trying to learn to be a second best guy vs a #1 option… but yeesh, looking like Blazers cashed out right in time.
And I say this as someone who was fully happy with him staying in Portland til the wheels fell off. Still would have been fine with that, but this was his choice… if it had to end like this, glad the timing worked like it did.
