Brunson is a savant.

Much respect for a Detroit Pistons creator to put that together.

It's a shame some posters want to group Brunson with such selfish players such as Carmelo Anthony.

Did we miss his game 5 video when Gucchi Trey Burke batted .250?

Not even sure where you are on the irony meter with this, but Brunson is a significantly better player. Even when Brunson frustrates me with his lapses into ISO tunnel vision, he is not only a better situational player than Melo and a million times more clutch, he is so much more entertaining to watch. I think early Melo as young stud in Denver was definitely fun to watch, but I hated his game in NY. Jab step, jab step, so fcking boring. Brunson is like crack to any hoops junkie with his moves. He's insanely creative.

Carmelo was a great player but a finisher; he needed someone to get him the ball, ultimately. Gross oversimplification, since he could score on his own, and those teams weren't that good, but he had a more of a scorer's mentality and less of a team player than Brunson, who while still a score first point guard, seems mostly into having a team identity.

Mostly I was just stirring the pot for fun

First, shooting .250 doesn’t have anything to do with selfishness. You can shoot 1.000 and still be selfish.

Second, you have to take all the games as a whole

Third, starting to understand why you can’t enjoy the current Knicks’ success and need to root for them to fail.

Oh brother.

How many games did Melo win with the last shot?

Very few.

Brunson does it fairly often. He is the NBA Clutch Player after all.

He's a much more substantial player than Melo ever was.

Melo cult still very active. You’d think it was a dead religion by now

Def Allan Houston for me. I remember that like yesterday.

It was also sadly more surprising than JB’s game winner. We’ve come to expect the latter.

I remember being at the Garden in the 90s and watching the Patrick Ewing KNICKS beat Michael Jordan and the Bulls by 33 points. Moments like that, the Alan Houston shot, and now the JB 3-pointer, are ones you never forget.

I swear I think Mitch deflected that shot by Cunningham when he missed while going left

They’re weaning themselves off by rooting for Randle

This is part of sham’s new effort to pay people per post to talk up Mitch

All kidding aside, the Tweet is fair — it does seem like Mitch impacted both plays

Good

Btw did Mikal have another tip-in all season?

Season ain't over yet, he has chance to do it again with his 7'1" wingspan.

True

Did he intend to bank it in also? Questions that we’ll never need to know the answer to

Basketball gods finally smiling on us … ?
