PG: KNICKS vs Pelicans: Cap'n Carried Us!!!

[Jalen Bluntson]

Crazy that we have the second best offensive in the league but can’t score at all when Brunson isn’t on the floor. Kat has been playing at an mvp level this year and we can’t score without Brunson on the floor. The dude is so important to everything we do on the court that I can’t praise the guy enough. He’s just incredibly good.

This is not true. Some games it is but, some games we go on runs when he is on the bench. Then people fly out of the woodwork talking about Brunson like we don't need him.

This is a team sport and you need talent to win. Some nights only one guy gets it done. Some night's they all get it done together. That's the nature of the game. Good teams lose to bad teams all of the time too.

We have two top 10 players right now. The rankings may not say it but, I do. We have a top big and a top PG in the entire league. Period. We have top end defensive wings and role players as well. This team is one of the title contending teams in the league. We just need to get to the playoffs healthy and show people what we are made of. We will get a better idea come the end of January into February when the schedule gets tougher.

For December we're 4th in DRTG, we're 4th in Net rating for December as well and have jumped up to 13 DRTG for the season. Surprise surprise, the people who spent hundreds of posts saying we'd be a bottom 5 defensive team are nowhere to be found. KAT is down to 59% DFG in rim protection for the month, he's now down to 66% on the season as well and of course people have stopped harping on that aspect of his game

Thanks for the stats, none of this is ever going to be acknowledged but at least we know

The last time he played C full time the Wolves were 13th defensively (With DLO as his PG), I compiled all his seasons as a C, and off the top of my head his DFG% came out to something respectable like 57%. But that all fell on deaf ears.

I am also checking team points allowed per game, our 109.39 is 6th lowest in the nba and 2nd best in the conference behind the magic (Boston right behind us at 109.61)

Haven’t seen Brunson go nuclear like that since the Philly series
Feels good to know he still has that capability

Crazy that we have the second best offensive in the league but can’t score at all when Brunson isn’t on the floor. Kat has been playing at an mvp level this year and we can’t score without Brunson on the floor. The dude is so important to everything we do on the court that I can’t praise the guy enough. He’s just incredibly good.

This is not true. Some games it is but, some games we go on runs when he is on the bench. Then people fly out of the woodwork talking about Brunson like we don't need him.

This is a team sport and you need talent to win. Some nights only one guy gets it done. Some night's they all get it done together. That's the nature of the game. Good teams lose to bad teams all of the time too.

We have two top 10 players right now. The rankings may not say it but, I do. We have a top big and a top PG in the entire league. Period. We have top end defensive wings and role players as well. This team is one of the title contending teams in the league. We just need to get to the playoffs healthy and show people what we are made of. We will get a better idea come the end of January into February when the schedule gets tougher.

We literally went on that huge run against the T Wolves a few days ago when Brunson was on the bench

Hope they can adopt the Mobb Deep style, being NY and all
Also, someone put Shook ones to a JB highlight reel, please

Imma need us to get to top 5 in the league in defense, and 1 overall in offense

It has happened a couple of times recently. I'm a huge Jalen fan obviously but, there are games where he needs to figure things out and the bench gets us going a bit. That's the nature of ALL sports. Some nights the best players and best teams just don't get it done.

The Knicks were 5-6 at one point and since then they have been 13-4

Yooo, we were 5-6? Holy sh** lol, it feels like ages ago, team has certainly gelled since then

I don’t think we had a losing record after the second game, did we?

[NiceLikeChrist]

OG is adding more and more tape to that right elbow as the season progresses...

Nahhh Brody
First 11 games we lost to the Celtics, Cavs, rockets, hawks, pacers, bulls
We won against the pacers, heat, pistons, bucks,
We split the first two games, against the Celtics, and pacers

In retrospect, we have now gone 13-4 in the last 17
Damn

Good. And the easiest schedule imaginable until later in January.

I legit thought we could have won every game in December, and that included the Hawks and pistons games,
Had we done so, we would have been at the 20 win mark already

KAT is a huge problem for the opponents as 5 but he can get in foul troubles easily too if they happen to be aggressive. This might be a huge problem for us in the playoffs, he's struggled in the past in such scenarios.

Best if he just allows few buckets on his head, similarly to how Jokic does it and learns how to play good sloppy defense.
